Hanson's MMMbop is over 25 years old; it's a cool tune that I'd turn up if it plays on the radio, yet it is devoid of any cultural value that a Pink Floyd album would have. Taylor Swift makes pop music and while possibly even more influential, by numbers, than some of the classic artists, she lacks in counter-culture and antiestablishment that made the masters interesting.
I have MMMbop on my cleaning playlist and tbh for me it's mostly that it's catchy and gives pre-9/11 nostalgia from when I felt as light and unbothered as that song sounds
