There’s something undeniably raw and thrilling about music from the 90s and earlier. Artists largely stood or fell on pure talent, live performance, and word of mouth that gave them momentum to get into the spotlight. Since around the mid-2010s or so I feel like that landscape changed with the help of auto-tune, streaming services, etc. There's also the fact that nowadays, anyone can become an artist with the help of Spotify or SoundCloud. This brings about a dilution of the talent pool as a whole making it harder to find music you really like.
