This doesn't bother me one bit. I think he's making a mistake though.
Taylor Swift, Timbaland, and Bruno Mars are all arguably homogenous music made by marketing groups for middle American focus groups. They are endlessly replaceable, rather forgettable, artists and will be lost to history by the 'next big thing' that sounds just like it or very similar in a year or two. It has more in common with pop fashion than originally expressive art.
Music made by marketers for middle America focus groups commodifies music so that the next thing can easily replace the current thing.
Who remembers blaque, or 3LW, or All-4-One or the train is boy and girl bands from the past?
This is just the music business cannibalizing itself.
Truly expressive, original, personal, music will always be timeless in my opinion, because its irreplaceable, the style is non reproducible, and it's pretty much unexplainable how it's created.even by the artist...see led zepp, Beatles, Billy Corgan, Mozart, etc. etc.
That's my thoughts and what music I think what he should be focusing on.
