I found this passage interesting: /What has changed is how the chords are spliced into melodies. In the 1950s many of the less common chords would chime close to one another in the melodic progression. More recently, they have tended to be separated by the more pedestrian chords, leading to a loss of some of the more unusual transitions. Timbre, lent by instrument types and recording techniques, similarly shows signs of narrowing, after peaking in the mid-60s, a phenomenon Dr Serrà attributes to experimentation with electric-guitar sounds by Jimi Hendrix and the like./ I believe that pop music today is very much influenced by guitar music and guitar thinking.
I believe that pop music today (and yesterday and earlier than that) is most often influenced by the desperate need to sound like other pop music.
