How did the "relationship" with 80's music in the 1990's differ from our current perspective on music from the 00's? It seems like 80's music was already provoking strong nostalgia by the 90's, while 00's music hasn't done much of that for us today.

Basia Trzetrzelewska, aka "Basia".

popular music of the 20th century has always been dominated by the leading pleasurable trend of this century: nostalgia and the desire to return to a better age. this is of course a result of selective memory, something that afflicts almost everybody.

so the 60's folk tradition was born out of a nostalgia for the folk and blues of the 30s and 40s, while the rock tradition was borne from the blues, rockabilly and country music of the 50s.

basically everyone's continually staring backwards. don't think this is something that only applies to music though, in the age of mass-consumption of the arts (including film and literature for instance) and ease of access (remember that prior to the 20th century "owning" music didn't exist) gives way to a larger audience (by comparison, if anything) and thereby to the tastes and habits (and sometimes bad habits) of said audience.

What? If anything the 60's people wanted to seprate themselves from the past and create new things. The nostalgia frenzy started in the 80's with films like "Back to the Future"

Part of this phenomena is the result of people actually having great childhoods, simpler times, fond memories, listening to mom and dad's tunes on the radio in the car as you drive down the coast in summer time to go visit grandma and grampy with your dog Patch next to you on the seat.

Grass greener

People grow up, stess etc, relationships etc. think back to their formative years and they draw influence from somewhere in their childhood and it taps in to a sound people love but can't pinpoint why.

Similarly, "pop music" basically begins in the mid-60's as far as current awareness is concerned.

And that has actually been true for decades at this point.

People in the 80's really weren't listening to 40's music, but they were listening to 60's music.

Well, the corresponding time-gap today would be 1970's music in place of the 40's music, but 70's music is very much still around. It is nowhere NEAR as alienated from popular culture as 40's music had become by the 80's, or even by the 60's.

The 80s was a very forward-thinking, technology-driven decade where the idea of strumming folk songs with a guitar was seen as quaint and outdated.

This is wrong.

Take a look at social media and you'll see the kids who are 18-22 now are constantly romanticising the hallmarks of their childhood. That being noughties R&B/hip hop/pop, noughties film, noughties cartoons/anime, PS2 games and shit.

The nostalgia is actually just as strong, but you wouldn't know it if you spent all your days on /mu/.

i sort of see what you're trying to say, when i get nostalgic for the 2000s it rarely has to do with the music at the time
>>
>>64366636
actually completely disregard this post as i just remembered how nostalgic i get when i hear kanye west's first 2 albums

>>64363909
Only for a short period of time, really. Roots rock was already a movement by 1967.

23 here.
Assuming you're around my age, do these songs really do nothing for you in any way?
