I don't know if they are worrying about it as a whole, would need some sort of large study I guess. We do know that young people mostly don't worry about things like this, because they don't yet know they should.

Radio stuff from mumble rap to Eilish. I'm sure there is some melody behind the vocals, right? At some point the musicians have to play something. But it is often ambient, obscured, and difficult to discern without repeated listens. Unlike earlier styles where the melody is central and you are hit over the head with it, Yaz or Van Halen come to mind.
Probably all the good sounding pop music chord sequences have been claimed at this point after almost a century of never-ending copyright. Though it is just a guess of mine, would be an interesting project if someone had the time and knowledge to map it out.
