Hello pop music people. I have a general pop music question.

Pop music in the late 90s/early 00s sounded less 'produced'. That's probably not the correct word, but the songs sounded more sparse/less full in their musicality/complexity. Not the lyrics, but more specifically the mix surrounding it.

I've always wondered was that simply the stylistic choice at the time or was there a change in music production/technology that enabled pop music writ large to be more 'full' in its sound/mix?

e: It's also possible of course it's just anecdotal in the (many) songs I've heard throughout my life, but I feel like I've had enough of a sample size to see some sort of trend.
