And music nowadays also doesn't play nearly as big a part in popular culture as it did in 2000. There are less household names, less memorable hits, less truly timeless artists and less exposure/interest around them, and also less platforms to create that interest.
True. No doubt music was way more exciting and diverse then.
But still Rihanna has a noticeable edge on Britney/Beyonce on the commercial success aspect even though she doesn't in iconography/ legacy.

I agree but I feel like every generation says this
The bubblegum->urban->generic poprock periods were just as disposable as now
We'll just have to accept that the 80s was the peak of pop
