With music being free their isn't much culture or talent these days in the mainstream, I know a lot of young people that feel the same way.
Take the we are the world video from the 80s...amazing talents from all backgrounds and genres. Imagine getting the top 30 artists together today and comparing.
I'm slightly over 35 but I have realized for a long time that today's popular music is ridiculously bad historically. (I have felt the same way since my 20s probably earlier)
Where is Michel Jackson? Ray Charles? Steve Perry? Aretha Franklin? Whitney Houston, Bruce Springsteen, and so on. Nobody today is even in the same stratosphere.
In 30 years nobody will be listening to some clown mumbling to a beat stolen from a 70s tune and calling it a classic IMO

There's plenty of brilliant music being made these days. You just have to wade through a sea of s*** to find it. But it's there.
Sadly you won't find what you're looking for from SNL though. Most of the bands/artists who have appeared on that show in the last couple of years have been garbage IMO, save for a the occasional gem here and there. I'm not really a fan of Billie Eilish's music, but I thought her performance was pretty great. Certainly one of the better ones I've seen on that show in a while.
