What happened to Gen z and the younger Gen in music? The majority of the top music acts in every genre are in their 30s or they are pushing 30

[Ethnic Vagina Finder]

You gotta look at who the top rap artists were over the past decade or so.

Drake - ain’t nobody trying to be the next Drake
Future - ain’t nobody trying to be the next future
Migos - ain’t nobody trying to be the next Migos.

And other rappers have bled over into so many other genres and sounds that it’s simply too niche.

Then there’s streaming and the way people consume music.

In the past your viewing options were limited when it came to videos. It’s was a lot easier to promote artists.

Music has simply become more disposable,

brain dead no creativity

 

[Lonj]

Music, talent and star power have been getting gradually weaker since the 70's. No way should Drake still be on top a decade and a half later yet here we are.

Who paved the way for Millennials? Generation X

Generation X lived through the golden age of pop culture. Music included.

Cut from a different cloth, they were the trendsetters. Rebellious against Baby Boomers.

As a millennial it’s a toss up between y’all and the boomers ngl

 

[Jasonmask]

Zoomers rather be reacters to content than actually taking the time ti make it. Or they make obscure niche shyt

Similar thing in Sports

A lot of the last clear generational talents are Millennials and up:

Lebron, Messi, Ronaldo, Serena, Floyd,Bolt.

And they game based off fundamental's and not flash

Alright. Minor correction.

Millennials - 1A
Gen X - 1B

Yall did pave the way.

Ice spice is 23
Bad bunny is only just about to hit 30 next year

Oversaturation and disposable music. People get a hit or two out of it and their run is over. Even the artists who you might think are "big" are more niche and have trouble selling tickets to shows.

No one in this thread is under 30 by the looks it so far. Including myself, so we have no idea who is really the popping artist are amongst the young crowd. Cause it ain't most off them to these kids.

Ice Spice sold like 8k first week and that's with streaming numbers being able to be faked... They are trying to turn her into a star, there's a couple singles that got big but will she be around in another year or two? I don't know. Glorilla went through the same thing and now you don't hear her.

There's metrics that show who is or isn't. The issue is more that nobody new is really poppin

They had a longer time to hone their craft.
