Who is the most overrated artist right now?

[MondayMoan31]

The Weeknd had a killer run with After Hours and Dawn FM, then went back to formula and suddenly everyone's calling him overrated. Bit harsh. Artists aren't obligated to keep pushing boundaries forever. Sometimes they find a sound that works and stick with it. Doesn't make the music bad, just... familiar.

Here's the uncomfortable truth: "overrated" usually just means "not for me" dressed up as objective criticism. Most of these artists are doing exactly what they set out to do - making music that connects with millions. That doesn't make them geniuses, but it doesn't make them frauds either. Sometimes a great song is just a great song, even if it's not reinventing the wheel.
