I feel like all the music videos on youtube are so terrible this decade! like they are all just married couples making out (half homosexual?). and then the others are a rip off of other decades. and the most recent ones are just like closeups of the person's face while they try to look cute. idk!

honestly, there are bad videos in every decade lol, but today's videos . . . many seem to want to try to push the buttons too much that they come out trying too hard and at times phony. i do like they lyrical videos though. some lyrical videos are better than the actual music video. ^__^

Why do you hate the 10's so much?

music videos now are just awful. Some videos now have sexuality, It's all about women's boobs and butt, Whatever happened to good old friendly music videos that don't talk about the women's anatomy?

Just wait until 2017
It will be a change just like there was a change in 2017 just like there was a change in 2008.

just like The Kardashians, Miley Cyrus and other female actresses or singers today are doing more to get out there or push the envelope.

what change? ???

what change? ???
The date?

I'm seeing it more and more these days.  The younger generation doesn't know what good music is because they've never been exposed to it.  The state of music today is dominated by these kids that are told which way to piss.  It's the same with every generation before it has some kids who start bands and have producers and are told which way to piss.  It's the same for every generation.

I was saying the same thing in 1982-1983...when almost everything I was hearing in the top 40 was (to me) crap.  My parents were saying the same thing in the early 1970s, coz whatever I listened to, they called it crap. They called the Beatles "too noisy" and "They don't know how to sing", coz they listened to the crooners (Bing Crosby, Sinatra, Dean Martin etc..)
When I was very young, one of my friends grandfather said that Sinatra, Dean Martin weren't that good, the best music was from Tommy Dorsey, Duke Ellington and Benny Goodman, back in the 1930s.
I think every generation says that about music.

When I talk to seniors now, they usually tell me music has been getting progressively worse since Elvis, although they admit there are good songs here and there since then.

And we'll be saying the grunge folks couldn't sing compared to the synthpop duos.  And the dubstep fans will be say something when either acoustic music or when polyrhythms go out of vogue in favor of a single beat.  It's the circle of life...

I have changed the title to remove the word decade from it. All other content exists. I have not read any posts in this thread I don't really want to so if decadeology appears you will have to let me know. In the mean time feel free to discuss how you feel about current music videos rather than music videos of this decade...  (the boards are the 2010s so the fact that the videos you are discussing are from this decade is already implied...)

What's there to like, other than Ke$ha ?

I don't like a lot of music these days, period. It's beginning to sound so trite. Whenever I listen to Kiss FM, I mostly hear songs about clubbing, drinking, or general ratchetness; and since "ratchet" is pop culture's mot du jour, I've dubbed this particular period "The Ratchet Era."

When I was 25, Hair bands (Guns and roses, Bon Jovi, Whitesnake, Def Leppard, Motley Crue, Poison, Scorpions, etc..), were popular. They all sounded the same to me. And I didn't like any of them.

Tiffany, Rick Astley, Debbie Gibson ( 8-P) New Kids on the Block ( 8-P) were just starting out, and I thought they were just horrible. How can anyone listen to that?? I thought (cue some 25 or 30 year-olds who say the same thing about Bieber now)

So yeah, your pic makes a whole lot of sense to me!  ;D ;D

I know Celeste, it's kid's music, it's not the music us old folks grew up listening to.

good music is music from the 70's 80's and 1990. club, disco and funk, soul and classic R & B. That's my time.

I know Howard that's why I find myself gravitating more and more towards the radio stations that cater to older ears.  I know that I have a more mature musical palate than I did before.

I listen to internet radio stations, I can play what I want to listen to now.

Old folks? You are still very young. You are only 40!

I was just making a statement, I apologize for calling her "old", I mean the 1980's music.

Naw, it's all good. I doubt she was offended...I was just wondering why your called yourself "old folks"
It made me laugh actually, coz I wish I was 40, that's young.  (People born in the late 80s or 90s read that I just called someone who is "40" young. )  It's all relative.

Music is genuinely targeted at a much younger age though. People in their 20s are no longer a part of the core audience, let alone people in their late teens. Music seems to be targeted at 12-13 year olds. You might say this was true in the 98-01 era to a certain extent but at least then the music had better melodies and more variety.

Naw! I was never offended.  The Laughing emoticons should have been a first clue.  ;)

It's just like what folks used to say in the 80's about the music in that era, it was meant for the young folks.

Yeah but the 80s had music for adults to listen to.
30 somethings were listening to the music of the 80s and you can't say the same of today.

That is true.

I was in my 20s for most of the 80s, and there was stuff I liked, and stuff I couldn't stand. I knew people in their 30s (back then) who liked some 80s music, like Phil Collins, the Police, Moody Blues, Alan Parsons, The Stones, Pink Floyd, Joan Jett and a few others.
Other music (Duran Duran, wacko jacko,Madonna, New Kids on the block among others) were meant for a younger audience. I have never met anyone my age or older (In Canada) who liked those acts. Not yet at least.
