There's just a lot more stuff out now, all the time. It's not curated except by algorithms for the most part, so trendy shit is pushed to the top even if it sounds like shit. Also, think about this: who are the people who define themselves by what music they listen to? Pretty much teenagers. So they're the trend setters as far as internet popular music.

There's tons of great music out there, new or old, it's just not popular and generally harder to find.

I’ve posted a similar comment but what I feel, British born 2003, is that music ever since 2017 has became too Americanised. Is it just me or did hip hop take over the charts? I mean, American music existed in the charts before that but the type of music in the charts has become so American these days. TikTok has definitely changed music trends, and not for the best. Something happened in 2017 and music changed massively.
