It's hard to put my finger on it but somewhere in the mid-late part of that year the soul of music just got completely crushed and it has never been ressurected. From then on it's just been constant soulless and commercialised pop, ballads, EDM and indie music. I do know for sure that Eminem's Recovery album and Katy Perry's Teenage Dream album has something to do with this.

This song is from 2018 and definitely has soul. RIP. It would be better without the distorted trap beats imo. The other one you linked definitely has soul. It just feels that those songs are far and few between for the 2010s. Generally most songs feel extremely commercialised and soulless.

Another one from 2018. RIP.
Truth is every era has dumb music made for the radio, and actual soulful music made for the love of art. It's very rare the two mix.
Some artists like Drake even start out by making soulful music, and slowly devolve into whatever tf CLB was after they stop caring because superfans will eat up whatever they make now.

Following "Good 4 U"’s debut at number one on the Hot 100, it dropped to number two in its second week and held that rank for eleven non-consecutive weeks, tying Whitney Houston's "Exhale (Shoop Shoop)" for the most weeks spent at number two on the Hot 100
Papercuts:
US Hot Rock & Alternative Songs (Billboard)[24] 9 ( song closed out the VMAS)
Brutal:
Canada (Canadian Hot 100)[32] 13
US Billboard Hot 100[18] 12
US Hot Rock & Alternative Songs (Billboard)[18] 1
Transparent Soul:
UK Singles (OCC)[20] 28
US Billboard Hot 100[21] 76
US Hot Rock & Alternative Songs (Billboard)[22] 10
US Rock Airplay (Billboard)[23] Bite ME : "Bite Me" debuted at number 25 on the US Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles chart,[19] and peaked at number 13 on the US Hot Rock & Alternative Songs chart. "Bite Me" also debuted in the top ten on the US Billboard Rock Digital Songs chart at number 6, at number 22 on the US Digital Song Sales chart, and at number 12 on US Hot Alternative Songs chart.[20][21] In The United Kingdom,
also mind you the radio isn't everything, Spotify streams is pretty much king, also Travis Barker is dating Kim's sister and is constantly in the news + Lil Huddy Burger King commercials being played every 5 min

Besides "good 4 u" those songs don't reach the top 10 on the overall hit charts rather than the charts specifically for rock music. Maybe you have a point with streaming though.

A lot of you hate trap, and I get it. 6ix9ine and Lil Pump completely destroyed the perception of trap in 2017 and 2018.
But I'm gonna be real here, trap has produced some of the most soulful music in the past decade, looking past the 6ix9ine's and DaBaby's. Trap used to be a subgenre of Hip Hop, but now it's grown into own genre with it's own subgenres.
Melodic trap is the best thing going in the early 2020s music scene to me right now. Most of anything else doesn't excite me. It's a shame people on here want it to die, because a lot of it sounds fresh and characteristic to this era.
I'm guessing the people here who want it to die look on the charts and see songs like "Way 2 Sexy", which sounds no better than a 6ix9ine song from 2018 (I actually enjoy his music more than that song lol), and think that's what the scene sounds like now, when that's far from true and Drake is just out of touch.

I never said all music is soulless and there are music that is soulful today which disproves the notion that ALL music nowadays is soulless: However, this music is very rare. Even in the 20s which is a significant step up from the soulless void hellscape of the 10s most music still feels uninspired and processed. Just compare this at the tail end of the 00s: To this...:
