The sad sorry state of current popular culture

Of course it was in a sad sorry state probably forever according to this quote:

“Here — shut that off!” cried the Shaggy Man, springing to his feet. “What do you mean by such impertinence?”
“It’s the latest popular song,” declared the phonograph, speaking in a sulky tone of voice.
“A popular song?”
“Yes. One that the feeble-minded can remember the words of and those ignorant of music can whistle or sing. That makes a popular song popular, and the time is coming when it will take the place of all other songs.”

– L. Frank Baum, The Patchwork Girl of Oz, 1913
