One of the many running gags in Smash Hits in the 80s was a Paul Weller quote "It's like punk never 'appened" which was a handle for the way a certain group of people complained about the pop music of the day.
However you feel about 80s pop (I think it was one of the most refreshing and organic times in music) it does make the case that people have always complained in this manner about the music of the day.
