Can you name all of the mainstream artists of today who will be forgotten and left behind 30 years from now?
I notice today's mainstream artists don't have talent, so they'll be forgotten and left behind in the next 30 years. I can think of a few artists who will be forgotten and left behind in the next 30 years now...
One Direction: They have no talent and they are just a product created by Simon Cowell on the X-Factor and no one takes them seriously. They're also just attention seekers, so they'll be gone in the near future.
Justin Bieber: His music is not talented and memorable and his fans are getting tired of him. So he'll vanish later on soon.
Katy Perry: Her albums aren't good and her songs aren't memorable. She is getting old and heading out of the spotlight and she will be replaced by the next big name female pop stars soon. And her girls fans are turning away from her now (I KNOW) so she'll disappear soon.
Kesha: She just autotunes her voice and her songs are just catchy beats that won't be remembered. She has no talent and she doesn't look like a big name in music history and legends. So she'll also vanish in the near future.
These are just some of the artists who I believe will be forgotten and left behind in the next 25-30 years from now and then new better artists will come into the music business afterwards!
Can you name me ALL of the Pop artists who will be forgotten and left behind in the next 30 years from now and why they'll be forgotten??

There are going to be some who are forgotten, but I think the musicians in your list won't. Not because they're good, but because they are so popular. People do remember who New Kids on the Block and The Backstreet Boys are.
I think there are going to be a lot of indie pop bands who are forgotten, considering they were a good 15-20 years too late. They didn't do anything new, just brought an already existing sound to the mainstream.
Sometimes musicians will be remembered even though they weren't popular during their day. So I think the same thing might be true here. And the thing is, you have no idea who these people will be. Nick Drake wasn't well-known until the 1980s, after musicians like REM and Kate Bush cited him as an influence. Slint wasn't well-known until the 2000s until Mogwai and Godspeed You Black Emperor cited them as an influence, and now their most famous album frequently makes best albums of the 90s lists.

All of the hipster bands, because they never got to be cool.
Your selections are wrong, actually. All of those will be remembered just like we remember Nancy Sinatra, The Monkees, The Partridge Family, The Bee Gees, The Village People, Cyndi Lauper, Prince, New Kids On The Block, The Spice Girls, The Backstreet Boys, Ricky Martin, etc etc...... even though the parents who listened to them wish their kids didn't know about them.

Actually, Justin Bieber and One Direction most likely will be remembered, not because of their talent, but because of their popularity. Really, the music industry is no longer about talent, it is about looks and how good of a music editing software that you have.
