I kind of agree with you but I still thought I'd be fun to post.
America still had a monoculture due to the small amount of TV channels/press and no internet in the 70s/80s, and acts were more universal compared to early 2000s where it was very segmented , and I would argue that popular music really hit its stride in those decades and everything was new and exciting, synths were invented, art rock, pop stars appeared so those stars were more iconic and memorable because there was nothing like them before. And they were making amazing mainstream music, whereas in the 90s and onwards the real envelope pushing stuff was more indie.
I agree 100% with his post, this is why Britney is always gonna be so iconic. You have no idea how brilliant she is now but you'll appreciate her in the future. Iconicness.
