The Beatles. They were the definition of hype during their boy-band years in the early 60s, but pivoted mid-decade to a more experimental sound and more accomplished musicianship that remains unique, relevant, and impressive a half-century later.
I can't think of a modern equivalent. I guess it would be like if BTS somehow transformed into The Decemberists.
