So, I've seen more and more music videos with 200+ million views pop up on my youtube recommendations. I like some of the songs that are out there, but to be honest, they all feel a bit too mainstream to me. I mean, I feel like (generally speaking) every massively popular artist out there right now either writes about beer or something along that lines, or about something love related. Considering I work at a restaurant where popular music is playing constantly throughout every single shift, I think I've had my fill of it. I prefer to listen to and to support less popular indie artists these days. I'm somewhat inspired by a lot of them to some degree.
What is your opinion on pop music? Are their any particular artists that you enjoy listening to?

As someone who used to be completely against mainstream pop, it's really not that bad tbh. Camilla Cabelo, Lorde, Billie Eilish, Taylor Swift, etc. are pretty good. Then there's more "indie pop" like Carly Rae Jepsen. She's one of my favorites!

I used to hate it, but I've softened my opinion on it over the years. I'm not saying I think it's good - but, most of them are just generic pieces of music that feel like they came off an assembly line, and aren't worth getting worked up about either way.
Hip-hop, on the other hand...

Same, but I think it's because pop has gotten better than it was. Artists like my girl Taylor Swift, Carly Rae Jepsen, Lana del Rey, etc, have all made pop waaay more tolerable than it was late 00s, early to mid 10s.

There is some good mainstream pop but I have to search for the good stuff out of countless bad pop music.
