I think it's moreso the effect of big music labels figuring out how to make music with the broadest possible appeal. Clearly it worked, because these songs do really well statistically, but the result is songs with the blandest possible personality

Man, I can't remember the title, but whatever that Ed Sheeran song that exploded in like, 2018 or something? That was so bland and boring. I was baffled at how popular it was.

Also, how the hell did the Chainsmokers hit it big? Every single song is the same, monotonous "melody". I don't get how anyone listens to them without going mad.
