The 10 sounds of 2010s music

Rolling Stone tries to, partly at least, define the 2010s by specific sounds that emerged. Not that those sounds didn't exist before, it's just that in the last 10 years they got main roles. RS heard: whisper pop sounds (by Billie Eilish), sounds as lyrics in rap (Future, Young Thug), chorus devoid of human voice ('Uptown Funk'), electronic drum machine making it into country music, flute rap (Lizzo, obviously) etc.
