Any reason why some songs still sound like it could’ve come out this decade versus their contemparies? Immigrant Song comes to mind, even though it came out years before I was born, meanwhile anything Cyndi Lauper sounds like of its time. Or Adele versus say Christina Aguilera. Sabrina Carpenter’s songs already sounds dated and it hasn’t been a year.

I recognize that this is entirely subjective, but I suspect there’s something here. Any musical theory experts can chime in?
