"Monkey Wrench" is better than "Everlong".

Most popular music is simply terrible and the real gems are on YouTube and Bandcamp.

2000 was a bland year for music.

This is my opinion: the music you like is highly dependent on the year you were born. You grow up listening to a certain type of sound a develop a taste for it. I think your perception of music varies drastically based on your generation. This is often overlooked. Not all music today is trash. People who grew up in the early 20th century thought rock n roll was absolute garbage. Sometimes the people who say that sound old and out of touch to me tbh. On this forum opinions are very nuanced and insightful but in general older people trash on younger people’s music a lot.

On this forum opinions are very nuanced and insightful but in general older people trash on younger people’s music a lot. I agree actually. Part of the reason as to why rock is my favourite genre is because it was still hugely popular when I was a kid, its something I grew up with. I was 7 when "Guitar Hero" came out on the PS2 (which I owned), 8 when emo was at its peak in 2007. Band's such as Nickelback, Fall Out Boy, My Chemical Romance etc. were some of the biggest names in music and they were band's I grew up with. Even if I had of been born just 3-4 years later, my experience with the genre would have been totally different and I may not have gotten into it at all.

I'm honestly starting to strongly dislike "Blinding Lights". Not that it is per se a bad song, but because of everything else it represents. Not only is it played every 2 minutes on the radio to this day when it was released way back in 2019, but apparently everyone has annoyingly decided to christen it as a modern classic. To my ears, it sounds like a shameless rip-off of "Take On Me" with pseudo-poetic assertions thrown in for good measure, and the hockey production being nothing than a bland pastiche of everything wrong with synthwave music. Instead of a masterpiece, all I see is a perfect representation of the rut and lack-of-creativity popular music is currently stuck in. Which is a shame honestly, because TheWeeknd himself has put out some fairly creative material recently like "After Hours" (the song) which seems to have slipped under the radar.

Oh and the production being basically synthwave, aka the most boring of all internet genres, doesn't help it either.

"Happier" by Bastille & Marshmallow is pure garbage and Nickelback isn't that terrible.

Michael Jackson and Prince are overrated. I agree for Michael Jackson. I really think people obsess too much on his larger than life persona rather than the actual artist he was. IMO he's definitely more spectacle than substance, with only a few gems like "Billie Jean" and "Dirty Diana" that could be classified as geniune masterpieces. Disagree on Prince though. I really think he put some fantastic craft and talent into his work, and wasn't all about image. Hell, he revitalized the funk genre on his own and even popularized the oversexed popstar persona before even Madonna. "Happier" by Bastille & Marshmallow is pure garbage Holly hell do I agree. The super limb beats, the xanax-addicted singer and the faux-motivational message, it all comes together as obnoxiously faux-genuine crap.

I really dig Michael Jackson, although not necessarily for the music but for the dance choreography. So much of it was inspired by Broadway dance choreography and especially the actor and choreographer Bob Fosse. A lot of Jackson's talent was in bringing Fosse's style into the modern age. I look at Prince and just see some generic funk rock. And a homophobe.

Beyoncé isn't a "queen" like everyone says - she's just a mediocre manufactured pop singer, and her recent woke persona is nothing but an attempt by record label execs to cash in on currently fashionable ideology. It's especially telling when she's been accused of bleaching her skin, straightening and dyeing her hair to "look white" in the past but now has a song out about being proud of her African heritage. Also who the heck names their kid "Sir"?
