Spaw: I think I get the point of this topic. In 1958 "edgy" songs started appearing in Popular music and the world has never been the same since. OK, but I am asking people to consider that the new sensibilities have resulted in the death of Popular music as we knew it. Pleasant songs you can still sing 40 years later.

It is not that kids don't have their own stuff, they do. It is the lack of artists like Nat Cole, Bing Crosby and Patti Page who can be enjoyed by two or three generation of people at the same time. Inclusive and positive people. That is what separates Popular music, an art form, from music that is popular.

Country music has it all over the rest as far as including kids. An 8 year old trying to play fiddle on the same stage with 92 year old Bill Carlisle. It may not your favorite music nor is it mine, but it is positive.
