Proposed: Natural Selection in Pop Music Has Favored Freaks

[NotHardUp1]

There is a multiple choice poll attached if you choose to participate.

The resolution is that competition in an ever-widening market had caused the popular music industry to increasingly select for the extreme. Lesser talents, names those that can merely sing great, are deselected by neglect.

Pop music here is merely used to distinguish from programmatic or classical music.

Discuss.

There are so many people who can sing that you need a gimmick of some kind to stand out from the crowd.
It can be your voice or your look

Two of the main requisites for success in pop music today are being a bad role model and an exposed labia.
