Destroy pop music?  What are you talking about?  Pop music survived and thrived.  It still does.
Popular music--in the sense of it being listened to by most of the country--no longer exists. It's a hundred different genres and sub-genres.
I'm not saying that there is no good music being made today. I'm saying that there is nothing that the whole country listens to.
Back when I was teaching middle school--pushing 20 years ago--the jazz band from my old high school played came to our school and played at an assembly.
The Screaming Eagles they were. When I was in high school, they played contemporary music. They recorded an album every year. I had the album from my sophomore year for a long time. Because it was also the title of the album, I remember that Track 1 was Simon and Garfunkel's "Scarborough Fair." It was a big song that year.

The other songs were of the same ilk. Instrumentals of big songs of right then. I'm sure there was a Beatles song on there.

Anyway, when the 2005 (or so) edition of the Screaming Eagles came to Woodrow Wilson M.S., they did not play contemporary music. What could they have played that everyone would recognize and appreciate? Instead, they played big band music. Swing. Benny Goodman, Glenn Miller, the Dorseys, Artie Shaw, et. al. Late '30s and WWII music.
And the kids loved it.

OK but rap and hip-hop didn't do that, and it certainly didn't happen in the 80s.  Country, western, jazz, rock and roll, hard rock, punk rock, new wave, pop, dance, disco, Motown, funk-- all existed before the 80s.  That's why specific-format radio stations existed.  In the late 70s, off the top of my head, Austin had 2 country stations, 1 rock station, 1 pop station, and even a couple of Tejano stations.  Bigger cities had more stations and a lot more variety.

In my childhood in the 70s there was no "popular music" uniting the entire country's musical tastes.  If such a thing ever existed, it was before I was born.

It just seems really weird-- and potentially racist-- to blame that on rap and hip-hop.

The barrier to entry doesn't exist any longer. If you can't play an instrument, well, you don't need any. You don't need studio time or a distribution deal.

The good part is that anyone with a creative force can build up their tracks on a computer and stream them. The downside is that people without much creativity can also do it.
