The music in 2018 was very bland and lacked in creativity. When I think of 2018 I think of almost all trap with some lame EDM hits here and there but super boring songs and bad quality music on the whole, it just really sucked. Does anyone else agree 2018 was the worst year for music of the 2010s?

2014 exists...

2018 was a great year for music and totally blew 2016 and 2017 out of the water. The year (particularly February to July) had some of the quirkiest, most creative and deliciously produced material to come out of 2010s pop.
There were some heavy stinkers, but so did practically all the years of the late 2010s and the great strongly outshined the bad in 2018.

Here are my favorite songs of the year:

I agree, 2018 was possibly the worst year in music for the 2010s. However I don't like much music that came out after 2015. On the other hand, there were some songs I liked in 2019 and 2020 has some promising songs so far.

Everyone had their opinions which is great. For me tho I didn’t pay much attention to pop culture in 2018 enough to really make a call on things. Pop culture was kind of boring and I remember I listened to a lot of 90’s/2000’s throwback that year a long with 2017.

I actually liked 2018, especially Dua Lipa and Ariana Grande's albums, and also Post Malone. I thought 2019 was the worst year for music, but a lot of good songs released that year were not heard until 2020.

The only good song that came out of 2018 was "Shallow", the Oscar winning song performed by American singer Lady Gaga and American actor and filmmaker Bradley Cooper., from the feature film A Star Is Born.

I never liked 2018's culture, and I was always thought it was the most boring year of the 2010s, especially with the trap-dominated music scene. There were some songs I liked such as "One Kiss", "Shallow", "SICKO MODE", "Breathin", "Boo'd Up", "Love Lies", "Youngblood", and "Nice for What", but I just find the year to be bland.

It was mediocre, there were some songs I liked, but also lots I hated...

AGREE AGREE AGREE! 2018 was absolutely the worst year for music in the 2010's. It was a very good year for me personally so i don't completely hate it but man, the music from that year was trash.

This came out in 2018, so the year couldn't have been that bad.

That album was extremely boring and mediocre.

Judging by the titles of the tracks on the album sounds depressing too.

Compared to Views? Sorry, but this was easily one of Drake's best, in all honesty.

Finally I found an inthe00s user with culture

2019 was worse... 2018, while it had a lot of bad songs, it also had great hits that year.

Trash like the others said lol

I LOVED hip hop that year, and I mean I'm gonna be honest, hip hop is the only genre I really pay attention to.

But, as someone who works in retail, the pop/EDM songs released that year sound terrible and are really annoying. Headache-inducing songs such as "Happier" by Marshmello and "The Middle" by Zedd are now burned into my brain thanks to my job lol.

Did you also have to endure "Girls Like You" by Maroon 5? I had to listen to it on the radio every single time I was in art class, and it was grating.

That song was awful

Listening to it on YouTube, damn this brings back so much memories of sorting packages at my job, they removed the Cardi B part in the radio version but it was still awful lol.

2018 was a unredeemable year music-wise. Horrible boring music from start to finish all throughout, worst year of the decade for music in my opinion. The year in general was also really boring and bland for pop culture. It's a year that should not be remembered, especially since it's the year the tide pod thing happened (sorry to remind people of that, but yeah that's how much 2018 sucked).

I feel this way too and I actually enjoyed 2018 in my personal life. Pop culturally I do think it was quite weak

The things that I enjoyed in 2018 were the memes, the Infinity War movie, some rap albums like TAI3OO and ASTROWORLD, and Super Smash Bros: Ultimate.

Pretty much everything else in pop culture was meh to abysmal that year.
