There really aren't objective metrics. There are quantifiable metrics, but turning something into a number doesn't make it fully objective.
And nothing pushes for bland personalities near as much as people pining for the past.
- wizofaus 3y agoThat last statement might hold for "recent past" (last 10 or 15 years, say), but the one recent top 40 hit that stood out for me has a 50s type vibe (Until I Found You, Stephen Sanchez). I'm not particularly a fan of that style (well before my time!) but it's surely not "bland".
