"I don't consider Gaga an artist. Well, maybe she's an artist for our time. Every generation gets the artist it deserves."

Bah, pop music has always been rather cheap as far as art goes, part of the bread and circuses for the masses. But what it lacks in art, it makes up for in money - so who cares? You don't have to go to the concerts or listen to the music. Though, even for the high-minded, I imagine that there is something fun in the music that can be appreciated, and you just need to find that which leaves you swaying with your eyes closed, lifting your spirit on the wings of dreams.
Elvis is my drug of choice. If you can listen to Beethoven and Mozart all the time, then good for you, but I think pop music has a little something for just about everyone. Maybe it's B.B. King and some of the blues singers, or the pop princesses, such as Madonna, Mariah Carey, Britney, or some of the boy wonders, such as New Kids On the Block, Backstreet Boys, Bieber, One Direction or whatever, or maybe its 50s rock and roll in general, or maybe even disco, or AC/DC and heavy metal. It's probably good to find your thing and enjoy it - in moderation. It's a big part of the culture.
