I don't think pop music has ever been much different to be honest. There's been brief periods when different types of music have been popular -- Beatles, T-Rex, Slade, Hawkwind, Sex Pistols, Tubeway Army, that sort of thing -- but those have always been the exceptions and there has always been the more sanitised/manufactured music underneath ready to take over again once the latest fad is over. The main difference I think is none of the less mainstream bands bother with major record labels any more so most people will never get to hear them.
