They're not controlled or promoted properly, because no-one knows anyone. You couldn't name like... 4 really popular singers now.

Dua Lipa and BTS,yes. Maybe. Even that - They're not shoved in our face like Britney or Backstreet Boys, Beieber etc were

Beyonce is still having hits in the top 40 and she was going when I was about 16. I'm now 30.

Don't you think it's better when things were more controlled, though?

Like... You could name a roster of pop acts from each decade. Like you can name a sports team, or WWE's top guys.

Now, there's an oversaturation of people. Which in turn gives no major stars, or makes it harder for major stars to be sold or consumed by people.

Billie Eilish and Olivia Rodrigo, already seemed to have fazed out. After one hit, basically.

Bieber was the last one I can remember who was like... Major. Like Katy Perry, Rhianna, Lady Gaga, Taylor Swift, Adele etc.

None of the Millenial stars have been replaced by copies. Or even a similar thing.

Common knowledge that it's fucked. Wouldn't surprise me if music just doesn't exist as a form of entertainment ( like football) in 100 years.

I'm a musician, myself and if I could go back and tell my 14 year old self. I'd say - The bad outweighs the good. Too much stress. Pick another hobby/future dream.
