Crazy how if Blinding Lights didn't take off like it did the whole era would've been a nothing era and Weeknd's legacy wouldn't be near what it is
Like that even matters? the music spoke for itself lol
I'd argue After Hours is more influential than MBDTF
It’s easier to rip off 80s synth wave sound than MBDTF sound
How so
The electro vibe that he did on there is much more accessible and therefore easier to emulate than what ye did with MBDTF.

Right on, I typed exactly that in my response. That Kanye album is sitting on an island by its own, where it's admired but not a lot of people that can steer their own projects in that direction
Save Your Tears out now
Great song, wouldn’t have been a huge hit if Blinding Lights wasn’t. There’s such a thing as a victory lap hit

Album is very good imo, high highs but some skips.

I mean sure easier to emulate but how does that make it more influential
Music aside, what’s undeniable is it’s one of the best album eras we’ve had from a male artist in a minute. To cap the era with a damn Super Bowl halftime show (which launched him to stadium status) is insane. All off one album.

Because people emulated it.
Who emulated it?
Miley, Kid Laroi, Anitta, Bieber, Sheeran, Harry at times

Out of these names I only heard Bieber, Kid laroi and Harry’s last albums.
I don’t really hear much after hours influence in any of these
Mr Morale is probs the closest thing we've had to a MBDTF level project. I'm not sure what it is but Mr Morale has always reminded me of a Kanye album

You’re crediting all 80s revivalism or influence to The Weeknd. Dua lipa also had a 80s influenced album

True! After Hours and Future Nostalgia did that together, and were released a week apart. Abel and Dua influenced their pop contemporaries. Case closed.

They didn’t influence anybody. 80s revivalism isn’t even something new.
And let’s say he did influence them. Who wants to give a nigga points for influencing some soccer mom music

Your opinion of the actual music itself is up to you. That's your personal taste.
The influence part is not opinion. Blinding Lights did historic numbers and other artists bit off the sound. This is the music industry, s*** like that happens all the time.

We’re talking about this album being in the context of being in the class of MBDTF and you’re bringing up how it influenced Miley Cyrus
