Music is getting worse

ok cherry picking niglet

I disagree that music is overall getting worse. There's actually a lot of great new music that has come out in recent years, but its just way different from the fare that the Jews are pushing on us.

I would even go as far to say that the top 40 music of the 2010s is actually better overall compared to that of the latter half of the 2000s, which can easily be said to be the nadir of pop music. That was when gutter-tier, low IQ, autotuned, crunk nigger-music was dominating the charts.

here you go buddy

There's good new stuff but I really prefer live instruments over samples and programmed stuff. The improvisation and synchronization that skilled jazz and rock musicians did in the past is so much more impressive.

80s pop was soulless as fuck. Don't kid yourself.

The 80s didn't have NEGO NEY!

bait

isn't it like the opposite though
literally anybody can record shit and show other people now, there are no barriers
more people are being discovered from the ground up rather than being promoted by the industry nowadays

Name one good artist from this year

shit thread but patrician ZR

This except it actually got better.

Care to post some good examples

>I listen to 80s music, it was peak soul
you gave the whole bait game away with this line

Name a better decade for music

90s

>90s

>N*gger music like rap, hip-hop starts becoming popular

Yeah naah

70s

That sounds like something from the late 90s, early 2000s

Not bad but not specially good either, forgettable.

its also oversaturation

90s was peak women

summer Yea Forums is terrible

musique concrète, for instance

why don't modern artists capitalize on this and just make new music in the style of old music? It seems fairly successful whenever it's pulled off

>80's weren't soulless
Fuck this 80's pop nostalgia shit, the whole sound just exudes urban bourgeoisie vapidity.

Noise shit,, blergh

all music is noise

Is Rin cosplay pic a trap? They don't even have the thigh-gap or hip width.

70’s>90’s>60’s>00’s>50’s>80’s

decades are meaningless and dont describe the paradigm shifts that bands went through
for instance, 71 to 73 was the glam rock era, 74 to 76 was the beginning of prog and when synths were the hot new toy, disco started in 76 and went up to 1979, while disco was happening, new wave was growing, after new wave came synthpop in 81 to 84, digital FM synthpop 85 to 88, classic rock revival in 87 to 90, all while hair metal ruled the mid 80s,punk slowly gaining traction all the while, then nirvana hit in 1994 with the offspring too
are you starting to see why the decade is meaningless?

Damn you’re stupid

is he wrong?

60s

Music decades are different than real decades. For instance the Jazz decade would be 1955-1965 while the Rock and Roll decade would be 1965-1975.

People on Yea Forums need to shut the fuck up and get over themselves. For all the pretentious bullshit that is spewed here, the stuff they shill is even worse. Indie albums bloated with 4-chord songs following the same old VVC/VVC decadent structure, nothing new, it's not even technically better. It just appeals to your tastes more.

So, objectively, the thing you should be asking yourself is why does modern art not appeal to your taste? Is there something that no one is saying? If so, go and say it for you own fucking self. Learn.

I see

die

You sound like a gigantic faggot.

>Cosplay fap bait OP pic
>Uses generic pop new wave as an example of "soulful" 80s music

This is bait right?

What is the significance of amateurs vs professionals though? I don't think you have to be a trained musician to make something that someone else can enjoy, and sometimes a song from an untrained musician can be novel and charming.

That's true, but try getting them to play any of the instruments (or sing) on the level of an Opeth song, or a Tool song. There is merit to simplicity, the reason why professionals are great is because they can also play the simple stuff and without them we wouldn't have the complex stuff

>today
>dude, music today's shit, music from the 80s had soul
>80s
>dude, music today's shit, music from the 60s had soul

>20s

>continue ad infinitum
go fuck yourself you boomerfag piece of shit
if anything streaming services made it easier for experimental and truly passionate artists to become noticeable without your shitty fucking record companies

I don't think your point has any merit. Keeping it simple isn't a trait of a trained musician. Its something musicians are always told, but an amateur could take a simpler approach just due to stylistic preference. While there are many, many traits of a trained musician, I think their ability to convey meaning and feeling through chord changes alone through harmonic function and articulation would be a much greater sign. I think where untrained musicians shine most prominently is in lyricism, something that wasn't expanded upon until every day people started to make their own music.

>feeling through chord changes alone through harmonic function and articulation

I wrote that without reading it. Through educated chord changes that are mostly based on harmonic function, as well as how individual notes and chords are articulated and spaced is how you can typically tell if the musician is trained or not.

>80s music, it was peak soul
Are you mentally handicapped?

>keeping it simple isn't a trait of a trained musician.
My point is that while an untrained musician can keep things simple elegantly so can a trained musician, all the while having the ability to write more complex music, therefore this is an advantage to them.
>I think their ability to convey meaning and feeling through chord changes alone through harmonic function and articulation would be a much greater sign [of professionalism]
I agree
> I think where untrained musicians shine most prominently is in lyricism, something that wasn't expanded upon until every day people started to make their own music
Again, I don't see why a trained musician wouldn't be able to meet or exceed the abilities of someone untrained when it comes to lyricism either.

Sauce

Well I think in the current day, an untrained musician is capable of creating complex music as well. The internet allows anyone to learn music, but being trained allows for context between concepts. An amateur seems to have a unique perspective on music creation, while typically a trained musician will avoid doing anything that's, "against the rules," unless they are intentionally doing it in an educated way (an easy example would be how Coltrane wrote Giant Steps). An untrained musician will go from a predominant to a tonic, unknowingly play something that is in a different time signature, or even play something chromatic unintentionally, like a sharp 3rd. They just tend to give a unique perspective is all. As far as lyricism goes, its a bit hard to explain my thought process there, but basically while an amateur likely has something to say (think a sad folk or country song), a trained musician is writing lyrics for the music. I'm obviously not saying trained musicians don't have anything to say, but an amateur singer songerwriter tends to be writing their song in a different vacuum if that makes sense.

That makes sense to me. I don't really have much to add other than I love learning more about music and it's a shame most people know so little. It makes it hard to talk about. Hell, I'm not even very articulate myself

Why the fuck are you on a music board then? Retard.

Well you’re wrong, but more importantly

thicc thighs save lives

not all noise is music

90s > 60s > Early 00s > 2010s > 80s > 70s > late 00s

Music can't get worse unless previously recorded music disappears.

Make your own fucking band then.No,I dont mean it in an hostile way.Im serious.A lot of people in this website are gifted with at the very least an odd or interesting taste compared to your average normie,and as an avid music listener,I would fucking love to hear what music people like you could make.Look at the song you posted,I dont know what other music you enjoy,but I do know that listening a mix between that and your embed video and whatever other stuff you like plus a spice of whatever your own personality and thoughts bring into the table.Music is fun,if you hate music then go make music,so there will be more music that you like.If you dont know how,then pick up guitar or bass guitar and find some friends,and listen to the music to you like a lot and understand why you like it
>oh yeah I like the samples in "It takes a nation of millions to hold us back"
>what If I were to combine that with a lyrical style akin to Tom waits and african rhytms.
>and the lyrics will be about that japanese girl I never talked to
see?go make music.This goes for anyone reading this,It doesnt matter how old you are ,or what your life experience is,or if you feel cool or not,or even if you can play something or sing,you can learn,go make music.
Its very fun

What is so great about 90s?

Best era for most genres of music and a huge breakthrough from the soulless, flaccid music of the 80s (Except US Hardcore Punk).

examples?

Anime thighs are where it's at niggas.

>Is there something that no one is saying? If so, go and say it for you own fucking self. Learn.

Well if it isn’t a gem in a shitpile

Stop listening to mainstream horseshit.

It took me only a few seconds to come up with excellent music from the 2010s. Theres way more where this came from, too.
