That was the peak of alternative music.
Most of the best music came out up to 2008 then the pop scene and mumble rap **** slowly killed everyone

[whitedoor]

2010s win chittest music decade in an absolute stomp

[Casca]

Right now. You kids are putting out some really crap chit and calling it music.

Get the fukc off my lawn!

[2am]

stupid question

amazing music is churned out every single year. you just have to look for it

[Casca]

I can agree with this, but it mostly goes un-noticed till years later.

[TokenV]

stupid question

amazing music is churned out every single year. you just have to look for it

and in which decade do you have to look the hardest for something decent...?

[phaginator]

Lol please post some amazing music from the last decade, I'm curious

[phaginator]

and in which decade do you have to look the hardest for something decent...?

Ayyyyy lmfao

Well, that's a good point, if you're not particularly involved with your preferred scene and consume music based on what's pushed to you.

In terms of charts and what's popular, 2010s is definitely chitty. But my hypothesis is that it's just what's prevalent. I reckon we will look back 20 years from now fondly, only remembering the good stuff. The 70s, 80s and 90s ALL had terrible songs filling the charts, but they don't have the staying power to last in the public consciousness beyond a few years.

Trying to convince you of this is pointless as our tastes are likely very different, but here are some examples of what I like:

Spoiler!

My point is, making blanket statements is stupid. There's an incomprehensible number of songs out there.

[Sinan09400]

Lady Gaga's prime.

Somehow everyone sucked. Noone listened to these crappy songs after a year

[NanoItaliano]

After 2013 EDM music started to decline

[A-GAME]

20 fukking 10

[jamalfudge]

You could merge the entire 2000s with the 2010s and nobody would notice. But had to pick 2010s because it's terrible now.

[phaginator]

One thing's for sure, the "pop"ular music was trash in the last decade

[muzzd]

If we’re talking about songs that appear on the radio, then 10’s for sure. And the 2020’s aren’t looking good boyos.

I don’t listen to that sh*t though so it doesn’t bother me too much

I'm not following you here brah

I'm not talking about "what's pushed" but about being invested in a scene or genre since these are clearly linked to a certain era

I will explain my ranking based on electronic music

- the 80's were the best imo with the synthpop sounds that were new and refreshing (Gary Numan, Yazoo, Depeche Mode, John Foxx, Ultravox, ...)

- then I put the 90's since House and Techno were peaking and even Eurodance and OG Hardcore were aight

- 00s saw the golden age of Trance (started late 90s though)

2010s electronic music is mainly EDM, Dubstep, ... just awful - OG electronic genres are virtually extinct so this is by far the hardest decade to find something decent

remaining are 60s and 70s where electronic music was still in an experimental fase so I base my choice between these 2 on Rock music and here I prefer the Psychedelic rock of the 60s over the 70s

even when looking at Rock music the 80s are GOAT with New Wave and Postpunk

[MatthewChav]

2010 to 2020 - no contest!!

There's plenty of good electronic music in the 2010s and to reduce a whole decade down to being "mainly EDM/dubstep" tells me you either haven't been exposed to or bothered looking for new sounds.

I too hate EDM and dubstep, but if you limit yourself to listening to that chit it's absolutely going to give off the wrong impression. Check out labels like Lobster Theramin, Trip, Peach Discs, Hessle Audio, Hemlock etc. They are all producing great tracks. 2010s saw a strong electro/techno resurgence and the club scene (I'm going off London here) reflects that.

The problem is, like you implied, creating novel genres becomes increasingly difficult as time passes, so production these days moves more towards making weird soundscapes and bending synths to try and create unheard sounds. Perhaps somewhat of an acquired taste.

I feel like you're reducing entire decades down to two or three subgenres and then claiming that they are representative of the era as a whole. It's quite lazy really, though I do appreciate you detailing your ranking and your opinion is fair enough

[Samraiwise]

Ever since I was born, never a single year passed without good music.

The first and the greatest was "a lullaby by my mother."



If you have a heart then True Music will always find it,

Luckily for us, not the other way around.

And when you grow old, the shape of the heart changes too.

So the music.

Anything after 1990 pretty much has blown some wet ass

[Ravishing_Rick]

20s = Jazz Golden Age
40s = Big Band
50s = Rock n Roll
60s = Motown, Bossa Nova, psychedelic
70s = Funk, Prog, Roots Reggae, Punk
80s = Rare Groove, quiet storm, New wave, New Romantics
90s = Golden Age hip hop, Dancehall, Neo Soul
00s = Grime, Indie
2010s = Trap, Vaporwave, Afrobeats

Sorry 30s

you did your research brah

God, i nearly put a phillips head screw driver when local radio stations played nothing but mumford and sons back in 2010

why do their music sound sped up?

That was the peak of alternative music.
Most of the best music came out up to 2008 then the pop scene and mumble rap **** slowly killed everyone

i thought late 90s was the peak

[1DDane]

2010s hands down
