Autotune is the devil incarnate. I can't believe how people make money on their so called "music" nowadays. Artists like Black Eyed Peas make me shudder at the future of the industry.
Also, one can go "mainstream this, mainstream that" but the truth is; mainstream is where the money is at and where the vast majority of budgets and time get spent and generally dictates where the industry as a whole is going.
Just look at the simplification of recent games and gaming genres for an example of how mainstream crap dictates the overall direction of an entire industry (in case you were pondering the argument of "there's room for both").
