That's because literally all popular music today sounds the same. It's all identical, computer made music with the exact same beats, sound effects and melodies as well as crappy lyrics written by like 50 people because the "artists" are too lazy to write themselves. Of course it will be forgotten. There are no real pop icons nowadays such as Britney for example. I mean who will remember Ariana Grande lol. Lady Gaga could possibly be remembered because she has quite a few memorable songs plus she created a completely crazy image early in her career but still has enormous talent naturally so she doesn't blend in as much as the rest. But she is the only one I can think of which stands out at all. Well there's always Miley Cyrus but... Her songs are trash. Very forgettable and she didn't create a memorable image in a good way, she just came off the same way as when Britney had her mental breakdown, kind of. Not as liberated or edgy like she probably aimed for. There are of course many really talented artists and bands still today but they aren't in the spotlight, you're lucky if you come across them. I also think that many real artists just wants to create music, they don't care as much for fame, which is why they don't get as marketed and end up mainstream.
The Beatles are memorable because they did a new thing, kinda, and they didn't stick to one genre but did both pop and rock and they did so brilliantly. Made their own stuff, played their own instruments. They were real musicians, not like the boybands of today that probably has barely held a guitar and even less written a song.
IIN That I think today's music will be totally forgotten in the future?
