@MrVeesworld Michael Jackson for one is boring and generic as fuck. Metallica is okay, so are Scorpions and Van Halen. RHCP are so-so. Overall, nothing to write home about.
I don't like modern pop music either, but your arguments are so horrible that I don't know if I should bother elaborating at all. In ten years, another guy would be talking about how music from 90's and 00's was good, but music from 10's isn't.
There is a lot of crap, but there's still some stuff I enjoy. I've really been into R&B lately and a contemporary band I really, really like is Shinedown. The lead singer is the shit. A local pub plays retro Soul and also has a 50s music night which is awesome. The 90s was amazing and Alternative is my favourite genre I guess because it appeals to us gen xers. As a Canadian I'd like to apologize for Justin Bieber and Avril Lavigne.
New subscriber...I've seen watching this video for a long time constantly. I'm 21 and I'm upset that my teenage years were messed up with garbage music. The 90s were great but too young to really experience it...I hope one day, the magic of good music will come back in our lives.
wait wait wait wait. You're skimming the surface sir, there are bands, composers, and artist in this generation that are just as passionate (if not more) than a lot of the bands in the 80s and 90s together. Think of groups like Radiohead, Efterklang, MGMT, Fleet Foxes, Illinois, Nine Inch Nails, M83, James Blake, etc. You're missing the point of music, you have to find it. And don't kid yourself, there was plenty of crap music to be sifted through in every generation.
@yoyoman0 listen. In the 60s you had to get through all the stupid airheaded crap american bubblegum pop. In the 70s you had to get through all the crap overrated divas. In the 80s you had to get through the crap hair metal. In he 90s you had to get through all the crap nu metal, crap poser hip hop, and crap pop stars. In the 00s we had to get through crap trash "young money"-esque hip hop, and crap pop. The only difference with the decade were in now is we have to get through crap electronic.
@yoyoman0 which i may add, older artist are supportive of (jagger). So, my point is, music in this age doesn't suck, everyone has just decided to forget that this has happened before. Look harder. Don't whine, be a man, look for the art you love and stop believing in your bullshit instant gratification ideal
@yoyoman0 Whining? I grew up sweating and learning, playing and crafting my instrument. Listening to records and songs over and over to become a solid musician professionally. Now all you got to do is learn pro tools, garage band, 3 chors or a drum sample with some electronic noise lopps from REASON or some other software and sing or scream some abstract lyrics and get on Facebook, YT or MYspace and if you look like a poser or have sex appeal you become famous. YUCK!! All about money now huh?
@yoyoman0 The difference with todays mainstream in general is the arist are not ARTIST!! Kanye West? Gaga, Beiber, Beyonce? The thing is these new school artist don't and can't perform REAL music or songs themselves . Can they soing a song and make you cry or sit quiet and still because the words and song they WROTE moves you and tells a story you can relate too? Marvin Gay could, Lennon could, maybe Chris Cornell can but name me some people from today who have guts, heart, soul, and talent.
@yoyoman0 Yes crap was in the music back then of course. You must admit that there was not shortage of good and great timeless songs from past eras such as the 60's-80's and some of the 90's as well. The 2000's seems to lack the prolific edge of producing "classics." Radiohead and other bands are great but even they have gone back to cover some classic 70's songs as well as Smashing Pumpkins and even Amy Winehouse covering Motown hits from 40's years ago.
@yoyoman0 MGFMT and Ninch inNails are really good but I will say that they will not be played or even thought about in another 20 years the same that Hendrix, Elton John or some one hit wonders of yesteryear wiill be. Even Abba was considered cheesy back when but now are respected by even alternative bands like RHCP's Guitarist John Frusciante. Why is KISS still touring and selling out concerts in the 2010's? Cause they can!! Will MGMT or Fleet Foxes have an audience in 25 years time?
@MrVeesworld Oh my god are you serious? Are you not seeing the connection here? These generations are all the same, each generation has said that the next has no artist worth remembering and yet every one of them has come out the other end with a movement or a band that is artistically of their own and fantastic in their own right.
@yoyoman0 You may not realize it, but this generations John Lennon could be Thom Yorke, and this generations Nick Drake could have been Elliot Smith. Don't you see? both of them definitely have the ability to be remembered and there are still artist that have to sweat and work and cry to get where they need to be, and its because they are struggling to write something more interesting than the last generation.
@yoyoman0 oh and the reason Kiss is still touring is because gene simmons is a greedy bastard, not because of any kind of talent. And I'm offended that you think modern artist can't write music as moving as previous generations. "Lights in the Sky" by Nine Inch Nails, No Suprises by Radiohead, Wilhem Scream by James Blake, Limit to Your Love by Feist, many more.
@MrVeesworld You unfortunately don't understand that many electronic artists are classically trained musicians. I also don't like Lady Gaga's pop music, but she is also a classically trained musician. It's funny that you even make that argument, because I'm sure many of the 60's/70's/80's artist that you listen to aren't trained musicians either but just passionate kids with guitars. Don't be so bias.
im very passionate about music and todays music pisses me off. crap like that shouldnt be allowed on the airwaves! its a huge slap in the face to all the musicians with real talent ! i hate what the music business has become, just a giant advertising cesspool !
i agree with you 100%. but the kids these days will think their 1 hit wonders were the best because thats all they know. its sad is what it is! lates 70s / early 90s were the best. the best artist will stand the test of time. no one will know who ketty perry or lil wayne is 20 years from now, but music from the 70s/80s will always be around because that music moved people emotionally!
I am 18 and I totaly agree with all that you said. I am really a big 50s early sixties hepcat but I also love and cherish the 70s 80s and some 90s music. In fact I am a modern day greaser you might say. Yeah I've hear the sick nasty things they call music now. Its all so manufactured and it has no meaning to it whatsoever. Every song of the 2000s says just one thing and thats "Im a snotty rich completely untalented person being payed huge bucks to say dirty unclean lyrics in to a mic."
The music in the 1940s-Mid 1960s are the best ever. 80s music was good mostly for rock, 90s music was good only for Trance music (Trance was originated in the 90s). The only good type of music in the 2000s are only just Trance and it's sub-genres.
the 80's were known for the best music era in history!in all my 44 yrs of living,,i have never seen it so bad in my life,,there are so many that are saying this today!
i like music from the 60s , 70s , 80s, and early 90s in my opinion music started sucking after 1995 i do listen to some modern bands mostly underground
I will say this. i am a 90's baby, i was born 1989 thank you mom and dad!! :D anywhoo, i agree with alot of people that from late 40's 50's 60's 70's 80' 90's and early 2000's, was amazing music, ya some mainstream artists sucked, but others were amazing and captured the art of music! nowadays, i just can't relate to the garbage kids, and teens are into... pure shit!! nowadays, great music comes from the bottom and is rarely seen by major record labels. all they care about are sells and money :(
I agree 100%.As a music teacher, I have to learn anything that has been a hit. A huge majority of 'new songs' are just rehashed ideas or even blatant ripoffs(not to mention a huge amount of piss poor remakes) from great bands from the past. Not much originality these days. Back when RCA put out great records they had people like Chet Atkins for A&R....now you have the fat nephew of the label exec who needs a cushy job but basically just wants to get laid and could care less about the music
And you're also right that no one's going to want to go back to this era after it's over. Kind of like the early 1900's and 1910's, no one gives a fuck about them because they sucked ass. Every century starts off slow. Just wait until the 20's. It's gonna be like the 60's all over again.
First of all it's not the 2000's, it's the 2010's, but culturally it's still a lot like the 2000's so you have a point.
As for when music started sucking, I'd say about 1992 when Nirvana's Nevermind hit the top ten, that signaled the first decline in music because Grunge wasn't better than 80's Metal but it's still a godsend compared to what we have to today. But the blame goes back to Kurt Cobain and what he thought was attractive music.
I agree with you on so many levels that music was better back in the 70's, 80's and some of the 90's. What I mean by some of the 90's is that the boy bands ruined music, hip hop was better in the 90's with bone thugs-n-harmony, dr.dre and snoop dogg. rock was better in the 70's, 80's and 90's with metallica, zepplin, and alice in chains
Like everything else in this putrid culture, music has been dumbed down.
Listen to the arrangements of any 70's/early 80's hard rock/heavy metal/blues rock/folk rock /pop rock band and hear how so much more complex and elaborate it was compared to even 90's rock. Of course, most of the massive anthemic riffs were fueled by doses of "chemical enhancers" but the free-spirited ethic was what really fueled creativity.
In the past 10 years, "free-spirited" has become a dirty word. Too bad.
you're absolutely right man. I was born in the 90's so I grew up listening to great music from the 80's and 90's. then the 2000s came around, and I will admit, I loved all the early 2000s bands like Blink 182, Sum 41, and New Found Glory. but after that, when that stuff was no longer mainstream, popular music just started sucking. some might argue that Blink and Sum 41 suck, but at least they played instruments and wrote good, memorable songs. I can't listen to Kesha without feeling sick
@Seinfeld182 Damn well said. I like Blink 182 when they were new and also the Brit Pop groups like Blur and even the Vines etc. There are some decent acts out there but you really have to look for them . IN the 80's and 70's they found you not the other way around.
@erty200 Maybe if you knew what you were talking about. Back in our days, YOU DID NOT HAVE TO LOOK, it was right there in front of you, on the TV, on the radio, ON MTV and that same music is what everybody still craves for, get's sentimental about, and is making a big comeback in movies even today.
I'm 16 and like to listen to 80ies Music, Genesis and so on, of course the 70ies as well with Pink Floyd... Even nowadays there are great bands, eg Porcupine Tree...
What I hate : There is no difference between a Lady Gaga and a Kesha Song eg , same beat, same "lyrics" , music video with alot tits and all this , in the 80ies, every new song on radio sounded different. But now ? :-(
there;s still great music out there today you just have to look beyond the mainstream. bands like Protest The Hero, Mastodon, Animalas As Leaders etc.
Yeah being a teen in the early 90's was much betterr than teens today.
I feel sorry for teens today, not just music but how much they are sheltered and protected. you could not pull some of the stunts we did back in the day. today they would call the cops and put it on the news.
@SoulSurvivor3989 haha remember all the awesome cartoons and shows we had?? we didn't rely on gadgets and gizmos for entertainment... we went out, climbed trees, stayed up late playing street football, skating, well ok.. we had, board games, skip it :), candyland :), pogs!!, better music, better fashion, better economy, better attitudes.. man i miss my child hood and early teens great times and memories :..(
I'd say music started sucking in the year 2009. Anyone and everyone started getting "music" recording deals. Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, LMFAO, Kanye West's new stuff, this whole pop bullshit, Bruno Mars...I really hate 2009's music and above....
@NoFaceNowThatsAce on the contrary, more like after 2007, the mainstream music scene started declining from the onto now bro... and ya around 2009 that's when it realy started sucking!! i agree 100%!! music today isn't meaningful anymore..... every artist is in for the money, fame and fortune period!!
@re2fanXXheart Which artists did you see coming from 2007 that made you think that was the beginning? I say 2009 because that's when I really began listening to the radio on a daily basis and really saw how much complete b.s. makes it to the "top". I swear if I hear that LMFAO song again....I don't know what I'm going to do. And don't get me started and that little punk Justin Beiber. At least the crappy music years ago used to stay hidden or on places where it should be like Disney Channel.
I'm still listening to Pat Benatar 30 years later! My channel is devoted to her. Yes, music today totally sucks!!!!! Pat Benatar is still rocking it and so am I!
@ivegottaheadache amen sister amen.... im 22, but man.... the music scene is just pure garbage!! lil wayne is shit compared to 90's rap!! back then, rappers and hip hop artists told a story and wrote meaningful lyrics that some can relate to!! all he sings is... "o look at me! im ugly as hell but nobody cares cus i got cars am a sellout, with no talent" give me a break..... lil wayne, you will never be what you are without snoop dog, dr dre, or any of the 80's or 90's rap music..and you know it
I'm about as old as you and I agree 100%...music back in the 70's and 80's was awesome! Hell, even the 50's and 60's had some really great songs. To me music started going downhill somewhere around 1991-1992...about the same time that grunge nonsense took hold and it hasn't been the same since! Grunge music sucked then and it sucks now!
And if lame acts like Lady Gaga is what the future has to look forward to then we're screwed!!
i think its cause we have computers and we don't even have to try to make music anymore. My friend told me to talk into his ipod so i did and he autotuned it with that piece of junk. It sounded like normal music today even though i only said shut up.
I totally agree 100%. I don't even know how the "artists" of today ever got the chance to make a record they are so bad and lacking in any kind of substance. Apparently the music industry thinks that we are all idiots who have no taste. It seems like the only thing that has any value is looks and talent or legitimate singing ability is disregarded. I only listen to NPR or classical music in the car, I never tune in to the stations that play contemporary music since I know it will be all crap.
Yes I agree with you there. But during the 2000's there was one place where good music still existed, underground. among them is Celldweller, who fuses industrial rock with trance, drum & bass, alt. rock, dubstep, & occasionaly ambient. You should check him out.
Amen!! I agree 100%. I was born in 1990, and I was a child throughout the 90s. They had better music. I'm a black girl and I don't like the music that black folks are coming out with these days at all. Til' music gets better, I will listen to contemporary christian pop/rock/country music, Country, Indie music, old school rock, world music and stuff like that. Im afraid of what kind of music is gonna come out when I have kids. It may be a million times worst than todays music, which is really bad
I agree, I'm 16 and I love Led Zeppelin. Thats what I taught myself to sense I can't and couldn't when I started playing, afford lessons. I hope to one day put a band together as good as Zeppelin, but unfortunately no one in my age group want's to play the kind of music that I love. I guess I just have to keep lookin.
@PhysicalGraffiti10 Keep on looking and playing. When you get a little older you will find like minded players/musicians who will be on the same page as you.
I agree with you for the most part. The only 2000-songs I like are from bands that originated in the 70s, 80s, and 90s. Other than that, music has turned from an art-maker to a money-maker.
I think music started sucking around 13 years ago. I hate Young Jizzy and Lady Gaga. The 1970s is my favorite musical decade. Led Zeppelin, Stevie Wonder..etc.
@firemarshall007 You are absolutely correct. I think 1996 was the final year for good to great music. What happened in the following 4 years was the beginning of the end.
yes i admit music was way more better in the 70's 80's and 90's lol. i was born in the 90's, but i can only remember vague moments lol. but l omebody brinte old school music back, beats today's music anytime lol
@TheMeekgurl Yes I know. i am so waiting to hear the good music again. My Ipod has about 200 songs it and I think the newest song I have on it was from 2002?
@MrVeesworld the last cd i bought was probably back in 2003 that was it for me, all the music just started to go downhill from then on lol. it doesn't make much sense how bad music is today. it's like god just all of a sudden said ''well after the 90's are over, there will be no more real good music on this planet''. hopefully lol if that's true god will bring it back someday.
I agree, mkay I am a thrasher born in 94, i am a huge thrash metal, old school death metal and punk junkie. I love slayer, anthrax, violence, seupltura, iron maiden, judas priest, death angel. I love real rap, jedi mind tricks, gang starr, circle of tyrants, necro, ill bill, goretex, immortal technique.
Thanks for the response homes! I agree with you by the way, as you already probably know. I'm NOT even a 80's kid. Or even a 90's kid, I was born in 93 but technically I'm a 2000's kid and I hate this SHIT. Keep it up brudda
Not all music today sucks. Look beyond the mainstream. Appreciation for the classics is always good - I do it all the time - but let's do our part to support what they call the "underground" or the bands that, though quite known, aren't as well known as they really should be.
@TheCanadianPrairies I appreciate your input. I do give an ear to new and less on the radar bands and have been surprised by a few of the better known alt acts like XXX, Vertical Rhythm and Bloc Party who have an edge and actually make cool sounding music.
Exactly. I'm all up for loving the classic stuff - the stuff we know and love - but I believe that the good music of this era deserves all the support it can get. If the mainstream team isn't willing to do that, who will but the loyal fans of these bands whose only crime was that they didn't conform to the boring, redundant norm that we have in place at the moment. Good music is good music, regardless of era, and if we want to hear more of it, let's support it.
@TheCanadianPrairies I also have rediscovered classical music. I enjoyed it as a small boy (nutcracker sugar plumb ferries etc) and I look forward to a new era when music creativity makes a leap similar to what occured circa 1980-1987 and then again in 1991-1995 and if history proves me right , then we are about due by 2014, that is if we can get past 2012. (no joke)
Classical music is timeless - it never gets old. It's like the finest wine around. I have heard some people say that they wish for a new Kurt Cobain figure to rise up and spearhead the next musical revolution. I'd love to see such an event happen. It would be nice to see some variety in the mainstream again. Until this hypothetical event becomes reality, I'll support as much good music as I can, although I think the quest for it is never ending, to be honest. That's the fun of it.
I agree, I love older rock bands such as AC/DC, Led Zepplin, Queen, Bon Jovi, etc. & they've always been better than modern stuff, esp better than JB.
Man I can't agree with you more, I can look back on the 80's and 90's compared to today, and even the more raunchy stuff wasn't as over sexed as it is now... Even now I find myself listening to more RunDMC and Grandmaster Flash then ever before...
@wiseassgamer I know what you mean. i listen to very old stuff. Now more than ever, because today's music lacks substance. On my ipod I have acts like Missing Persons, Dio, Tribe Called Quest, The Fixx, NWA, P-Funk, Carly Simon, Falco and even The Carpenters. We had great choices back in the the day but now it's all the same sounding garbage.
Totally agree. The music today is all about materialism. Lately I find myself listening to 70s and 80s alot, Bon Jovi, Bruce Springsteen, Midge Ure, Bee Gees,etc.
Even Rap has gone downhill, It's all bitche's, hos and I get money. There's no deeper meaning in it. If you take Tupac there was some kind of messages in his songs but now there is Candy shop and kiss me thru the phone, really??
@MrVeesworld Cheers, man. But even Drake and Lil Wayne are going to be recognized as mistakes in years to come. The only person I can honestly say won't be frowned upon as much is Eminem, because he's got such a household name and worked so hard in his early career. Although most of his new stuff is also bullshit. Music is too commercial.
I also did a video on Rebecca Black, I didn't mention my favourite artists. But The Beatles, Madness, Led Zep, Michael Jackson, the Jackson Five. Despite being fifteen I can see that in the future, I will look back at Kanye West and see him as more of an idiot than I do now!
@justMILLERthatsall You are wise for your age if you can already see that in the future you will recognize Kanye and some of the other now popular artist as the crap they really were. You have good taste in the music from what you listed btw.
@MrVeesworld Radio don't promote good music nowadays.I'm so sick of this garbage,thats why I'm all for old school music.

i agree with you 100%. but the kids these days will think their 1 hit wonders were the best because thats all they know. its sad is what it is! lates 70s / early 90s were the best. the best artist will stand the test of time. no one will know who ketty perry or lil wayne is 20 years from now, but music from the 70s/80s will always be around because that music moved people emotionally!

I am 18 and I totaly agree with all that you said. I am really a big 50s early sixties hepcat but I also love and cherish the 70s 80s and some 90s music. In fact I am a modern day greaser you might say. Yeah I've hear the sick nasty things they call music now. Its all so manufactured and it has no meaning to it whatsoever. Every song of the 2000s says just one thing and thats "Im a snotty rich completely untalented person being payed huge bucks to say dirty unclean lyrics in to a mic."

The music in the 1940s-Mid 1960s are the best ever. 80s music was good mostly for rock, 90s music was good only for Trance music (Trance was originated in the 90s). The only good type of music in the 2000s are only just Trance and it's sub-genres.

re2fanXXheart 4 months ago
I agree 100%.As a music teacher, I have to learn anything that has been a hit. A huge majority of 'new songs' are just rehashed ideas or even blatant ripoffs(not to mention a huge amount of piss poor remakes) from great bands from the past. Not much originality these days. Back when RCA put out great records they had people like Chet Atkins for A&R....now you have the fat nephew of the label exec who needs a cushy job but basically just wants to get laid and could care less about the music

First of all it's not the 2000's, it's the 2010's, but culturally it's still a lot like the 2000's so you have a point.
As for when music started sucking, I'd say about 1992 when Nirvana's Nevermind hit the top ten, that signaled the first decline in music because Grunge wasn't better than 80's Metal but it's still a godsend compared to what we have to today. But the blame goes back to Kurt Cobain and what he thought was attractive music.

I agree with you on so many levels that music was better back in the 70's, 80's and some of the 90's. What I mean by some of the 90's is that the boy bands ruined music, hip hop was better in the 90's with bone thugs-n-harmony, dr.dre and snoop dogg. rock was better in the 70's, 80's and 90's with metallica, zepplin, and alice in chains

Like everything else in this putrid culture, music has been dumbed down.
Listen to the arrangements of any 70's/early 80's hard rock/heavy metal/blues rock/folk rock /pop rock band and hear how so much more complex and elaborate it was compared to even 90's rock. Of course, most of the massive anthemic riffs were fueled by doses of "chemical enhancers" but the free-spirited ethic was what really fueled creativity.
In the past 10 years, "free-spirited" has become a dirty word. Too bad.

I was born in the 90's so I grew up listening to great music from the 80's and 90's. then the 2000s came around, and I will admit, I loved all the early 2000s bands like Blink 182, Sum 41, and New Found Glory. but after that, when that stuff was no longer mainstream, popular music just started sucking. some might argue that Blink and Sum 41 suck, but at least they played instruments and wrote good, memorable songs. I can't listen to Kesha without feeling sick

Apparently the music industry thinks that we are all idiots who have no taste. It seems like the only thing that has any value is looks and talent or legitimate singing ability is disregarded.

Exactly. I'm all up for loving the classic stuff - the stuff we know and love - but I believe that the good music of this era deserves all the support it can get. If the mainstream team isn't willing to do that, who will but the loyal fans of these bands whose only crime was that they didn't conform to the boring, redundant norm that we have in place at the moment. Good music is good music, regardless of era, and if we want to hear more of it, let's support it.

@TheCanadianPrairies I also have rediscovered classical music. I enjoyed it as a small boy (nutcracker sugar plumb ferries etc) and I look forward to a new era when music creativity makes a leap similar to what occured circa 1980-1987 and then again in 1991-1995 and if history proves me right , then we are about due by 2014, that is if we can get past 2012.

Classical music is timeless - it never gets old. It's like the finest wine around.

It would be nice to see some variety in the mainstream again. Until this hypothetical event becomes reality, I'll support as much good music as I can, although I think the quest for it is never ending, to be honest. That's the fun of it.
