Mid 00's. Rock completely died after a laughable attempt of garage revival and hip hop took its place. So some producers like Timbaland and the Neptunes made cool to like commercial pop music and here we are.

basically every 15 year old hates pop music and then about half of them realize they like it somewhere between 16 and 60 and decide they're the first person/generation to ever embrace the power of pop music

lol yes, before opening the thread i answered 2 myself that kelefa sanneh's 2004 piece was *the moment* when it suddenly became cool
― dyl, Friday, 14 November 2014 02:00 (nine years ago) link
"Wannabe" was definitely an interesting cultural moment in the sense that America had banned really sugary girly pop for a few years but the UK still loved it so much that it started to spill over to us and it seemed so out of place here

"stop" by spice girls (music video playing on a projection screen during COSMIC BOWLING) was the first time i really fell in love with a pop song. any song, really. i was 9. seminal moment, it was. then i kept pretty snobby until toxic.
wait why are we taking this thread seriously
― linda cardellini (zachlyon), Friday, 14 November 2014 02:28 (nine years ago) link
FPing myself
i would say this started post-chillwave, can vaguely remember the Wavves dude making a big deal out of liking Blink 182, i.e. "hey this is actually really good!!!"
and then the insinuating RnB trend drove that point even closer and the Grimes thing as previously mentioned and here we are

Kogan and Eddy were the first critics I liked who were into pop music, ca. late '80s.
― timellison, Friday, 14 November 2014 02:33 (nine years ago) link
Like sort of explicitly into pop music, I guess. I read Christgau, too.

Ariel Pink fits somewhere into this narrative as well.

pop music is cool and fun but make sure you also spend a lot of time analyzing it. pop stars are here for you. they want you to weigh in on their actions and tweet tweet tweet
it's about ethics in game journalism

only babies and little girls like commercial pop. adults, who are cool, listen to real music that isn't commercial pop like the beatles and eminem and sometimes coldplay
