Does the music of this decade suck?

[Lightning Strykez!]

You guys do know he's been around since 2003 right?

Yeah...but I'll admit that I slept on him the first go-round. It was his collabo with Pharrell that woke me up. Then I went retroactive.

 

[Speedball]

You seen his wife?

She's Claire from Deja Vu.
You know who his father is, right?

No. Who?

 

[Speedball]

I really like his first song, "When I get you alone"

 

[Speedball]

No. Who?

Alan Thicke AKA Jason Seaver from Growing Pains.

 

[ultimatefan]

The White Stripes, The Raconteurs, Muse and Franz Ferdinand are pretty much the only modern music I listen to.

You know who I can't stand, The View. God, I ****ing hate them.

I like Franz Ferdinand.

The one thing that never changes from one generation to another is the older generation goes, "back then it was all better"... Of course it was all better when you were younger... I myself don´t have that feeling, in my teenage I was a fat smelly kid with big glasses, I hated everything about those years, so I have zero feelings of nostalgia...t:

^That's Alan Thicke. He's MUCH cooler.

 

[GoldenAgeHero]

I love how people are dogging Backstreet Boys, N' Sync, BBMak, LFO, Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, Mandy Moore, Jessica Simpson, and 98 Degrees.

Most of y'all loved it back then.
Only now can you "say" that you hated it....

Spoiler

The funny thing is that I remember most of all of their songs, word for word.

BBmack,LFO and 98 degrees all sucked ass.

*sigh of relief*

Yeah, he's cooler. I hate Sagat.

 

[The Man Of 16]

Listen up folks. This is the real reason why music nowadays sucks.

In the last decade, we have all adopted the "settle for less" attitude because perfection has now been considered WRONG. Ex. hot chicks, being rich.
In previous decades, the media was a very hit-driven society. Meaning nothing would sell unless it was a hit. But now that quality-standard has been eroded with this "settle for less" attitude. The result is bland homogenization of music, and what's more bland and full of "settle for less/its ok to be yourself" attitude than emo music.

 

[Memphis Slim]

The 70's were the golden era of music, in all forms. It's all about money now.

Yep.....record companies don't give their artists time to actually "compose" music anymore. Takes too long to create a melody that didn't exist before. I remember when it took EWF or Stevie Wonder 2 years between albums because they were writing new lyrics and melodies. No sampling. That's why that Pharrell and others like him make so much money. Pre-packaged beats on a computer slapped together.

That stupid song called "Yeah" by Usher is a perfect example. The same insipid computer riff over and over and over. No changes in the middle ...no bridge....

Im not a listener of today`s music,but i can say this.There has been nothing new,music now is a combination or variation from music in the 1990-80`s.

How can you tell us that 'today's music' offers nothing new if you don't listen to it?

I will agree that a great deal of modern mainstream music is terrible, but to say that 'today's music' sucks is just stupidity. You may have to dig deeper than in past decades, but there is still good new music out there. Go check out artists like Sufjan Stevens, Modest Mouse, Arcade Fire, and Blue Scholars for some very good non mainstream stuff.

 

[The Man Of 16]

Yeah man, Modest Mouse and The Arcade Fire. That's where the scene is at.

Same with Broken Social Scene and The Shins.

 

[Tangled Web]

There's some good music in this decade:
The Shins
The Bravery
The White Stripes
The Feeling
The Strokes
Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Franz Ferdinand
Modest Mouse
Coldplay
The Sounds

Add The Killers and it's over. And Modest Mouse, Franz Ferdinand and Coldplay all suck.

I weep for the music world my children will grow up in.

 

[Kritish]

I listined to a song from modest mouse once, my eyes and anus bled for a week.

 

[Darthphere]

You know people ask this question every decade.

 

[The Chairman]

You know people ask this question every decade.

Yeah, but in those decades it was mostly older people who didn't like young people. The young people in this generation are even critical their music scene, which says a lot compared to other generations.

 

[Mr. Credible]

this decase has some great music, you just have to know where to look. it's really no better or worse than previous decades. sure, mtv and the radio stations shove that overplayed crap down out throats, but that's not the only music out there.
