Why does all new pop music sound the same?

Basically because it IS the same - I think anyone with ears already knows that, but there is more to it.

I still follow a few "new" acts like Steven Wilson, David Sylvian, Bjork but the only recent 'top 100" album in my collection is "Black Star". Makes me feel old...
