Music these days...

Every era has bad music. The reason old music seem better is because no one remembers the bad music from the 60s and the 70s; the 1% songs that are worth remembering are the ones that get air time on oldies/classic rock stations. And only about half of those are any good.

 

I for one, am getting more nostalgic about the music in the 90s, and I realized that's because I've forgotten almost all of it, and the hundred 90s songs or so that I play on rotation are all that I remember, so it seems like a golden era. "Oh, man! The 90s had Oasis, and the GooGoo Dolls, and No Doubt, Eminem was blowing up, and fuggin Nirvana, man! 90s music was so much better!" Sometimes I forget that the 90s also produced Aqua and Sisqo.

 

It's our job to weather the storm of modern bad music, and push the next generation to recognize good music moderns artists are putting out to ensure that the 99% of crappy music is gladly forgotten.

 

Music isn't getting worse, you're just getting to be more discerning. Make sure the next generation learns to do likewise, so they can look back on their Bieber fandom and think to themselves, "Why the hell was I listening to this tripe?"

That blessings song is just ok... like I said at least R&B and Hip Hop songs mostly have a decent beat...

Absolutely... there was some horrible music in the 80s and 90s...  like I said, not all modern music is bad.

 

Example:

Beyonce is bad, she needs to be quiet and just be hot.

 

Rihanna is good, she needs to keep going what she's doing...  :)

 

 

 

Dpantherman and I have these discussions quite a lot...

...really?

 

I would completely flip that statement around. Rihanna's voice is so bad you can literally hear the auto-tune struggling to correct it.

 

I mean I hear her trying to hold that note in "Stay" and the whole time I'm just thinking, "Nooo! That auto-tuner was just 1 week away from retirement!"

Music has hit an all time low. I can appreciate popular music from literally every decade over the past century except for this one.

Of course there are exceptions, but in general the music reflects the youth of today, and it isn't good news. Materialistic, shallow, entitled.

Yeah but I'm 18 and listen to everything. Hell I listen alot to frank Sinatra. I'm just going with a song that's popular now that I think is good. For me rap is all about the beat and not so much as lyrics. I just want a song that gets me pumped up like blessings. Drake has a good song that's old called marvins room. Really good. Top 5 song in 2000's. Good beat and lyrics are meaningful. Good for you after a break up

Rihanna isn't the best singer ever no... I don't disagree, but generally her music is entertaining... Beyonce's music to me is generally awful.

I'm the same way, my musical taste is varied...  I listen mostly to 90s rock, AiC, Deftones, STP, Sound Garden, etc...  I also like old school rap LL, Dre, Snoop, etc., 80s music, Pink Floyd and CCR, some older country (modern country sucks ass)... and everything in between...

That's a fuggin tragic statement. I can't believe that what was once literally the single most important aspect of the genre has taken a back seat to something that can be done by Skrillex. Go listen to the Marshall Mathers LP (it blows my mind that you were 2 years old when it came out), Illmatic, Minstrel Show, and College Dropout.

 

Like right now. Drop everything and go do it. 

 

My goodness. That's literally a "kids these day!" moment for me.

I love Stan and I've heard it. I've listened to most of that. I like gangsters paradise and tupac. Skrillex isn't my favorite but I feel like each song is good when you listen to it in the right mood. To get a crowd hyped up for a game. Yeah Skrillex would be chosen. Stan doesn't seem right there. But if you are feeling down Skrillex is the last thing I would listen to, I would listen to stan. If you catch my point

      The other draft picks have turned out pretty well. Brooks will too.

      I'm still not touching Hunter He again said the other day that he plans on playing both sides of the ball in the NFL.  If he is allowed to do that, he won't be as good on either side as his potential and he's going to have serious injury issues and have a short career.  If he's not allowed to do it, I think he's going to become a problem when the team isn't winning as he's going to feel him not being used on both sides of the ball is why. He's being coddled in that environment with Deion and I think it's doing a disservice to him to prepare him for life in the NFL where your coach isn't a 2nd father to you, to where you can just walk into his locker room and steal his shoes like Hunter does to Deion.

      Real Mid-Season Development at QB: Bo Nix

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      He’s a tad behind them. Around 15ish of 32 starters in the league. He’s well ahead of a lot of guys. Tua, Bryce, Cousins (present), Rodgers (current), Devito/Jones, Minshew, Russ (current), Watson, Smith, Carr, T Laws deep ball is weak as poo IMO, there’s plenty. And it’s not like everyone is ripping 60+ers. The key component is if you can rip and maintain velocity of the 30-40 yarders which he does super well. Legit every report out there from Brugler to PFF to PFN document him as good/above average arm strength.  Eye test tells me it’s pretty much that as well, slightly above average.
