TBF there’s always been s**t music and there seems to be fewer ‘novelty’ songs than there were in the 70s (especially) and 80s. I’m old enough to remember when The Wombles and The Wurzles were number 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

felix Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 If music's a reflection on society, Nicki Minaj seems to be a fair reflection on where many of todays consumers are. Sadly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locky Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 I think, what happened to people is the bigger question. Pop music is tuned to the ears of the masses, and what they want or like, and sadly, they gain success out of it. I'm 26, yet even I notice stark differences in pop music from when I was growing up. My Spotify mix playlists are compiled of music from the 70's, 80's and 90's mainly. I like a lot of new Hip Hop, and occasionally come across the odd gem that's 'new', but even then, most of that new music, probably didn't chart. Always feel like I'm quite in tune with society and the modern world, but then my 6 year old daughter talks about a new toy she likes or a new singer she's listening to, and I am totally ****ing lost.

Cade Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 There is still plenty of great new music being produced. Music has never been more accessible thanks to the internet and artists no longer need to be signed to a record label to release their product to market. Chart music only tracks the whims of 12 year old girls, ignore it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackLadd Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 Listening to radio 2 since isolating, is okay, but a lot different to the 90s radio 2 when they played really tame stuff. Is a bit formatted mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fitzroy Pointon Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 Radio 6 is good for newer bands/acts. I wouldn't know of any newer bands if it wasn't for listening to that. Some good, some not so good. But they don't play Niki Minaj. A couple of more newer bands I like are Idles....

A singler who literally spends the entire time swearing and a guy who stands in front of (not behind) a laptop that has pre-programmed beats. I honestly don't know why that other guy is on the stage when he isn't actually performing. Next I was at Hyde Park for a gig and they were on the second stage somewhere while I was having a beer nearby and didn't sound any better. Last time I saw them support Stone Roses at Wembley (was down seeing Guns N Roses that weekend and my brother is a big Stone Roses fan).

dsk1210 Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 There is still decent music but it's hard to find nowadays. The charts are manufactured pish and Radio just plays all that vocoded garbage. The 60's, 70's,80'sand 90's produced a shit ton of classics that will be listened to for generations to come. There has hardly been any classics in the last 20 years that people will be listening to in the future generations. A sad lack of genuine talent.

Dawnrazor Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 While bands(?) like One Dimension, Atomic Kitten, Girls Aloud ect are not my sort of thing, they do get kids turned on the music at a young age to go then go on to listen to better stuff, that's a very important thing imo.

Probably a result of music ceasing to evolve any new genres or distinct sub-genres for many years. New genres tend to fuel interest and creativity. This has all stagnated. The last distinct new genres or sub-genres were probably Britpop and Manchester stuff. Pish as it all was.

After a wee chat they moved on to someone else and the guy said, "if she's playing the ps2 i might have an advantage" Presenter says: Why? have you been playing it more than her?

Debut 4 Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 Born 1974, I think it was always a thing to end up liking music before your time back in those days. I was 18 in 1992 and probably should’ve been more into Oasis and what was about then, but I wasn’t. I preferred Simple Minds, U2 and I started even looking further back as I got older and got into 70s stuff. Disco and funk too, it was all there in abundance. Selected 60s stuff, music ahead of it’s time. Imo, quality bands en masse started to die out in the 90s. Even pop groups who could provide memorable songs and lyrics. I liked the 90s for dance music, and don’t get me wrong, there was good guitar bands who’d produce a decent tune. But I always tended to look further back if I wanted to listen to a full album from a group. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
