"Vocals are bad nowadays" commonly said, but is it fair?

"Vocals Are Bad Nowadays"

I've seen this idea thrown around a lot, and there certainly is reason for it, with notable groups struggling to perform without Audio Mixing. Obviously we have also recently seen vocalists the likes of Lily, or groups such as BabyMonster showing up. But they are commonly seen as exceptions to the rule.

As a Gen2-3 old head, I was going back and listening to some personal favs from back in the day and was astounded by the vocal quality, and from groups that at the time just never received any attention for their vocals.

More or less. To really show the disparity, I'd call people to go back and look at your groups such as DalShabet, BESTie, Blady, HelloVenus Look for their live radio performances. None of them particularly known for having strong vocals and yet any one of those groups I feel would be lauded for their vocality nowadays.

Anyway, for anyone who does go back and listen, hope you all enjoy. I've got some Girl's Day waiting for me.
