Yes but there's more nuance to it. Basically it comes down to quantization. Music used to be recorded on tape. That meant whatever sound went into the recording device was used as the recording. You heard imperfections, studio noise, and sometimes the band was even off beat a little. That's what added human elements to the music. That's what made you feel a kinship with the artist.

Now you can't record on tape anymore unless you do it at home with vintage equipment. Everything is done via DAW (digital audio workspaces like protools).

The problem isn't that the DAWs are bad, it's that they're too good at what they do. Everything is clipped to a measure and it's all perfectly quantized (made to be on beat and in sync). It's polished with the perfect amount of reverb and echo and shine. Every instrument shines through the mix right where it's supposed to be. Every vocal mix is perfectly tweaked.

The songs have no inspiration because they're going for success. They're already performing on Instagram and TikTok before they've ever had a practice in a basement.
