Absolutely agree that popular music is not (always) equal to quality. Actually, I think much of the real quality music never gets popular. The mass wants to hear relatively simple music. This can be quality music, sure. More complicated music is generally niche, and is what I usually like; Music that mostly doesn't get liked by the mass hence it does not get popular. But then again: What is quality? :) Taste is what it's about and fortunately my taste is generally not the taste of the mass :)

Well said! Yeah it's also important to remember how subjective everything is. Music and humor are two very good examples. We're all different inside and some things click for some people and not for other people. I have my own tastes and I do not let the masses define them for me. Regardless of popularity I only like something if I like it, and could never understand following bandwagons.
