Why are main pop boys a rare breed these days?

I think The Weeknd is one of the only male pop stars to bring something edgy and different nowadays. Guys like JB, Drake, Bruno, Harry… they just kinda make basic music and don’t really stand out like female pop stars. I genuinely cannot think of a male musician who is the equivalent of Lady Gaga, Taylor Swift or Beyoncé today.

i lowkey kinda mixed. i agree tho for every gaga there is only one the weeknd. id argue beyonce counterpart is bruno... both known for performance/talent more than the music these days. but like the newer pop girls are just as basic as the classic typically pop boys like...

sabrina = justin: both got top40 geared voices and make music that fit that... sure like expresso/sorry etc are quite catchy but are too formulated

tate: her music slaps but she more of a dance girl ig cuz whenever tate drops, yk exactly what kinda music she'll put out. 

addison: probably my fav new pop girl but shes limited talent wise so theres only so much she can do to impress.

harry/ed = taylor/gracie: the og not like other girl/boy... relates to the audience ig through vulnerability. not the most unique tone or special but ordinary sells cuz of songwriting. harry/taylor at least try tho with the aesthetics each era. 

but i agree in the way that the girls are better at differentiating themselves... like olivia billie adele ariana etc all got their own lane. and even the girls i listed can all coexist and have their own brand.

Sombr peaked and fell hard so damn quick imo

Big oof when there is no integrity

i saw this clip of him on insta: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DSQoGlSlaMZ/?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet

he pretty much just says he just teases unfinished work like the chorus on tiktok and just finishes them for the ones that do well. its crazy how this is what our culture turned to these days. :messga:
