I have always liked all that music you mention, plus other music in the same vain.  The whole bulk of it seemed to endure and continue developing in the same caliber.  But all of a sudden in the last couple years, a new genre of music called “Adult Contemporary” and “Adult Alternative” has arisen.   If I drive across northern Wisconsin, I can hear one AC hit after another, and every single one is just horrid and obnoxious.  Adult alternative is better, but it has some of the same elements.  Generally, AC in particular, sounds like it was produced by television interests.  It has big production values, but has tacky lyrics and night club act melody.  I am amazed that a band like OM&M has come along right out of left field in the midst of all this new low of AC and AA.  That woman singing in OM&M started that band.  She previously performed as a solo singer with some accompaniment, and it was called Songbird.  She said that in Iceland it is dark half the year so people tend to be introspective, and they tend to get into artistic expression.  Being brought up with formal music education is routine for everybody.  If you notice when they play, there are pauses and blank spaces in the song, and absolutely perfect timing when they stop and start.  You need spaces in music.
