I find most artists these days are just trying to be like and rehash songs and fashion styles from the 70s and 80s. Harry Styles with his nonsense dressing up as a woman, which had been done by various musicians back in the 80s.
Nothing seems original any longer. I wasn't even raised during that era as I was born in 1988. I just prefer the music from 20+ years ago. The young artists these days don't have any originality and it's grating. Even artists today sampling tracks from the 80s.
I barely listen to any new music. I grew up with and was a fan of late 90s and early 00s music, especially the r'nb and hip hop. I no longer listen to hip hop music as it's total garbage and just mumbling crap. It's not even nostalgia either, because plenty of people my age or younger agree that older music was far better.
This is why Adele, to me, is overrated. When you think back to the female singers of old, you realise that this generation has so many overrated artists. There used to be Aretha Franklin, Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston, Cher, Annie Lennox, Allanah Myles, Pat Benatar, Sade, I could go on and on.
