Technicolor Posted July 6 Posted July 6 Equally. There are still a lot of good records that come every year 1
ariesgroove Posted July 6 Posted July 6 i like modern music more but i still greatly appreciate a lot of older music
Wicked Posted July 6 Posted July 6 59 minutes ago, PoisonedIvy said: I have always felt like an outlier for not doing this. I was a teenager for most of the 2010s and that music is probably the worst decade in music history to me. Rock, pop, country, hip hop.. all genres were just at a low point. R&B was pretty good between Frank Ocean, SZA, and The Weeknd but It still falls a little short of 90s - 00s R&B in my mind. My 2 favorite bands did debut in the 10s though (The Neighbourhood and The 1975) but they exist outside of genre constraints imo. I mostly agree with you but the 2010s was good for Hip Hop.
Jooj Posted July 6 Posted July 6 I personally think music peaked in the 90s and remained very strong up until the late 00s. That said, i listen to songs/albums from every decade equally. Great music has always existed, its really just a matter of whats mainstream and whats more left field.
oli more Posted July 6 Posted July 6 YES! I overall listen mostly to things released in the 80s and back. American mainstream music is extremely soulless and graceless as of right now.

I feel like the 90s & 00s are the definitive decades for hip hop in my eyes. You just can't beat Tupac, Biggie, Eminem, Dre, Snoop, Nas, Wayne, 50, OutKast/Andre/Big Boi, Missy, early Kanye, Lauryn, Kim, etc. I will give you Kendrick and Cole in the 10s (mostly Kendrick) and Take Care Drake. Lol Edited July 6 by PoisonedIvy
futuresuperstar2023 Posted July 6 Posted July 6 Music was definitely better back then in my opinion. Something changed after the 2000's. Music kinda feels soulless now compared to the past. I love old Music better but I love modern music as well since I'm a music freak.
Armani? Posted July 6 Posted July 6 My top 10 played songs of a year are usually new songs. But the bottom half is a array of old ****/classics lol
Trent W Posted July 6 Posted July 6 I like both, it's ignorant to ignore great current music I must say tho, that old music was better crafted and required more skill, so the result was better Also current music tends to go back to those times a lot 1

Lol 2010s had arguably Kanyes creative peak with MBDTF & Yeezus (polarizing opinion, but my favorite Ye albums). the Blog era mainstream kings (Kendrick, D*ake & Cole) and it's fringe Kings (Danny Brown, Vince Staples, Odd Future + their other affiliates) & Atlanta dominating the mainstream (Future, Migos, Rae Sremmurd). New subgenres gaining way (Chicagos Drill scene) & the sonic exploration of Trap beyond its original conception with Travis Scott and Playboi Carti. We also saw more women gaining prominence towards the latter half of the decade. Both Jay Z and Nas dropped albums to shape what the future for Hip Hop elders can look like, which led way for albums like Mr. Morale which are going to continue being groundbreaking projects. I do think the latter half of the decade was way too influenced by melodic rap and 'vibes' though. The 90s and 00s at least on the top end had more competent rapping. I'm not taking it over the 90s, but I think it was a good decade. I'm taking it over the 80s tho

I concede that the 10s overall were a good decade for the hip hop genre. I let the likes of Iggy, Cardi, and Macklemore winning best rap album at the Grammys cloud my judgment for a bit MBDTF, Yeezus, and even TLOP are definitely the more creative projects from Kanye, with MBDTF even being my personal favorite, but I think the bulk of his impact and influence comes from his 00s catalogue, the first 3 + 808s* are just so legendary. But I respect his early 10s catalogue, and he definitely pushed the boundaries of hip hop even more than he did in the 00s. So I can see your perspective there. * — which, in a roundabout way, reminds me of how much I love Cudi, ahh. Let me strihm. Edited July 6 by PoisonedIvy 1
Buffy Posted July 6 Posted July 6 Music in the 80s-early 00's had way more meaning and life in them. Music nowadays are totally soulless. 1 2
Capris Groove Posted July 6 Posted July 6 Yes. Up until the 2010s, and of course some stuff since then, but it pales in comparison. Like, are you kidding? The baseline, vocals, instrumentation, and production are a bonafire 10/10. 1
BGKC Posted July 6 Posted July 6 There's a lot more variety and access to music, so I do enjoy a lot more modern music in that sense, but it's not necessarily the mainstream stuff that I prefer. I much prefer older mainstream music. Mainstream pop music in particular hasn't tickled my brain the same since 2016. 2024 has been pretty solid so far, but I feel twinks are exaggerating it. Either that or I'm just becoming a 2000s obsessed hag.

I think us being more conscious of the 2010s makes us very critical of it cause we saw more of the whole picture, but the likes of Iggy will fall through the cracks like the similar garbage of decades past imo. Your original stance is valid in that sense tho, there was still trash ofc.
AvadaKedavra Posted July 6 Posted July 6 (edited) A mixture of both. I usually play the Pop classics of my childhood-teenhood (90s-2000s-2010s) and then i get bored and i play the new pop songs from this current year/this decade and make new memories with them In the last years i been really interested about the 90s-80s-70s-60s and 50s. Thats new. Been discovering so many bangerz from those decades and researching about them. So, nope i still enjoy Modern Music and the new albums from all my faves im 31 Edited July 6 by AvadaKedavra 1
Soda Pop Queen Posted July 6 Posted July 6 (edited) Depends. What do you consider "old" and what do you consider "modern"? Like, what year range? EDIT: okay lol I see where you said music pre-dating 2000 as old. I think mine is about even. I'm a milennial so I came of age in the 00s and am most familiar with that era. On the flipside, I have older parents who played almost nothing but 70s-90s music when I was growing up so I know a lot of that, especially of the Funk, Soul, R&B and Hip-Hop variety. I also still keep up with newer music. I am 32 and hope I never stop having an interest in discovering music, whether it be old or new. Edited July 6 by Soda Pop Queen
Vixen Eyes Posted July 6 Posted July 6 if songs from 1999 are considered "old music" than what the hell does that make songs from 1939-1960?
Batsy Armada Posted July 6 Posted July 6 I love old and modern music fairly equally. I wouldn't say that I love one more than the other; it all makes up my music library and largely defines who I am. Aside from classical compositions, the oldest music I actively listen to is jazz and rock from the 1950s. I really haven't listened to full-length albums from before the 1950s, none that I can recall right now anyway. But that's about how far I roughly go back, that's actually noteworthy, the 1950s. I love so much of what I've listened to from then just as much as I do what released just last week.
LikeaRebel Posted July 6 Posted July 6 Absolutely. Most of the music I listen to is from the 80s, 90s and 70s. 1
Sergi91 Posted July 6 Posted July 6 Yes. Lately I've been gettin into Julio Iglesias' discography. Currently came across this bop on TikTok Enrique could never pull this off.
