Funny, just a day or two ago I created a post not too dissimilar, specifically regarding male singers. :-D But specifically regarding your observation, I think too many musicians have forgotten how to write happy music nowadays.

I hate the way they sing like they have a speech impediment… slurred

Not only speech impediment, but also a serious case of depression, often times, imho.

Honestly, the vocal style is what turns me off about a lot of modern pop music. Sounds like talk-singing in a "valley girl" accent. Add in autotune and trap/EDM beats, and you've got a recipe guaranteed to make me hit the skip button. I'm not against pop music in principle, but a lot of the stuff today doesn't sound good to me even on a superficial level.

But I'm clearly not the target demographic, and people have expressed similar sentiments about basically every pop music trend ever. So I'll just stick to my oldies and alt/indie stuff, and let others enjoy the modern sounds.

I just check out your post and I think the answer is because they wear dresses now.

Or... Maybe you're just searching for music with the depth of a bird bath and are sad that it's no longer in style.
