Oh you kids today with your Taylor Swifts and your Doja Cats and your I can’t come up with the name of a third modern musician…

Beyonce. Rihanna (reminds me of rhinitis). Dua Lipa. BTS.

I shit on modern music sounding all the same but I somehow (subconsciously) picked very different sounds.

It’s just because history only remebers the good songs and artists. The 70’s and 80’s were full of derivative crap too but most of it got dorgotten. Theres also just more artists nowadays, so the repetitive shit is more precalent
I was explaining this to someone the other day who thought modern rap was all trash whereas the 90s and 2000s were all gold. I explained there are thousands of moderately successful acts from those decades we’ve just forgotten when remembering the few dozen names we call great.
It’s called the Survivorship Bias
