Pop Music Is All So Repetitive These Days

"Pop music is all so repetitive these days."
"Hey Jude" (1968) repeated the same line with the same tune for longer than many modern pop songs even run. And nobody got bored with it.
Also the fade out (where they literally just repeat the same few lines over and over again) has become less popular.
And "Some Nights" by fun. (2012) never said the same line more than 3 times. It only repeated its chorus once and the chorus was half as long as we expected it to be.
And using multiple different chord progressions during one song is becoming more popular.
It might be more accurate to say "Pop music isn't repetitive like it was back in my day!"

In this version, Hawkeye becomes the main character, and b ecause of their traumatic experiences involving Stark, Wanda and Lame Quicksilver are still villains. Tony is rewritten as an obvious villain, giving us 4 major villains:  Tony, Wanda, Lame Quicksilver, and Ultron, ...
