Pop groups are not as popular as they used to be. The peak of pop groups was in the 90's/early 00's

I think he means like... Cheesy pop bands... Alphabeat are cheesy but I wouldn't consider them as being as cheesy as sclub etc... I agree though... They were very popular back then... I think the public have just gotten into a different kind of pop music

No they aren't. Not in the vein he is talking about. Under your logic anything popular is pop. He is reffering to pure pop pop. As in the genre of pop. That cheesy, manufactured, noughties bastion of noise.

Anyway, unisex pop groups went the way of the dodo in favour of 'serious' pop acts and Reality TV dream sequences.

True enough but they make their music, I guess that's the difference.

I can't actually think of a completely manufactured unisex pop group. Same Difference?
