The Rhiannas, Biebers and Gagas aren't making the music industry any worse than the previous generations of pop music from the mid to late 20th century. And destroying the music industry would only likely cause ripple that would result in a recession anyway. Wishing for a version of Disco Demolition Night won't work either.
What should be done is the encouragement of radio stations like this one about to open in Toronto: Indie 88.1
The reason that radio changed wasn't because of the labels as it was because of Clinton signing a bill into law that got rid of the restriction banning any company from owning more than a set number of stations in any American city. When that law was passed allowing it back in 1995, then radio became the shit hole we now know it as. Labels (and I'm not defending them, mind you) had little to do with it other than to do what they usually do.
