Singer‑songwriter Rabbi Shergill observed that songs from the 1990s and early 2000s tend to remain popular longer than newer releases.
Rabbi Shergill, the Indian singer‑songwriter known for his blend of folk and rock, told New England News that music produced in the 1990s and early 2000s enjoys a longer lifespan in listeners' playlists. He highlighted that many tracks from that era continue to receive airplay and streaming attention, outlasting many contemporary releases.
Shergill, whose own breakthrough came in the early 2000s with hits such as “Bulla” and “Tere Bin,” noted that the lyrical depth and melodic structures of that period contribute to its staying power. He suggested that the cultural context of the time, combined with limited digital saturation, helped songs embed more firmly in public memory.
