I don't know any decade that is worse than the 00's. Any of you think there are worse decades?

Let's see why the 00's suck.

a) Horrible music.
b) Too many remakes/uncreative in movies.
c) The 'slutty' attitude is in with girls.
d) Emo.
e) Bush.
f) Iraq.
g) 2007+ economy.

Well, there was that decade in the 13th or 14th Century where like a quarter of Europe died...

Yeah, that sort of sucked.

how about 1939-1944... I realize that's only half a decade but I'm sure Europe thought WWII sucked...

;D

I'm fairly certain the Jews definitely thought it sucked :(

And then that period from 1918 where 20 million people died from the Spanish Flu.

But yeah, I can see how this decade just sucks SO much more because of horrible music and fashion statements.  And I'm sure that the Great Depression has nothing on our piddling little Recession now.

I thought of a few more:

The Civil War
The Spanish Inquisition
That whole decade where the French cut off a bunch of heads
Whichever Crusade...
When the asteroids killed all them dinosaurs...
The Ice Age probably sucked

Already karma'd you for your "quarter of europe dies" post.

Don't take my thread too seriously. Of course there's worse decades than the 2000's.  8)

This thread is funny and I like it though!

glad you like it cuz we definitely didn't take it seriously  ;D

That's for sure.

But I don't take the music seriously either.

This thread was supposed to make people who absolutely hate this decade to realize that this isn't the first time that a decade was considered 'less than pleasant'. That there will be better times ahead and that things aren't as bad as you think they are.

When the decade began, people put expectations so high for this decade that when things turned bad, our liking of the decade went from 10 to 1. Lol.

I'm really concerned for the music though. Do you guys think that music will get better? IMO, music hasn't been good since 1998.

Now why is "c" a bad thing? (lol). I do agree with the rest of the list. I would also add:

h) Reality TV
i) Increase in stupidity/incompetence

If you think music was good in 1998, I think your senses are already muted  :P

Sorry, but I was only 10 or 11 at the time so my impression of music in 1998 was that music was good. It's kind of like those kids who are a fan of Miley Cyrus, what do they know of good music? They're blind because no one opened their mind.

Please, enlighten me!

I like any music from the 50's to the 90's. That's just my opinion, but I also like some songs and late 90's that are r n' b. What's wrong with that?

Hell, I'm not a Britney Spears fan and I actually hate her, but I like two of her songs 'Toxic' and 'Radar'. I have a huge variety of tastes.

That comment was actually meant to be funny.

Yea but everything was so "fun" and "innocent" during those times  ;D.  Not to mention that teenagers back then actually acted mature and seemed older than they do now!  Lol, I still do not understand why everyone thinks that the 00s are any less shallow or unique than any recent decade, but that's just me.

Well the late 60's things got better with "The Beatles" I think people say. Didn;t early to mid 60's music suck?

The 40's. They make me nauseated. Really, they do.

I agree, the first 5 years must've sucked bad! World War II? Millions of people dying. Shame, just shame.

Yeah, but think of all the great movies that came out of those years.  Always a bright side...

Nothing like the glamour of the 40's and 50's!

But then again, I love the technology of the late 90's and 2000+.  :D

a) No rap music.



This has to be a joke.  Rap music isn't music. Any decade in the history of this planet that didn't have rap music should consider itself so so lucky. I'd rather have diarhea than listen to rap music.

Some rap is good though.

Fair enough 8)

If you really look back on it, aside from the pop culture, the period from about 1966 to 1980/1981 sucked too.

- Vietnam War was far, far worse than the Afghanistan and Iraq Wars
- The energy crisis and gas shortages that occurred at various points in the 70s.
- The overall economic stagnancy of the period.  Adjusted for inflation, the DOW at the end of 1969 was about equal to that of 1960.  The DOW in 1979 was much lower than it was in 1970.  This also happened in the 00s.  Not to mention the crippling stagflation!
- Skyrocketing divorce rates compared to previous decades.  This is considered normal now though.
- Watergate and the subsequent resignation of Richard Nixon.
- The country was far more divided than it is now and this division often resulted in violence.  Look at pretty much the whole year of 1968 for a good example of this.  The second half of the 1960s in general was chock full of riots.
- The crime rate was actually far worse in the 70s than it is now.  Even the 80s had a worse crime rate than the 00s.  It was reported on much less than in today's media, but stats show the crime rate was much higher and that it declined starting in 1993.

To sum it all up: The second half of the 60s through the early 80s had some great pop culture, but in terms of world events, economy, etc., those years were absolutely terrible.

This has to be a joke.  Rap music isn't music. Any decade in the history of this planet that didn't have rap music should consider itself so so lucky. I'd rather have diarhea than listen to rap music.




I curse you with diarrhea rap music is good...its country music, opera, techno and hair metal that suck to high heaven

Some rap is good though.


There are a few select good rap songs, and by few, that's a very small percentage lol.  As Philip Eno would say:  "Whatever is pleasant to the ear"

If rap music ceased to exist, I wouldn't miss it.  I mean music about some guy popping a cap in some other guy's ass or slapping dem bitches up while popping a cap in some other guy's ass?  Whatever happened to songs about sunshines, rainbows and fuzzy bunnies? :D

Not all rap is like that! Listen to the early rap, from like the late 70's and 80's. It's almost all about dancing. Only after gangsta rap took over did it get all violent and misogynistic. The sad thing is, even that darker kind of rap started out as railing against the system, exposing the horrors of the ghetto, but eventually it lost that note of anger and began basically glorifying ghetto culture. I hate to say it, but I think rap may have gone mainstream when it switched to that glorification because white kids wanted to envelop themselves in the hipness of being an oppressed minority without having to be reminded of how they themselves were oppressing minorities.  ::) Even so, there have been - and continue to be - many rappers with intelligent lyrics. They just get drowned out by the sex-and-violence-obsessed idiots. (But doesn't that happen with every genre? Usually, only the stupidest, shallowest bands/artists become famous.) I would love for rap to stick around - musically and rhythmically, it's very innovative, and rappers were doing sampling long before file-sharing made it cool - but for the lyrical content to change. And some have suggested that Obama's presidency might make rap music as a whole happier and more positive.

I hate popular rap music as much as you do, but I grew up listening to Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince. (It seems to be like Will Smith was wholesome rap's last stand against the gangstas.) So I've got a special place in my heart for the genre, and I know that it doesn't have to be the way it is now.

I love rap and would cry if it was gone... then I would cap a bitch!  ;D

I like some rap along with r&b and pop music. Country is what I like the least but there's some that's ok.
