It comes to taste probably. The artists you listed were quite unique and groundbreaking for their time. TS is a run of the mill pop singer that's not really different in a sea of other pop stars.
theres nothing wrong with pop per say. i mean I certainly dont understand todays pop, but if you go fish out my ipod that hasnt been updated in 10 years I'm prepared to bet it has tons of 90's-00's pop. It just feels a lot like you know how little kids can ONLY talk about the thing they love and are so excited about? That, but with teenagers/20 somethings it becomes a bit more tedious. I'm not hear to shame other peoples interests, theres a special place in hell for folks who do that. But I also don't run around pretending I'm captain of the enterprise or telling everyone how Dune Pt1 was a cinematic masterpiece either.
When WrestleMania came to Toronto in the early 90s and the main event was Hulk Hogan vs Ultimate warrior, it was front page news in all the papers.
The hype leading up to it lasted months. Even people that didn't care for wrestling knew of it.
This swift thing feels the same.
Bahahaha. Snorted out my beer at that.
Yeah I might outed my whole personality on that one.
