Subject: Mainstream music is at an all time low!

Written By: Charmed17 on 10/07/17 at 6:19 pm

You have to admit it whether you believe it or not and at this point there really isn't anything other that interesting to talk about so we just might as well admit how bad mainstream is right now especially music and this isn't complaining cause someone's probably going to say don't listen to it then believe me I don't and in fact I haven't listened to mainstream music alot since about 2008-2009,but now I notice mainstream music is so bad my mom turned the radio on and after about 30 minutes I was like what has music/the radio come to I mean rap is freaking horrible to the  max.But yeah I know one of you guys gave me bad karma points for bashing this decade so much,but idc because this is a sight to voice opinion and I would say I'm bashing this decade I'm stating facts because this decade has become so annoying and absurd me and my family bomb the hell out of this decade the 1930s and 1940s so there still love this site though.

Well, I don't blame you man. I don't like much of this decade either. The only pop culture I like is the films, games and the music (except trap rap).

I wanna say though, I would like for you to discuss the nostalgia you have for the 90s and the 00s. I haven't seen you post your thoughts yet.

Then just listen to older songs. I’m sure you have a Spotify or something like that. You’re not forced to listen to today’s music if you don’t like it.

You can state your opinion, however one-dimensional, misinformed, and self-pitying it may be.

What people don't like is when you re-state this opinion over and over without adding any new insight.

The decade that gave us the Second Golden Age of Television (Breaking Bad, Game of Thrones, The Walking Dead, Mad Men, etc.)? The decade that gave us a boom of independent, DIY filmmaking? The decade that gave us incredible technology and an easier way to connect, serving both practical and informal purposes? The decade in which, thanks to the speed and reach of that technology, the ability to organize and politically active has given speed and legitimacy to social movements which would otherwise be struggling? The decade in which LGBT people have seen increased public acceptance and legal protection all over the developed world?

Yeah, but I guess there's been bland pop music and boring fashion choices, so apparently that writes off the whole thing.

You say that if I "paid attention" to the 2010s (which still has another ~26 months in it), I'd be disappointed. But I say that there's always something to be seen if you're looking closely enough.

I've heard the '50s described as the Golden Age of Television. I've heard the '60s described as it, too. I've never heard anyone describe the '90s as one.

And I'm certainly not alone in saying that the 2010s is a second "Golden Age." It's an opinion held by substantial numbers of cultural historians and television critics, bolstered by new forms of distribution (premium cable and streaming services), and the content available therein. It's not something I made up just because of how I feel—it's something somebody else made up because of how a lot or people feel :)

Also, exactly which shows do you believe are "slow, politically correct, and unrelatable?" For that matter, why should anything necessarily be "relatable?" Why should that be a requisite?

I always hear people say the 90s is the golden age for tv not the cheesy 10s and again the 60s who heck thinks that decade was a golden age for tv yeah the 60s were great but no golden age for tv like tv shows I watch from the 90s were amazing and tv needs to be relatable and not pc to be good in my opinion.i freaking fall asleep watching most of todays tv you want to know some good tv shows not from the 10s that are actually good that 70s show,freaks and geeks,northern exposure,boy meets world,senfeld,friends,Buffy the vampire Slayer,my so called life,power rangers inspace,Saturday morning cartoons,Beverly hills 90210 etc there's more but you get the point now those are really cool tv shows to me.

Once again, I can't have this discussion unless you define these terms and what they mean to you. Game of Thrones, for example, is not a "relatable" show, but no one could feasibly call it "PC."

I have no idea what this comment says, and at this point, I don't think it's going to explain your perspective any further. Your personal dislike of the 2010s has led you to create multiple threads claiming as such, asserting that your opinion is a "fact" or the "truth," and despite the fact that some of these beliefs are contrary to a wider consensus, you seem to ignore that dissenting views exist, rather than engage with them and discuss them.

I'm sorry, but I can't reasonably continue this conversation if that's the fundamental thesis it's based on.

I bring out the critical consensus because I happen to hold the funny belief that art is bettered when it's being discussed in a serious, professional capacity that inherently respects art's ability to exist and operate within society. But that's a discussion for another day. I don't feel like having it now.

Anyway, you're free to make as many posts as you want about how much you dislike the 2010s. But what I take issue with is the authoritative way you turn your opinions into self-professed facts. It delegitimizes what you're saying, and it makes it that much more unlikely that people will co-sign it, even if they were to agree.

If you don't hear anyone talking about at least one of these shows on at least a semi-regular basis, than you and I obviously hang out in very different social circles. Once again, you're taking your own perspective and projecting it as an objective reality that everyone can identify with.

There has actually been a bit more variety on the charts this year. I know EDM and trap still dominate, but these genres have also been represented:

* Pop-rock ("Malibu", "Younger Now"
* Latino-pop ("Despacito")

There's also a couple more, but I can't think of them right now. I remember I made a post about this a month or two ago, but I haven't been able to find it. :(

Music is 2017 is absolutely awful I would have to agree with that. And I thought last year was bad but it was better than this year at least. This probably the third or second worst year for music this year. Only 2012 and 2011 were worse, but honestly 2017 is very close to being the worst year of music this decade because it is not far off. Absolutely horrible music in all ways.  8-P

It is way worse than last year and last year was bad too but 2017 is worse.

I'm not saying there were zero good hits this year. There were a couple good ones. The problem is bad music overshadowed the good. This year was filled with really awful songs in the mainstream and they all charted very high. And most of the songs some of you like (like Unforgettable for example) I think is absolute trash.

That's pretty much how I feel about 2016.  Last year had a few gems but the bad overshadowed the good.  I think this year has been an improvement.  For those wanting rock to make a comeback, I think it is going to take a new genre that excites people.  Rock almost died after hair metal in the late '80s but grunge came in and saved the day and gave the genre another two decades in the mainstream.  Something like "Revolution Radio" by Green Day isn't going to spark a rock revival.

We complained that mainstream arts were at an all-time low when boy bands happened in the early 00s, when the emos started showing up, when electropop replaced emo and its derivatives, and now. Nothing is new under the sun.

I actually quite appreciate changes in pop culture, even if I don't like most of the music. In a few years, you'll wax nostalgic for it.

In my opinion, there is still some really good music out there, you just have to dig for it. I've never had much of an interest in the mainstream music. Most of it isn't very good, but there are still some good songs made to this day. People have always complained about the mainstream music. In 10 years, I guarantee people will be complaining about the mainstream, and saying how they want the 2010's back. It's an endless cycle.
Oh, and those 'facts' are merely your own opinions. Not everybody thinks today's music is bad.

In my opinion, there is still some really good music out there, you just have to dig for it. I've never had much of an interest in the mainstream music. Most of it isn't very good, but there are still some good songs made to this day. People have always complained about the mainstream music. In 10 years, I guarantee people will be complaining about the mainstream, and saying how they want the 2010's back. It's an endless cycle.
Oh, and those 'facts' are merely your own opinions. Not everybody thinks today's music is bad.

That's true.

You missed out on some great songs from 2008-09. But I agree with you about the music industry falling off. It's gotten so bad that even good underground music is becoming difficult to find, but that's the 2010s for you. Hopefully this stagnant culture of mediocrity with fizzle into something new and refreshing in the early '20s.

Mainstream music needs to take some inspiration from Future Funk. All Future Funk needs is just a slight push in making mainly original material. One of the only forms of EDM that I really like.

Future Funk is the more interesting side of the Disco Revival/Nu-Disco. I prefer Future funk as it actually keeps the funk elements intact. From what I hear from Nu-Disco artists they apparently removed the funk elements in Disco in favor of "lush synth sounds and melodies". And I'm like "Well then why the hell would you wanna make Disco without the funk?!"

All of these songs are from Skyler spence (aka Saint Pepsi) who is one of the guys who made future funk into a popular genre in the Vaporwave scene. Subscribe to the Artzie Music channel for nothing but Future Funk style tracks.

I personally think 2017 has been a really good year for music IMO. I’ve looked on the thread “2017: The year in music” and I listened to the songs that people put and literally almost every single one of them was catchy. It honestly makes me wonder how the 2020’s will be for music.

I agree.  The music in 2017 has been a bright spot in what otherwise has been a very dark year.

Future Funk was is a subgenre of Vaporwave that was created back in 2012. It's kind of like if the internet made its own kind of funk. Future Funk is similar to Disco House/Nu-Disco/French House in that the artists make songs that uses sounds from other songs as well as adding in some new sounds into the tracks.

Sadly funk is pretty much dead these days. A lot of funk and funk inspired genres aren't really played or listened to my the mainstream. Funk is dead. Funk inspired genres like Disco is dead. House is only funky when depending on the subgenre (Funky House for example....which has was only popular in the early-mid 00s) yet the only big house genres now are electro-house and progressive house which aren't funky, Nu-Disco has its funk replaced with "lush synth sounds", Hip Hop used to be funky, but when Gangsta Rap took over the funk was just sortof gone to me, New Jack Swing's mainstream popularity ended in late '92/early '93, I swear Soul lost its funk as over half the songs aren't even danceable and funky anymore.

Nowadays if I want to get some current funk music I have to look to Future Funk or listen to funk tracks by old artists. Current mainstream music isn't funky outside of a few artists like Bruno Mars.
