Heh I was born in 1991 also, and the popband stuff was everywhere, and I like the majority of the 2000+ material too
It's not as good as the 90's stuff, but I still enjoy most of it.
But now I only like pop music if it comes from Bon Jovi for some reason. If I heard...let's say...Lost Highway the song by another artist on the radio I'd dismiss it, but I love it by Bon Jovi. Get what I mean?
And before anyone says it, a-ha is an exception to the whole pop thing <_< They're more than Take On Me

And they didn't write mindless pop either.
