If want to see a culture in decline, look at its art. Can we talk about the degradation of art culture in the 2020s? These are the best rated albums by zoomers of the 2020s. What an embarrassment.
>caring about RYM ratings You shouldn't be posting on /mu/.
Only good album actually doing something unique up there is Injury Reserve
>>123840028I'm glad i live in a day and age, where i can easily find music from all over the world, from all periods of history.I haven't listen to any fo those albums, and the only artist i know is black country, new road...and that suits me fine.
>>123840028I agree, but you shouldn't be using a zoomer website to gauge anything. I'm here, you're here, we know this shit is trash and totally irrelevant outside of the zoomer sphere of influence. We also know that all of this shit will be forgotten sooner rather than later. Instead of discussing degradation we should be ignoring the shit and instead focus on identifying valuable art that's falling by the wayside.
>>123840028i guess the memes about rym are true. plenty of good albums have come out in the 2020s but i'd only include a couple of those rym picks on the list
>>123840028They are about as retarded as /mu/ core.All of you are idiotic, tasteless plebs who use music and these gay websites as some sort of pseudo identity. Guess what faggots, faceless anons aren't your friends and website culture doesn't exist in anonymous websites with extremely fluctuating user bases.I come here after 7-8 years and I see that this place has become an abject disaster, it's utterly inrecognizeable.Just seek out music alone on youtube or something, cuz you sure as shit ain't going to get any meaningful discussion on here anymore.
>>123840050>I can listen to music from anywhere, anytime... and I waste it by listening to the most boring """""indie""""" whitoid music of all timeGrim
>>123840028>1. Zoomers>2. Millennials>3. Millennial>4. Millennial>5. Millennials>6. Zoomers>7. Millennial>8. Millennials>9. Millennial>10. MillennialsNot our problem nigger
>>123840805Why are zoomers pushing the shittiest millennial musicians then?
>>123840185>zoomer websiteso you've ditched over a decade of RYM being a part of /mu/ just to feed your generational war bullshit.>we know this shit is trash and totally irrelevant outside of the zoomer sphere of influenceMost of these musicians are Millennials see below.>>123840805>We also know that all of this shit will be forgotten sooner rather than laterJust like The Hotlier, Moms Jeans, DIIV, Alvvays, Remo Drive, Destruction Unit, Spanish Love Songs, Soul Glo, Modern Baseball etc
>>123840882Same applies to pitchfork and fantano you literal nigger.
>>123840907Fantano is only popular because of zoomers, and Pitchfork only gave two of those albums BNM, and just today ignored BCNR on their best albums of the 2020s list.
>>123840028only 2 rock albums sad
Not a single 9/10 or above album there. Amazing. It's over.
>>123840970>even calling that shit rock
>>123840028Never listened to any of those albums feels good
>>123840929>Fantano is only popular because of zoomersstep back and look where we are standing. /mu/ brought Fantano out of the gutter.>>123841057>the decade is less than halfway through>OH MY GOD YOU GUYS IT'S SO OVER.
We just seem to have to lean on a few rock and hip hop records to keep up with a throughline narrative to pretend they're not mostly dead, it's whatever. Rock history was always really pretty insular and ignored a lot of what was going on in music, leaves us with this idea that certain music was the soundtrack to a time, but really the stuff we hold up is pretty niche and wasn't more important or relevant than other shit happening except to certain groups. Rock history has been so insular to white male youth and it's just a more varied demographic deciding what's important now. It's still mostly made up of young white males, but even they are more varied at this point. Imo that Big Thief record is classic, and it's representative of the dredges of a hopeful millennial era, a post god folk to bring us off of the internet and back to our physical humanity and with our feet on the ground. Sadly it's a record most people on this board don't get at all, because a woman is behind the heart of it, but it's testament to its importance that it lands a spot there at all.
I only know 1 artist of this listwhy are hipsters like this?
At least none of those are garbage troon furry shit zoomers love.
>>123841221JPEGMAFIA is
>>123841189I agree that Big Thief albums is the only record on that list that's actually great.
These are actual generation-defining albumsTaylor Swift - FolkloreBillie Eilish - When We All Fall Asleep Where Do We Go?Olivia Rodrigo - SourSZA- SOSSabrina Carpenter - Short n' SweetDoja Cat - Planet HerTravis Scott - UtopiaBad Bunny - Un Verano Sin TiLana del Rey - Norman Fucking Rockwell!The Weeknd - After HoursDua Lipa - Future NostalgiaChappell Roan - The Rise and Fall of a Midwest PrincessCharli XCX- BratHarry Style - Harry's HouseMitski - The Land Is Inhospitable and So Are WeAnd that doesn't mean they're good, they are utter garbage but it's what a lot of young people are actually listening to and it's the sound of the mainstream as we speak. Meanwhile, that RYM is still niche shit, no one outside from these online circles actually discuss Black Country, New Road or JPEGMAFIA.
>>123841057Has there been any 9/10 or above album this decade?
>>123841646I remember coming to /mu/ for the first time like 7 years ago feeling completely unaware with at least half of the artists being discussed on the catalog. this shit is a huge bubble and makes you out of touch with reality if you let yourself be alienated for too much time inside it. oh well, I guess 4chan as a whole is like this at any given subject.

>>123841953Anyone who starts talking like that should just get put on a train to a camp idgaf at this point
>>123841860Most of those artists are a waste of time, being lesser known doesn't make them any better. There are better places and things to do if you actually like music (pic related)
>>123841943lollmao
Why do ypipo, specifically gentrifiers, theater kids, and posers, like JPEGMAFIA so much?
>>123840028That Danny Brown album is a 7-8, about the only one. The Little Simz album wasn't horrible either, haven't listened to in awhile though. Some of you guys should try Scaring The Hoes, I think its really good.
>>123840028my opinion on the decline of society music and culture discourse presently on mu and in our hearts is basically that there are so many unemerged artists out there, people like us, our age, who grew up the same way, with hopes and dreams about what they wanna do with their life and with music, that haven't done them yet. basically what I'm saying is that the people who are supposed to make life and music better haven't done it yet. they've buried their hopes and dreams and we need their "light," as people say, to bring the culture back. it's almost like survivorship bias, the people whom success comes easy have already done it. the rest still need to get on it
>>123840047i love adan no kaze, and ichiko aoba.
>>123842341Do you guys wanna form a label or collective? There's a shit tons of us out here who are desperate.
>>123842246Lots of white hispanics outside of the US love this guy as well, it’s so sickening
>>123842341corporate america has crushed my individuality and reduced me to nothing more than customer service worker #336461
>>123842419how
>>123842476I'll probably make a discord or something. From there we can invite some anons, Start networking and support each other.
>>123842499Okay, I’m down
>>123842499send link sir
It's RYM so those are late 90s/early 00s millennials' equivalent of what they think is good music today. 2015 when TPAB came out and became the top album is the last time RYM had its finger close to the pulse of what's truly next level in music.
>>123842499>>123842546seconded, go ahead and make it
>>123842536>>123842546>>123842586Gimmie about an hour or two lads, out and about at the moment.
>>123842341I'm interested
>>123842722Meant for >>123842419Could be fun for all a chan originated label could accomplish
bump
>>123842005why does critical thinking freak zoomers the fuck out? its not good to be a retard bro
>>123842926Not that anon but the fact you can't acknowledge that you may be wrong shows dangerously low critical thinking skills on your end.
>>123842935uhh I may be wrong about what? that people shouldn't be put on a train to get gassed because they use big words? a bit much anon
>>123843028He said a camp, nothing about gas
>>123843028You're not wrong about that but if you we're the guy who posted the original paragraph that what I was aiming at.
>>123843053ya maybe he means take a train to science camp
>>123842621still around, Anon? I'm interested
>>123842536>>123842546>>123842586>>123842722>>123842766https://pastebin.com/cATKD92qhere it is guys, sorry for the wait
>>123843936yeah I am. It's taken me a while to be in a spot to start it.
>>123843945Anon delivered for once
caring about charts is a sign that you spend too much on rym and that you unhealthily care more about the opinion of others when it comes to music
>>123840028is anyone arguing our culture is improving
>>123844188Trans individuals probably
>>123840028Popular new stuff on rating websites always get overhyped. This is true for every media you can imagine, you have to wait years until the score gets closer to what a distanced observer would rate
>>123844137I think it's more baffling that grown men with shitty beards think this is the cutting edge of 2024. It's just sad.
>>123840028Everybody knows the best albums always remain outside the yearly top. Beth Gibbons and Ulcerate are arguably better than Magdalena Bay
