Zoomer music is horrific. It's civilizational collapse-tier. We didn't realize how good we had it in the 2010s, especially the mid-2010s. I used to talk shit on 2010s music. I fell for the Mark Fisher meme that music started losing a distinct sound and style in the 2000s-2010s. I recently revisited 2010s music. It's night-and-day from Zoomer music. Millennial optimism truly came through in 2010s music. It's so upbeat, catchy, and energetic. There's even a lot of optimism present. Music truly is at an all time low right now. This phenomenon isn't merely a desire for the past. Bars don't even play Zoomer music. Bars would rather keep Losing My Religion on loop than play Zoomer music. One set of lyrics I've been thinking about: I knew my rent was gon' be late about a week ago,I worked my ass off, but I still can't pay it, though,But I got just enough to get off in this club,Have me a good time, before my time is up. Millennials, despite living in a post-9/11 world of profound political and economic change, still found life in friends, relationships, and partying. These lyrics are hardly possible now, because Zoomers don't drink, they don't socialize, they don't go to the club, they don't go to the bar, and they don't socialize. There's no mischief to be had, because everything is subject to the panopticon. Zoomers literally think that crazy house parties never existed. This isn't a bash Zoomers thread. I'm sorry if you take it that way. It's just that your cultural expressions reflect the spirit of the times (despair). I'd like to apologize to, among others: >Maroon 5 >Rhianna >The Chain Smokers >Skrillex >Katy Perry >Justin Bieber >David Guetta >Macklemore** >The Lumineers >Nicki Minaj >Miley Cyrus>Justin Timberlake >Kesha>Flo Rida >Zedd>Paramore >Taio Cruz >Lorde >Calvin Harris >Jason Derulo >Mumford & Sons>Michael Buble >Clean Bandit 2010s, I APOLOGIZE. Reply with any other 2010s artists to whom you wish to issue an apology.
nope, to me 2010s was the start of music sucking, i thought my 20s would have a kino soundtrack, but then they decided rock was dead, and music critics got infected with the poptimist mind virusto me the 2020s have just been the same as the 2010s but somehow more bland, instead of rap topping the charts its pop country music and people like benson boon and sabrina carpenter.just complete ass music
>>130337829stuff like Sabrina Carpenter and Sombr is a massive improvement, like yeah it still sucks but at least the music has personality and doesn't feel like it was engineered in a lab specifically to blow up on tiktok or whatever
my boomer and xillenial friends told me this would happen to usthey thought music started sucking around the 2000s alreadythey warned me to not forget what kept me interested in new music or it would happen to me tooI didn't learn anything, and now it happened to me because I can't stand new musicI wonder if it is preventable
>>130337792Lorde is a zoomer
>>130337884Lorde turns 30 this year. 100% Millennial. Royals blew up in 2013.
>>130337954At its end.She is class of 2015, along with the rest of the first zoomers>Royals blew up in 2013.And? She did something very young.
>>130337792Everything you listed is squarely in the Gay - Pride Parade range of the Homosexual Scale. It's all shallow, obnoxious garbage for normalfags. And I say this as a zoomer who grew up when this shit was mainstream.
bump
I'm a Zoomer but I would like to apologize for hating on most of the Emo Revival and thinking mid tier revival rock was ruining everything. The new wave of Gen Z "underground" rap that came out after Carti's Whole Lotta Red like Che, 2slimey, Nettspend, Xaviersobased, Phresboyswag and Lazerdim700 made me throw all of that beef out of the window and reflect on everything.
>>130337871>Sombr>personalitydude
>>130337954I'm a Millennial and I'm turning 40. Lorde is a zoomer.
>>130337871sombr is an industry plant nepobaby jew
>>130340929She was born in 1996one year off
>>1303377922026 might be the worst year for music since the 1950s, I don't know of a single good album released yet, not even good rehash of anything great from the past. Music is so sterile and underwhelming now, and has been since the mid 2010s, it looks like a dead art form. At this point, once AI advances just a bit more in this field, it will mog anything done by humans, the 2020s will likely be the last decade in which human-made music was central. Honestly, I'm just rooting for AI now, it's obvious it will only be taking over a washed out entertainment form.
>>130341676Faggot
>>130341930It's sad but true, the only few decent albums left are indie. Even in the late 2000s/early 2010s there were popular bands releasing good albums, by the time the 20s rolled out, anything other than (t)rap/reggaeton/pop... became extremely niche and Internet based, the "culture" of albums got replaced by singles/ep. you'd think, given how easy it is to make music nowadays, there would be an explosion of talent, but nothing of that sort happened, only more crap burying anything still left.
>>130337792I was about to agree, but then you started listing those artists and I remembered how bad things actually were.
>>130337792BASED BASED BASEDEarly 2010s were greathttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rBDo1f-Pp9M
>>130342687The fact is that while you might think 2010s music was annoying, it at least required talent because we absolutely revolutionized sound design. Zoomers have created nothing, all they do is nostalgiafagging and making everything louder until its distorted.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q4qK4L5RXb0
>>130340736White boy eras ebb and flow. Garbage is always followed by kino.
>>130341624not really. 1996 is zoomer despite what your little reddit graph says.
>>130342507~2005 to ~2015 had some really great music, OP just listed a bunch of crap
>millenials are getting nostalgic for Maroon 5Man, hitting 40 and going bald really does something to a person.
>>130343014Honestly, they have some bops.
>>130342957OP listed all the good oneshttps://youtu.be/xyqQ4iT4IeU?si=jPjmnEmBZvG8jHCk
>>130343014I'm not, but even Maroon 5 is better than the garbage zoomers produce, the most musically incompetent/untalented generation since modern music came to be. Even the Silent Generation had a plethora of sounds : from Elvis, Barbra Streisand and Bob Dylan, to The Beatles, Aretha Franklin and Simon & Garfunkel, that will be remembered for generations to come, gen z won't have shit, their artists won't live even a decade after they shit out their disposable music.

>music is bad because I don't have a corporation telling me what to listen to anymore really pathetic admission there unc there is plenty of good music being made, you just aren't discovering it
>>130343767Yeah all the old bands from the early 2010s and late 00s are still good.

>>13033779210 years later:>Apologise to 2020s Music Thread
>>130337792All of this music is terrible and I’ll hate millennials for as long as I live for subjecting me to this garbage. I was a teenager in the 2010s and I hated it. Everything about it. The clothes, the cars, the music, the movies. It felt like the end of the world to me, that was the start of all of the worst impulses in people that carried over into the next decade. The death of the internet, public life, dating and the incessant worship of safety and forced morality. The lyrics you venerate came from a time of incredible comfort and security compared to what we have now. That’s the only reason why you’re looking back on this music fondly. Things are terrible now, yes, that’s one thing we can agree on. But things were BLEAK in the 2010s if we wanna talk about culture. All the best musical things from that decade carried over into this one and the absoluteworst got left behind. Bladee and Drain Gang carried over and Flo Rida is forgotten. Good. As far as the fall music journalism goes… I need you to stop and think if it was ever good back then. We still had Tiny Mixtapes but that was also the era of Ian Cohen and the Conde Nast era or Pitchfork. Melon still acknowledged that we made him what he is back then but did that ever turn into something worthwhile after? It led to a lot of boring copycats and melon himself became a huge faggot who kneeled to the mob. I think that things are very bleak and difficult right now but they’re not nearly as bad as the 2010s. I’d say they’re getting better. 2010s go fuck yourself. I will never like you as long as I live.
>>130341676Summer hasn’t even started stfu faggot.
>>130347272>wahhh i was born in le wrong generation wahhhh i love john bon jovi and acdc wahh im a faggot rockistwhy are guys always so miserable? have some fun and dance.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P5OC0jfZmpg
>>130346892The 2020s won't get "rehabilitated", 2010s were shit, they still are, but the 2020s are even worse, the only thing I'd apologize for, is for ever saying the 2010s would be the worst decade for music. But, while the 10s had the 20s to point to as even worse, the 20s won't have the same luck, since I'm pretty sure AI will have taken over by late 2030s, and given the fact it already is better than 20s music, it will only get even more so.
i know this pretty scene girl
>>130348305Yes I remember when my grandma used to talk about this music.Don’t let Alzheimers stop you from poasting real art next time geezer.https://youtu.be/8QUT4hpQbsw?si=Bul5TEcnq6DZcXW8
The 2010s was one of the better music decadesSure the 2020s suck but Civilization is kind of collapsing so it aint easy for good art to be made let alone impact the comatose population
>>130348428>7 years agolmao unc
>>1303416241996 is not a monolithic generational year. 1996 zoomers are those who did not go to school with 1995 borns.
>>130343750Sugar is easily the most euphonic of all the spammed Maroon 5 songs and least offensive. I defy you to name any of them which is preferable listening.
>>130337829This. 2010s was the start of music sucking, and then it all went to shit when my mommy left the room and i wasn't sure if she was ever coming back
>>130346819why didn't you post any?
>>130347272You have no perspective.Mid-millennials graduated into The Great Recession. You graduated into Gen Z Bosss And A Mini bullshit jobs economy.

still waiting for zoomers to come up with >THREE(3) GOOD TRACKS FROM THE ‘20sthe ultimate challenge continues. imagine boomers unable to name 3 good tracks in the ‘70s.
>>130350716>hip hop is "not music">anything made by trannies is automatically slop>any modern indie song will get the association with bands who actually astroturfed like GeeseI can name tons but It's a battle you can't win on this board.
>>130341676>At this point, once AI advances just a bit more in this field, it will mog anything done by humans,Gave yourself away there, Ranjeesh.
I MISS HIM
>>130341676>since the 1950snot true, the 50s had tons of great music. please don't assume Mitch Miller slop was the only thing out there.
>>130337792I apologize to all of these except for David Guetta and Mumford & Sons, who can still eat shit
>>130341676we're still recovering from the DEI era give it time
another example of zoomers getting mogged https://youtu.be/sxOaJ-N1EeM
>>130350759Trannies just copy the 2000s and 2010s yeah
>>130350856https://youtu.be/L0VmaJsPWbY?si=6FaHdnwhMb8MnX0r
That list reminded me of how terrible the 2010s were. At least now pop music is completely dead and culturally irrelevant so I'm not subjected to it any more.
