A decade ago the music industry started to shift from everybody chasing trends and sounding somewhat familiar by accident to everything being made to sound exactly the same to be able to be pushed out the door faster, make more money and promote further degeneracy. Nowadays everything pop is just terrible in every facet except for making catchy beats to hook people, while at least further back the songs sounded similar yet different enough that they felt natural and not manufactured. Most "artists" nowadays are just pretty faces and actors to play a part in pushing culture destroying music that assaults our ears every day.
