What the hell happened to "Adult Contemporary" music?

When I was a kid around the early mid 00s, there was this whole sort of meta-genre of music, "Adult Contemporary" that was basically marketed at 2nd wave coffee shops and young boomers/gen x. Coffee shop music would be another name for it but I remember it being a big thing. Artists include:

• Nora Jones
• Coreen Bailey Rae
• James Blunt (maybe bad example)
• Damien Rice
• David Gray
• Paolo Nutini
• (Maybe) Jack Jones
• Alanis Morissette (Early)
• Vanessa Carlton (Kinda)
• Dido

Those are the ones that come to mind off the top of my head and are probably UK skewed. I think Laufey kinda carries the torch in a way these days, maybe the new Clairo stuff harks back to it. You could extend this to films such as Bridget Jones, Notting Hill and other sort of Richard Curtis fare.

Essentially music made for and marketed to primarily the 30-50yo demographic. Does it exist anymore? I feel like a big cultural folly these days is eternal teenagerdom. It's been well documented and lamented in this sub but I think there's something to be said for the fact that there just isn't any media or culture anymore that's distinctly "Adult" (though I say that with a pinch of salt).

You can see it in other things where you have the president and his financier acting like 13 year olds and shit posting but that's probably a larger conversation/digression.

Maybe it was pre modern internet and the fact that everyone now effectively exists in the same media landscape/spaces.
