The Weekend. Pop and R&B 

[vale9001]

I don't think there is a pure r'n'b act there is really a generation icon.

The weeknd and drake are the most near thing.

I also think we need to obliterate this “Gen Z” narrative. Like… the lines are blurred now. Chris Brown crossing over to younger people too proves age ain’t nothing but a number, especially with music.

an hit on tik tok where 90% of people don't even know who sings it doesn't make someone the "face" of a genre.

This is for Chris Brown and this is for Miguel.

 

The weeknd and Drake are the one with a "face" for the gen z. Are you saying they're not r'n'n enough...chris brown is getting viral for pop music too. 

 

I don't get why Frank ocean is in the survays too, when his second album came out the oldest in the gen z category were like teens. Who knows him in the Gen Z?.

Everyone knows who Chris Brown is

 

Sure Thing by Miguel was already a hit in the US 12 years ago, but ppl outside the US may be discovering it now because of Tik Tok 

[50thStateofMind]

100% millenial acts
 

Chris Brown

Frank Ocean

Miguel

The Weeknd

[ThisNihilist]

There's a few on there thats from last gen. Like The Weeknd, Miguel, and Frank Ocean. So I'll say Khalid

Edited March 20, 2023 by ThisNihilist

[Katamari]

It was THE Khalid but he fell off hard since the panini so it’s hard to say

 

Weeknd had the success though so it’s probably him

It really was, American Teen remains a Gen Z classic though 

 

He still hasnt released his 3rd album so maybe he's still waiting on a hit

i liked that one "never enough" song but everything after that has been crickets

 

its time for his thirst trap era i fear  

[fentypark]

chris brown and the weeknd getting named 

 

i’d say for me it’s a tossup between 6lack, khalid, and maybe brent faiyaz… but most of the R&B i listen to is older so… 

[Machete]

The Weeknd even though he hasn't put out an R&B album since his mainstream debut

[dabunique]

i would love to say my King but he hasn't released an album in 7 years and a single in three years

This is the case for the FBI because how did he just vanish from consciousness after 2019

 

OT: Probably Frank or The Weeknd, even though I feel like he’s more pop.

[EarStyle]

Probably still Chris Brown tbh 

[ImsoLOUD]

Purely speaking music, I believe it would be Chris Brown.

 

However, I think stats wise, it would be The Weeknd.

[Material Girl]

i guess the weeknd even though i'd consider him pop at this point 

 

my personal fave is frank ocean tho
