I think there's an insane amount of musical genius in current pop and people don't give it the credit it deserves

How is there no credit? Pop is so popular, right? It's what most people listen to! But I find that people are really reluctant to praise it seriously. They have no problem calling obscure things musical geniuses, but when it comes to pop, they're like "yeah I'm vibing, but it's superficial".

I find there's so much music genius in current pop. If you really get into songs, say of Weeknd, Dua Lipa, Sabrina Carpenter, Purple Disco Machine, and many more, it's actually so complex! A lot of structure, a lot of elements, and they work so well together.

I kinda bet that if you put those songs in different genre skins, they could top the charts of those genres.

If you agree, do you have any pop artist that people should appreciate more for their musical genius?

EDIT: Hahah, looks like this is an actual unpopular opinion
