Lol, do you think only pop star music exist? It's actually the contrary that happend. Now, more than ever, anyone can make music. This is a really bad take.

I think the actual take is probably closer to "I wish we went back to a time when record companies would take a bet on anyone, regardless of the overall package, looks etc"

Which tbh, is probably more of a fairy tale view of years olden days than anything else.

Exactly. I don't think it's hard to see what OP meant here.

And I think it's still the case that they prefer certain types of people to push in the music industry
