GET OFF MY LAWN!
This is your last chance. After this, there is no turning back. You take the blue pill—the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill—you stay in Wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes. Remember: all I'm offering is the truth. Nothing more.
What happens if I take both?

Meh. Straw man using Bieber and Katie Perry
Timbre complexity:
Lyric complexity:
The delayed Hook:
Compression: Don't know that we can blame current artists for MP3 compression
Mere Exposure effect: Like FM radio in the 60s and 70s?
Music is Dying: No it's not. There has just been an atomization of availability for every genre. Thus the total artists in all genres have increased, but because no one listens to radio, there will never be another Beatles or Madonna or Michael Jackson. When we all had the same sources for music, we all thought those were the best artists because that is what we had at our disposal (see mere exposure effect).
As for back then, Muddy Waters is responsible for much of the cannon of Led Zepplin, Hendricks and the Stones. Townes Van Zandt and Hank Williams accounts for many country songs. Also, let's not forget the Monkees. The Beatles ripped them off all the time.

"Mere Exposure effect: Like FM radio in the 60s and 70s?"
And AM radio in the '50's and '60's. I haven't watched all of the vid yet but jumped around; he talks about how "corporate" tries to saturate the air with the songs they push. That is certainly nothing new, and was kicked about in the "payola" scandal of the '50's.
Although corporate FM radio is more monotone than it was 40 years ago, with the big ones like Sinclair, it happened back then, too. But what balances the exposure effect today is what's called "media fragmentation" and the forced playlist on corporate is not as ubiquitous with all the other choices and sources.
The vid seems to dwell on pop music, too, so it has little relevance to real music--like a study on children's sweetened breakfast cereal is not a study about food.
