Since I listen to a lot of genres, and am always seeking out new music, I hear a fair amount of new pop. Unfortunately most of it sucks horribly - like worse than 70s, 80s and even most 90s pop. Technology has made talent unnecessary, but some of us can still tell the difference between talented tripe vs polished & processed turds.
For example, that Sasami "Honeycrush" song you shared is a pop song, and I dig it. I also like "Never Need Me" by Rachel Chinouriri (and I saw it on a few best-of lists this year). Hard Life (formerly Easy Life) is also pop and their single this year "Tears" is really good. But a lot of today's pop is airhead bimbo slut ditz anthem crap by people can't actually sing or play an instrument.
I didn't like most of the 80s girlie pop (Tiffany, Debbie, Whitney, Taylor Dayne, Sweet Sensation, Seduction, Lisa Lisa, etc) but at least there was a baseline of some actual talent buried under those annoying songs.
