I'm not sure what you mean by "sound the same", but just by comparing a simple change from major to minor is quite a dramatic change:

Same thing with a more recent pop tune: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A9HZH_P_5qM

There's also a reason that in electronic music A minor is used significantly more: https://www.edmprod.com/beatport-analysis/

It probably has a lot to do with how well that key suits club speakers.
