The Silent Gen: Marlene Dietrich
Boomers: Beatles
Gen X: Aretha & Barbra
Millennials: The BIG 5
Gen Z: ?? Aqua?
Gen alpha: ?????????????? Crazy Frog?

Lady Gaga for all of the above

Maybe not defined, but Hilary certainly raised a certain generation of Millennials with her music, TV, and movies

Guess it depends on Genre

You're confusing generation birth years with the years where they are mature enough to be defined by an artist. Gen Z largely have no idea what Aqua is, it's a millennial artist. You only got the Beatles correct

• Milennials (1981-1996): Céline Dion, Boyz II Men and Julio Iglesias

• Gen Z (1997-2012): Britney, JLo and Eminem

• Gen Alpha (2013-2024): Taylor Swift, Justin Bieber and Billie Eilish

ok i'll give this a serious go (nb: these are not personal endorsements of all of these artists' personal choices)

silent gen - cole porter (can i have a songwriter? it's much more the form back then i think), louis armstrong, billie holiday, fred astaire

boomers - elvis, little richard, frank sinatra, judy garland

gen x - the beatles, the stones, david bowie, diana ross, donna summer

millennials - madonna, michael jackson, prince, janet

gen z - beyoncé, britney, gaga, rihanna, kanye

gen alpha - taylor, lana, kendrick, drake, the weeknd

obvs i'll have missed something obvious but whatever

You all got them mixed up lmao. Those are birth years, not the years that the defining artist was supposed to be active!! Most of the answers are correct if scaled down by one generation.

britney defined the millenials

Taylor Swift beginning in 2008 and her role in defining the generation has only increased since .
