Controversial opinion: Windows 95 man is not an outlier, it's the new norm for music.
In the last few years a significant portion of music hits are associated with memes and TikTok trends. Memes and the absurd are becoming an integral part of the current musical culture. So much so that it has become a part of music labels' strategy - find the next viral meme songs first.
Windows 95 man is also a reflection of that shift in musical culture. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.
