I notice a lot of people hate everything that is recent until it's not anymore.

"all music I don't like is bad and soulless!!!" "Only the music i listened to when I was young is good!!!" 🤡🤡🤡 Y'all sound like oldass boomers talking about 60s music Cope. I never said all music is soulless and there are music that is soulful today which disproves the notion that ALL music nowadays is soulless: However, this music is very rare. Even in the 20s which is a significant step up from the soulless void hellscape of the 10s most music still feels uninspired and processed. Just compare this at the tail end of the 00s: To this...: You literally just cherry picked a bunch of 00s songs you liked, many of which didn't even chart that high on the Billboard hot 100 Then cherry picked a bunch of 10s hit songs you didn't like As if there weren't crappy soulless songs in the late 00s Like you get to decide what makes a song "good" and what makes a song "soulless" you're the one circlejerking about how amazing and "soulful" the songs you personally like are and how everything else is bad lol

This thread is based on your opinion, not a fact. Not everyone thinks the same. People have been saying the same thing about the 2000s a decade ago and now they see it as cool and nostalgic. It’ll be the same thing with the 2010s.

There are objective reasons why I think 2010s music is soulless. One of which is because the production technology has become so advanced that it gives modern music a synthetic quality. Another being the swift, utter annihilation of rock music around the turn of the decade(2010) as john titor pointed out.

I'm so sick of the same old "electronic/computer music = soulless, real instruments = soul" argument. Look, synths and drum machines are as much of an instrument as guitars and drums. It takes the same amount of effort to craft a proper good production line on a computer than learn a chord on a guitar, it's not rocket science in either cases but you need creativity to properly stand out with both. And at least with electronic music you have a world of possibilities to create interesting sound scapes for pop music, while with "raw and real acoustic music" you can easily fall in the trappings of the I-V-vi-IV chord progression dirge with the limitations of the pop charts.

I disagree with this “every song post 2010 has no soulful meaning to it” statement. There’s plenty of songs with soul in the last 10 years. You mean to tell us that a song like “Laffy Taffy” (2005) has more “soul” than a song such as “Someone Like You” (2011).

Electronic music can be soulful if done right. 2010s EDM however is just complete ear cancer imo.

I agree that EDM got pretty bad in the late 10s (around the time "Closer" came out in late 2016), but early/mid 10s EDM is great IMO.

It doesn't feel very creative and could be a hit in any other decade.

They feel way too overly synthetic with weird production elements or blaring synths. I'm surprised you didn't link this:

Not 2010s music related, but have you heard the two songs from the 90s such as “Foolish Games” by Jewel and “Angel” by Sarah McLachlan? Both songs are piano driven ballad songs. You don’t think those two songs have meaning too?
