People were saying the same things about the Beatles as they now say about multitudes of young bands. Now they are old people music and thus “real music”.
Music is just becoming lazier.
We got from needing 70 instruments and an incredible opera singer to 6 instruments and a talented jazz singer to 4 instruments and a good singer to 0 instruments a bad singer but a lot of vocoder.
I didn’t said it was bad, just lazy.
We’ve also gone from people needing to be independently wealthy to even think about creating great music to just needing a cheap computer. Music hasn’t gotten lazier, the barrier to entry has just gotten lower meaning there is a lot more being made across the quality spectrum.

Music is more accessible than ever.
That’s a good thing in my opinion.
