Why does this site pretend like Millennials didn’t kill R&B(Male Specifically)

[CrimsonTider]

The decline of R&B parallels the listening habits and taste of millennials. The labeled supplied what Millennials demanded (Rap music) which minimized the resources put into R&B

Sohh, AHH Boxden etc were all sites filled with Millennials discussing rap music heavily. Not R&B

Millennials preferring rap music is how we got here

“R&B is too vulgar”
“R&B is missing soul”

What's the basis for R&B?

Choirs?
School music classes?

I mean if you remove all the places where people learn how to play instruments and learn how to sing, isn't it fair to draw the conclusion that those kids aren't going to grow up knowing how to create original music or perfect a skill like singing?

I mean this doesn't apply to just R&B. It applies to all music, really.
There are no groups now. No bands now. It's just people sampling the samples.

Someone here a long time ago once posted a Rick James clip where I think he hinted at this kind of thing.

Didn’t die. It’s just the whispering, dark, emo, artist from the Drake tree rose.

Now a church background artist with large vocals? They’re around but not push to the forefront.

You don’t need any of that for R&B. What you need is demand for it in order for resources to be put behind it

There’s no demand because millennials prefer rap

Mainstream male R&B is dead and has been dead for years now

Its some descent male R&B artist out now. They just don't do that hard and passionate singing in abundance like they use to in large numbers..

 

[KidJSoul]

The weeknd (and partially Drake I guess) led that dark RnB wave

but even then the weeknd is not exclusively R&B

There’s plenty of artist still making great music and I listen to it but none of what you posted registers

How is this take False?

It’s some descent male R&B artist out now. They just don't do that hard and passionate singing in abundance like they use to in large numbers..

And why is this? Because millennials prefer rap and that’s ok because rap is better than R&B

RNB is in a better state than hip hop so I dont know what you talking about. RNB acts create more original songs and do sample every damn thing like these new “rappers” in hip hop.

Mainstream r&b is dead if you are talking about male singers.

I believe millennials don't believe in the God as previous generations did. Previous generations use to move mountains singing to a God. Thats gone in abundance..

Previous generations use to sing passionately to the opposite sex in abundance. And im going back to the 60s when I say this, further back for those who can remember. Eddie Levert type shyt. Millennials don't like each other in masses like previous generations.

The passion about the issues have changed along with the experiences. So I'd assume the sound will change as well..
