>>64801242
fuck u
>>
>>64801242
In popular music maybe
But this decade have seen many decent genres being created
>>
>>64801242
Pretty sure you mean the 90's desu
>>
>>64801242
I think you meant the 00s
>>
It's probably the most important decade to what modern music is today.
>>
>>64801901
this
>>
>>64801906
Nah, there was a huge shift away from rock and electronic/synth music toward hip hop and especially this weird new popular fetish with house/club music and that was all established during the 00's.
>>
>>64801972

90's*
>>
house and techno: 80s
hip hop: 80s
alt/indie rock: 80s
even emo emerged in that decade

All modern music was born in the 80s. Deal with it.
>>
>>64801972
house/club music started in the 80's though. same as hip hop (or atleast it got popular then), and electronic/synth music also became the norm in the 80's.

>that was all established during the 00's.
maybe but it started with the 80's.

It was the start of electronic music (I know there's stockhausen and musique concrete from before but the potential of electronic was only fully realized in the 80's and just started going forward since then).
>>
>>64801242
Everyone realizes that when they turn 8

Then you realize it was one of the best if you developed taste
>>
>>64801972
>Nah, there was a huge shift away from rock
Did you even pay attention to the mid/late 80s alternative rock movement? If Nirvana didn't get so big in the 90s and grunge didn't kill it then who knows what other great shit could have happened.
>>64802070
>>64801901
These, the more I think about it the more I realize that at least three fourths of the modern music I listen to is in some way a retread of what happened in the 80s. The 00s were the decade of literally nothing happening outside of really bland p4k core indie "rock" becoming the norm to like.
>>
really though it was shit
I mean aside from Talk Talk everything sounds terribly aged, which isn't the case for any other decade
>>
70's is pretty shit tho
>>
I think everyone here will agree that 2013 was the worst year for music in the last 16 years, t b h.
>>
>tfw you realize you don't like any music pre-1981
>>64802583
2014 was worse
>>
>>64802022
hip hop was born in the 70s
house was a continuation of disco, also 70s
indie was a continuation of punk, also 70s
idk what you mean by emo there but i bet it came from the banshees or something, also 70s
>>
>>64802547
nah, 70's is one of the best decades
>>
80s was the beginning of pop trash.

seriously i dont know how people actually unironically listened to shit like this

shut your whore mouth

2000s was the worst, everyone was too busy fucking around with the internet to make good music.

Kill yourself, pleb.
>>
>>64802608
>you don't like any music pre-1981
You can't seriously be that pleb, the 60s and 70s had tons of awesome music.
>>
On the surface the 80s look the worse, granted, it feels like an era of excess and not much us, silly make up, big hair etc.

But once you get passed that and listen to more 80s stuff you start to realise that 80s was a huge turning point in music and pop culture in general and has a huge wealth of interesting and important music.
Honestly, i think it's the greatest period in pop music, better than the 60s.

>>64802687
that was funky as all fuck.
>>
Desert Rock started in the 80s with Across the River and Yawning Man so it wasn't all bad.

Even the first Sons of Kyuss demo was from 89.
>>
>>64801901
This, the 00s were pretty shit. The vast majority of underground rock was a retread of stuff that was done in the 60s-80s and mainstream rock was post-grunge, pop punk, emo pop and other shit.
>>
00's are the worst, 10's are shaping up worse
>>
>>64803603
who?
>>
>>64803878
I want to say that the 10s are worse than the 00s but we still have 4 years for the 10s to redeem itself
>>
>>64803878
00s at least blog indie going on, which was not great but it felt like something new happening. This decade is completely devoid of ideas.
>>
>>64801242
Every single rock song from 80s was literally just stupid masterbatory bullshit about wanting to rock.

"i want to rock! (rock!) I want, to, rock!"
"Eeeyeyeye, want to rock n roll all niiiiiiight!"
"girls, rock your boiiiis!"
"It's a long way! To the top, if you want to rock n roooooll!"
"rock you like a hurricane!"


And people have to nerve to bitch about rap being retarded.
>>
>>64805563
80s mainstream rock was fucking terrible but 80s underground rock was incredible.
>>
Are you kidding me? Nah mate.
>>
All of the best angry music came out of the 80's.
>>
>>64801901
The 80s were just a worse version of the 00s though.
>>
>>64805808
What the fuck are you smoking? 80s underground rock music is far better than all 00s rock music.
>>
>>64802645
hip hop came from jazz music: 19th century to the 20th century
disco was a continuation from funk: 60s
punk was a continuation of garage and protopunk: 1960s

idk what you mean by blues but i bet it came from 21 pilots or something, also 2010s
you can do this with literally anything, what's important is when those genres actually developed
>>
ITT: people who have listened to less than 27,000 albums that think their opinion on music matters

>lol i only listened to the top 80s album listed on RYM i know my shit!! xDDDD
>>
>>64805887
No it wasn't, faggot. It was everything the 00s had to offer only less fulfilling and fleshed out.

this is both objective and correct

The 80s didn't have post grunge and nu metal, therefore it can't be the worst decade.
>>

One time someone told me on here that some company basically had a monopoly on all commercial and consumer synthesisers in the 80s and that explains why the "80s sound" is so empty yet also recognizeable

Man do you think those guys that were total cronies and wrote comp after comp for the church on command, ever got lime really sad and depressed when they were writing that stupid stuff


Also where can I find more composers that blend the art music tradition with folk and native tunes, all of that?? I listened to some of Dvorak and I loved the dam thing!!!!
>>
>>64807362
Nu Metal is anything but non-boring music, save for a selected few bands.
>>
>>64807389
my point was it's a lot less boring than most thrash.
>>
>>64801901
early 2000s pop was GOAT late 2000s was terrible

>>64803850
and the vast majority of underground rock this decade is a retread of stuff done in the past. In fact, most music in general has a fetish for the past.
>>
The rules are
decades before 1910 in decreasing order > decades after 1910 in increasing order

there's also smetana who writes that patriotic music. also chopin puts a lot of polish stuff in his music, listen to his mazurkas.

Actually its like this

1990 > 2000 > 2001 > 1940 and before decreasing in order > 1950 and after in increasing order
>>
>>64807499
But at least 50s had Doo Wop!!! I love that dang Doo Wop man me and my dad still cruise in his 58 Thunderbird listening to the crows, the Delta rhythm boys, all that good stuff man.

My dad can still do the twist!!!
>>
>>64807531
the teen angst boner against nu metal originated from encyclopedia metallum and teens wanting to 'be cool like the cool metal veterans at metallum'.

I dont get the hate for le wrong generation,
isn't current music, going to be the future le wrong generation?

>>64807585
the anti numetal thing existed since before 2002
>>
>>64801242
>he's from le right generation
you realize we live in an age where classical is non-existent except for conceptual pseud memes, right? and that pap musicians who are considered innovative are literally dude-weed-lmao-tier sound collage artists with limited understanding of structure let alone anything else?

music died at 9/11 2001
actually it started to die on this day,

oh wait.

if superman on 1985 decide to kill you on the year 2007 and on years 2002 he say he will kill you because you have a green tatoo and people with green tatoo should be killed

did you were killed at at the year 2007, 2002 or 1985

This decade has been awful so far. Easily a contender for worst decade in music.

hair metal was the buttrock of the 80s

But zen arcade, you're living all over me, and those two talk talk albums were released in the 80s

Artists are always progressing forward, cultivating new ideas and refining old ones. If you think the 2000's or 2010's were shit, then you simply haven't listened to enough music. Art, science, literature... it's all moving forward, and the plebeians who've grown too complacent with what they have will get left behind.
>>
>>64808596
>literature is moving forward

"no"
>>
>>64808654
If you don't, at the very least, think that poetry is moving forward then you're honestly hopeless.

You're overrated.

i'm sure you didn't give any examples of good contemporary art because you're one of those elitists who don't like 'spoonfeeding' the plebs
if you were to assume this stance for the benefit of further faggy b8ing, be advised that that is literally the tactic feminists use when they have no argument (i.e. le educate yourself meme)
