So I've seen a lot of people talking about how pop music has gotten objectively worse and pointing to the fact that there's less and less variation in music as time goes on
But, if there's a "right" way to make music, then inevitably more and more music would move towards it, meaning that the best music would have the least variety, not the most
That doesn't mean I necessarily believe it's better or worse, just that if we're going to claim there's an objectively correct way to do music, then it would be the most refined and least varied music

A slightly click bait article on what you have mentioned. Yes, it's true that production is what makes pop music. To be fair, it's not very easy to come up with simple four by for melody which will stick in a person's head, which is what pop music trying to achieve with it's hook and repeated chorus. A good ear for melody will be appreciated in whatever form. Steven Wilson had also mentioned that pop music has everything that good music should; except substance, That's what makes it more entertainment and less art.
