@ticklerguy I pretty well stopped listening to new music after the 80"s.
I started exploring music from previous era's.

Try by Pink
Tennessee Whiskey by Chris Stapleton
Humble and Kind by Tim McGraw
Sound of Silence by Disturbed (I know it's a cover)
That's all I got. 🤷♀️

Someone younger and more into music than myself would have to do that.
I believe it is actually difficult, not because music is worse today, but because it is more diverse and accessible than ever.
People can reach and access music that speaks too their personal niche. It becomes more an expression of identity than of unity. Popular songs are more quickly drowned out by niche songs. In 25 years, people will be listening to songs from the last 5. But they are all going to have their own songs they do it with. There will be fewer broad culturally shared classics like Queen or the Beatles.

@chrisCA "super groups" largely are commercial constructs created through publisher investment into advertisement and industry connections to get their people into radios and televisions. They always have been, really. They attempt to use human psychology to create a popularity bubble. It's honestly how most celebrity works. Television and radio has quickly faded as primary ways to consume music, and thus the constructed "super groups" have a more difficult time creating enough momentum to create the celebrity feedback loop enjoyed by earlier generations.

@chrisCA not particularly. Having a large demographic helped. But it was more about access. There was no internet back then. Diverse music came from record stores. Free music came only over the radio. Most people listen to free music and don't buy music they don't already know they will like.
As such, the five or so radio stations in range of your home (unless you lived in a city) was what you got exposed to. Other exposure came from live shows which had very limited ability to break out because you could only do one at a time and only so many people could reach or fit into a venue. To break out you needed good shows and people sharing with their friends, which they could only do in person with physical copies. A record label had literal make or break powers by being able to send a group's song to every major radio station in the country.
The internet destroyed that monopoly power.

I have the radio on at work and haven't heard one new song in the last 10 years that's made me want to hear it again, all forgettable shite.

I think the songs that are popular today will be looked back upon fondly, like all oldies, but the ones that pack a real punch? I got nothin, but today's pop music isn't written for a dude like me anyway.
