Is 2000-2009 the worst decade of music ever?
by far the best decade for access so if it is the worst maybe theres a connection.
now that its over and every last bit of hope is completely gone i really feel the magnitude of difference between it and 1980-1999 in particular.

I can't get into anything new within the boundaries of "normal" guitar-based music such as rock, metal, hardcore etc, but I can still appreciate releases from the bands that were doing it before the 21st century.
Meanwhile, electronic music is enjoying the best of times, and flourishing like never before.

you've been alive for what? Twenty years? Maybe listening to music for five of them? Just stop pretending like you've figured out the universe. Instead, relax and try buttoning your lip for once and allow history to unfold without the weak as fuck colour commentary....

The past decade was no different than any other decade. All decades have their share of diamonds and shit, musically speaking. It only seems like there's more shit because there are more bands/artists/etc now than ever before. Trouble is, you're just looking at the shit instead of the diamonds. There are more diamonds for everybody. You don't have to dig far to find them. Maybe you'll find some emeralds and rubies, too. And gold nuggets!

Worst decade? No. But, the ease of making a bedroom Myspace band sure does fog the vision into giving the sense that it may have been the worst decade.

1) I had given up hope on the decade in question a while before it was over. Am I old enough to have experienced tons of other decades first hand? No. I don't give a shit. 2000-'09 was utter shite.
2) It wasn't actually utter shite. There were some good albums that came out. But almost every single one of them were by a band formed prior to 2000. I have actually had several conversations about this with people, and I cannot think of one band I like that wasn't formed before 2000, except maybe TV on the Radio (though I'm kind of over them) Bon Iver ( and while For Emma... was great, it wasn't exactly earth-shattering). There is no new blood that is good blood. Not like I have done anything to contribute, but my generation has seriously disappointed me. I guess I could say something like "my generation's so fucked up that art has become trite and meaningless," but that would be affording them/us a level of fucked up that we don't deserve. Fuck my generation/fuck me.
And yes, I do think that there is a connection with the availability/internet aspect of music.

I'd say that the last decade was the worst as far as pop music goes.

this kind of attitude is just a laughable version of "back in my day". you're not a kid anymore, you're not filled with youthful exuberance, you're not as enthusiastic about new things, your wife doesn't give you that little wink every now and then anymore. just keep clinging to your precious treasures from the the glory days of music that were the 80s and 90s ? fuck, shut up.

Re: Is 2000-2009 the worst decade of music ever?
hey man, i was genuinely looking for it!!! I don't consider myself a pessimist in general. But nothing ever came up. I am 28, so anything that came out before 2000 I generally don't consider my generation. All of the people making music in my youth that I loved were at least 10 years older than me.
Seriously, any recommendations are more than welcome, metal or otherwise (though I really don't listen to much metal anymore).

you have no idea how much it angers me to hear kids from major cities complain about how there's nothing to do where they live. they never had to grow up in a town of 3500, they don't fucking knowcaptain wrote:Yeah, its a possibility, but until I see evidence otherwise, I consider my generation foe'dYou Killed Jesus wrote:the time equivalent of the "my town sucks" syndrome

Re: Is 2000-2009 the worst decade of music ever?
it's a retarded, selfish attitude that every era of music shares. there are a ton of incredible albums that came out in the last decade dude, just like every decade. as more people have more access to easier to use recording equipment and fucking any and everybody can put out "art", but that doesn't mean there aren't still genuinely talented and inspired musicians out there making awesome art.captain wrote:hey man, i was genuinely looking for it!!!

this. every decade has bad music. and every decade has good music. dig deeper and put some effort into it.Toxicarius wrote:The past decade was no different than any other decade.
