It's the decade where the effective homogenization of popular music took place
Before, pop used to exist in the mainstream alongside other music, hell, for the decades before it couldn't even be considered a separate genre
But thanks to eletronics and digital production, pop started being way more streamlined, and managed to swallow it's influences into it's own thing by the end of the decade
Rock, rap, RnB, soul, all still existed, but they slowly gave space to pop starting in the 80s
Now rock in the mainstream is dead, rap lost it's edge, and any influence pop wears is bleached into a product, lacking even the basic artistic merit of composition as a craft
