Why are all these 2000 era rock bands pumping out radio-friendly pop electronica now?

Holy shit I've not heard Jimmy Eat World since Futures.  They've always been on the border of pop and alternative, just toeing the line and letting their deeper cuts slip into the alternative and even progressive sound.  I didn't realize they still made music but if it combines the single sensibility they've always had plus the same mood I know them for, I need to catch up on their music.

I'm not gonna click on any of these, but the thumbnail on the Jonas Bros. one shows one of them playing an electric guitar. That's a good sign, at least.

It was a sad inevitability.

Gotta get paid, and if the labels say "do this" then they do it.

 

That's why I don't listen to most modern artists.

I don't remember any of these bands ever being not 'radio friendly'.

These artists were already straddling the line with pop-rock.

But whereas riding the pop-rock wave in the Aughts involved making edgy, emotional ballads like later Blink 182 or MCR, the pop-rock of the 2010's is definted by bands like The 1975 that infuse upbeat EDM into their repertoire.

I legit cannot stand the 1975... the music is meh and the singer is god awful... I loved the Black Parade era of MCR man that shit still slaps The Black Parade is Dead is seriously one of my favorite concert films ever
