Your mothers house
Damn bro, she putting out?
It’s so simplistic and dismissive to just say “every generation says that” when there’s people pointing at the reasons, ie streaming era, that the music landscape has shifted for the worst
personally im coming at it from the dusthead perspective of looking at the whole timeline historically. there might be changes in the mix of how good mainstream music is vs underground (which is largely from the financial factors); and i think i agree with some of what you (+ET) are saying regarding that.
+another key thing to keep in mind imo is how we obviously can't see impact and whats really a classic until time passes. because of the cultural consensus and music just having to grow on you. so no i don't have the connection yet with a lot of 2022 and 2023 albums/songs but there are few that have settled with me more that make me believe this era will be similar enough to most others
I think it's also worth noting that the definition of what is really "mainstream" in today's environment is different and harder to pin down than in the past. its more common for us now to have decently sized hits songs that dont chart, as well as songs that chart instantly and then fall like that BTS solo member song. i dont think looking at just the billboard top 40 in 2023 and comparing it to 30 years ago gives a direct comparison of mainstream music
maybe rambling but yeah

I didn’t say there’s no notable, I said most crash and burn quickly with a few notable exceptions
you think those non-exception artists now crash and burn significantly more quickly than the past?
