What song is our generation's Smells Like Teen Spirit?
Thrift Shop
There's been nothing that popular AND substantial in this generation
Something by taylor swift idk
Formation
>>64541806
this there's no one making music with as much spirit and talent as Kurt had today
There is none
Our generation doesn't care about music as much
>>64541970
There is. It's just that the music isn't popular or accessible
Any pop song

None of those accept Kanye and possible Kendrick (>inb4 cuck or p4k, there hasn't been any other artist as critically acclaimed AND commercially viable as these two in quite some time) none of those are as big or as well received as Nirvana was.
>>64542190
possibly Kanye but no way in hell Kendrick he's not at that level now or will be any time soon
>>64542190
Cause only black people can really like rap. Whites can't even sing along to them without having to whip themselves.
>>64541776
"Smells Like Teen Spirit" IS my generation's "Smells Like Teen Spirit."
>>64542225
See >>64542136
Kendrick fits the "hero" spot Cobain had way more than Kanye does.
>>64542136
this is actually really cool
>>64542286
But that doesn't change the fact he's not on a level of popularity compared to Nirvana and Kanye which is what I meant
>>64542225
I mean, he performed at the Grammys and was nominated for AOTY.

Literally all of his albums since and including GKMC have gone to #1.
>>64542344
Mispoke, GKMC got to number 2. Still, it and TPAB are both already platinum.
>>64542344
>>64542383
come on man his competition isn't even the most popular artist in his generation its J. Cole numbers wise
Don't get me wrong I like Kendrick but he's just not as popular as people think he is. Or at least the numbers don't reflect that.
>>64542344
#1 now isn't the same as #1 back then
>>64542461
I'll admit that maybe what you're saying is true, but on an anecdotal level (and yeah, I know this technically doesn't add anything to the argument) I've heard way more people talk about him than J. Cole irl. I've been to fucking boy scout camps where suburbanite white kids talked about how Kendrick is the only modern rapper who "talks about real shit", a place where I never expected to hear them even talk about his music.

>Or, more realistically, Viva la Vida.
I'm okay with this
>>64542344
Parents don't know who Kendrick Lamar is though. The next band or artist who is going to shake up culture like the Beatles or Nirvana did is gonna have to be doing something we can't even fathom until it happens.
>>64543374
stressed out will go away in a year, you're overestimating modern culture's ability, or lack there of, to hold on to things.
>>64543595
I hope so
That song is so goddamn popular though I think it's already made its mark

ive never heard of this Stressed out song until today
it seems like music is endlessly fracturing now, for as strongly segmented as it was when I was a kid-teen in the 00s all these internet waves/scenes that come, go and even stick around
its kind of overwhelming cause it me lost looking for songs that stand out as a cultural landmark that I share with everyone so I've started paying attention to mainstream pop and rap like kanye/drake and adele nowadays just so I feel like I know whats "going on" for a little while
>>64547410
I blame internet culture
But the music that will be considered "landmark" is the most popular shit like Stressed Out, Lemonade, etc.
>>64544563
I was going to meme this but I actually kind of agree
>>64541776
prob something hiphop
Maybe Souja boy - Superman? or whatever its called. Brought hip hop to mainstream and impact was pretty good on early generations.

There isn't any. Mindless pop consumerism has taken over and driven rock into the underground. The magic of Nirvana was that Kurt composed such hard-hitting rock tracks with such a magical pop sensibility. Back in 1992 "Smells Like Teen Spirit" was on constant rotation on every major popular radio station. Now all you have is shit that you can't tell from the other.
>>64543552
Not necessarily true. Kendrick is covered extensively on radio stations like NPR. My mom knows who Kendrick and Killer Mike are and has TPAB on her phone.
>>64541776
I mean, its guillotine. Right, its guillotine.

What lasting impact has Beyonce made? The answer is that they're isn't an answer at the moment.
>>64549925
I'm speaking generally.
>>64549821
At one point I'd say they honestly could have had the potential to be, but they're already irrelevant to anybody other than their die hard fans. People just don't care about them anymore.

>>64549887

>>64546853
fucking 10/10 band
Most likely Kendrick considering rap is the new rock and he's changing the genre
But there most likely won't be another Kurt because we can't recreate the same conditions
>>64555549
Nobody will care about the Beyonce album in two months.
>>64541776
did he actually say that or is that another b8. i literally laughed out loud that shit's cringeworthy
>>64556645
I've never heard this song before, it's it literally just millenials feeling old and wanting to infantilise themselves memery?
>>64541970
Nah, Micheal Larsen was pretty inspiring over his various genres. People make amazing music, it is just hard to make it big and still be free spirited.

Only accurate post ITT
Radicals - Tyler, The Creator is the closest thing to Smells Like Teens Spirit there is.
Probably Stressed Out or Hotline Bling
Both incredibly uninteresting. Something that is interesting about it is that I've seen a bunch of kids wearing Hotline Bling Shirts. Not a shirt of an album but a shirt of a single.
Really goes to show how the music industry is reverting back to singles instead of albums. Most likely because of MP3s.
>>64541970
any new music is easily better than kurt cobain, and that's not just because there's some great new music
are you guys fucking kidding me?? how has this not been posted once yet this is literally the song of us millenials

Cringe
Ideally, a slts would come out at the beginning of the decade, both these songs are middle of the road middle of the decade songs, not revolutionary. 21 pilots has more in common with blink 182 type stuff than nirvana.
The best comparison in this thread was Tyler the Creator, in that Yonkers was revolutionary and opened doors for many rappers, yet I dont know if that song had the mainstream relevance SLTS had. Maybe around 2021 we'll get something more easily identifiable with slts.

I figured that OP was talking about incredibly popular songs that the youth enjoy. Also, you're implying that I think anything positive of those two piles of trash.
>>64541984
probably too many other things to occupy their time with
super bass
>>64559352
UGH SERIOUSLY
how did they get to be in the back of this???
>>64557479
It's been the case for literally every other Beyonce album, as well as most albums released these days.
>>64557879
Except the fact that nobody other than Odd Future's niche audience cares about it
>>64561690
>niche audience
tyler's videos have millions of views
lol @ this guy
>>64541776
Unfortunately it's that kid cudi song. Uhhh what the fuck is it called.
Pursuit of happiness?
>>64562010
That's a niche audience still. Do you know how many people there are in the world? Fucking Pewdiepie has millions of views on the internet too, but if you asked random people on street who he is, they'll have no fucking clue.

Well, it was an ironic effort by cobain to make his version of of a radio rock song, but at the time nirvana was anything but the mainstream sound.

Truth, Axl Rose was a fan of Nirvana until Kurt Cobain started talking shit about him and pretty much saying they were a bunch of fags
