Keep in mind though that there was a ton of music from that era that we don't hear today because it wasn't very good. And even some of the stuff that is remembered today was pretty dire. "Yummy yummy yummy I've got love in my tummy" anybody?
Coke is over rated. Pepsi is better. Although compared to less known brands they both suck.
While Tristan und Isolde is a landmark for pushing chromaticism to its limits, for its harmonic innovations, and for its revolutionary use of leitmotif, even Wagner himself didn’t regard it as his finest achievement.
Best soda is Italian cream soda.
Agree. We have a store by us that brings in imported Italian cream soda, but since the tariffs hit they stopped carrying it
No I'm talking about the make your own variety. Were you take an unflavored carbonation of choice (I usually use a club soda), a syrup of choice (I like to mix hibiscus, and strawberry with a dash of chocolate), and a dairy or dairy substitute of choice(I usually go with heavy whipping cream, or a combination of that and half and half). Measure them in your preferred proportions, and order and mix. I like putting in the dairy first, about a third to half of the cup. Then I'll put in the syrups and mix it all up, before high pouring the club soda and giving it a good stir. Best part is I can completely control how much sugar goes into the drink, and there's usually enough to share with my SO.Agree.

I feel like I’m courting diabetes just by reading this list of ingredients.
There were definitely people getting off on jazz from the 20's.
When it comes to the Hot-100 in most genres, I think you're probably right... They're mostly very simple song structures or very repetitive samples. When Sabrina Carpenter's Please Please Please got popular, I read somewhere that it was one of only two songs with a key change to hit number 1 in like a decade
That's a fair point about about certain eras getting to sweep up all of the low-hanging fruit when a new kind of music gets developed. But 60s rock isn't the only new genre that got to do this, there was all kinds of innovative stuff happening in 1970's punk, 1980's rap, 2000's electronica, 2010's bedroom-and-laptop music... you never know what's coming next until it happens!
Depends on what syrup and how much you use, also on how big of a glass you have. Like I said, it's a great way to control how sugary the drink is.
You left out the (my opinion) best era of musical variety and experimentation, the 90's. Especially the early 90's. Most of the experimental stuff didn't survive but that's probably true of any era.When it comes to the Hot-100 in most genres, I think you're probably right...

Making commercial music more clip-friendly for TikTok probably doesn't help, and Kpop's influence definitely reinforces that Band Brand aspect.
But on the other hand, I looked up a playlist of all the #1 singles of 1964, and it's a ton of early Beatles hits and some other artists I recognize, but most of it is just moderately pleasant 4/4 pop songs!

Or maybe your ears are primed to recognize music from the 60s-70s and doesn't notice music from other eras as much
That music is used to appeal to nostalgia for people who are in their prime buying power.
We keep our heads down and stay out of it. Millenials and Boomers fight each other and we get left alone.
A whole bunch of them at the theme park?
wasn't everyone obsessed with big band swing music for a minute in the late 1990s??
Teaching grade schoolers to do the twist in the early 90s was popular though.
That's a good one for getting their wigglies out.
Not everyone, no.
And even if it were true, "for a minute" doesn't mean "not eclectic."
Yes, there were large events going on. Maybe I just hung out eclectic types, but there was definitely broad interest. Look at the movie The Sting, which was heavily about the music. Or the movie The Cotton Club. The seventies had a huge jazz revival going on.
