It seems that most people here voting mid 10s were still in their toddler or preschool years during the mid 00s and probably don't remember much outside of pop music from that epoch, not to sound patronizing or anything, but I do think their judgement of the epoch is perhaps clouded. I personally don’t agree with this. If you’re a trap rap fan like me, then I could see why one would choose the mid 2010’s over mid 2000’s. I remember what songs were popular around my area in 2006 despite being only four. I also remember what songs were popular in 2016. I would honestly choose 2016 over 2006 in a heart beat. I’m also not really a fan of rock, and prefer hip-hop and trap. That’s just me though. At the end of the day, I guess it just comes down to personal preference. Although, I do understand the point Sf97 is making, to be honest. I think age can sometimes play a part in the type of music people like and don't like.

RockyMountainExtreme, I voted Mid 2010s and no, my judgement of the epoch is not clouded. I genuinely think the mid 2010s was a better time for music and this isn't a case of people misjudging a certain era, instead it's really just a case of you needing to understand that other people have different tastes in music than yourself, duh.

I'll agree that a lot of the pop music from the mid 00s epoch was garbage, but then again, pop music in general is usually the worst aspect of pretty much every epoch, with major exception being Michael Jackson. When it comes to music as a whole, Mid 00s is far better, it's not even a contest. Rock music was still mainstream in the Mid 00s, it was all underground in the Mid 10s. Also, the Mid 00s had a much stronger cultural identity within it's music. Say what you will about emo, but at least it made the 00s unique. To be honest, i'm not really a fan of most of the rock songs which were released during the Mid 2000s and rock is my favourite genre of music. For me, personally, the main reason why I prefer the Mid 2000s over the Mid 2010s, is because there was much more diversity on the Top-40 charts. The Mid 2010s were essentially dominated by EDM and trap. If you're not a fan of those genres, the Mid 2010s offer very little alternative in the mainstream.

However, I can also understand the point RockyMountainExtreme is trying to make. Age can play a role in the music someone does or doesn't like. I'll admit, I hardly have any memories of music prior to when I was 4 years old. I can remember when certain songs were popular in 2002, but I don't remember what the actual state of music was like at the time.

Yes! I agree with you! Apparently everyone who’s young and prefers the mid ‘10s has a clouded judgement.  I don’t like rock, I’ve listened to rock from the mid ‘00s, it sounds absolutely awful. The hip hop was bland and not really my cup of tea. I’m not a fan of the emo of the 2000’s at all. Give me 2014-2016 any day over 2004-2006.

I can remember when certain songs were popular in 2002, but I don't remember what the actual state of music was like at the time. The example that you gave was about your memories of the music, not necessarily if you like it or not. The only case where I can see age playing a factor in music taste is if a two-year-old or something likes music about the ABC's or something like that. My Gen X dad still like most of today's pop music even though he isn't really the target audience anymore. My 21-year-old sister was old enough to experience the mid-2000's, yet still listens to a lot of trap rap from today and likes it better than the mid-2000's. I honestly don't agree that much with age playing a factor, to be honest. You can still like the current music even if you aren't in the target audience. I guess if you're talking about growing up with what's on the billboards then sure, but even then you can still listen to songs on YouTube, Spotify, Soundcloud, etc. It may not be the same as actually growing up with that music when it was popular, but if you like the song then you like the song. It's just based on one's personal music taste. You can find songs from the 70s better than today even if you weren't alive then.

Another reason why the mid 2010s are better than the mid 2000s is because of rappers like Drake, Kendrick Lamar, and 21 savage, and A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie. They all released great songs from that era that I am in love with.

I love Drake's album "More Life" despite it coming out in 2017, but Drake's other album "What a time to be alive" from 2015 is great too. Here are some songs that I really like: {Spoiler}

My answer is the mid-00s because not only was there a lot of variety, the music scene was decent! I like some mid-10s music when it's EDM, indie, Non-trap Hip-Hop, etc., but the issue is that the mainstream wasn't diverse like I hoped to be. I honestly enjoyed the music of the mid-00s including the Snap/ringtone rap (I knew from the start it was awful though  ). There were variations of rock, R&B, Non-snap/ringtone Hip-Hop, Pop-Rock, Reggaeton, etc., and it was terrific!  It's not just age that plays a role, but so can your upbringing, ethnicity, and your nationality. There's proper documentation that Hip-Hop is mainly a Black American thing, and it's not that popular worldwide; however, R&B/Blues/Soul is more well known, and nearly everyone listens to that genre. In fact, There are black folks out there who despise Hip-Hop except for some songs due to the recurring themes. It's the same thing with Rock music. There are Caucasians who don't like it either and would rather listen to another genre. Oh, and I'm aware that there are not many black fans of Rock music, but there are people out there who DO listen to that genre, and I'm one of them. I heard to all types of music (yes, including country, but it was very little) as a kid to the point it helped me enjoy all of them without any bias involved. I found a video that I watched several years ago about a black girl who loved rock music, and she gave her reasons why. I'll link it down below.

I prefer the mid-2010s by a decent margin. I think 2004 wasn't too bad - there were a lot of terrible songs but there were many gems too. 2005 and 2006 though were huge stinkers. There were gems then too, but I liked the ones from 2004 more.
For the mid-2010s, I liked the pop radio through all the years, but 2013 and 2014 were especially good. Then there are a lot of indie and rock songs from 2014-2016 that I like too. 2014 was my favourite.

I like some mid-10s music when it's EDM, indie, Non-trap Hip-Hop, etc., but the issue is that the mainstream wasn't diverse like I hoped to be. I agree. Mind you, I personally find the Mid 2000s to only be marginally better than the Mid 2010s in terms of overall quality. Many of the pop songs from the Mid 2000s were generally too low-brow and childish for my liking, even as someone who was only 5-7 years old during the Mid 2000s. Yep. To be honest, one of the main reasons as to why I dislike hip-hop, is because of the themes which are present in a lot of hip-hop releases. Many hip-hop releases are all about having a lot of money, nice cars, expensive boats and a lot of women. I just find it to be really inauthentic and unnecessary. For me, personally, rock music is much more "down-to-earth" and genuine. It doesn't promote greed or treating women poorly. I also find a lot of hip-hop stars to be really superficial. In regards to ethnicity and nationality playing a part in the music someone does or doesn't like, I completely agree with the points you raised. For instance, Hip-hop has never been as popular in Australia as it is in the United States or even in the UK, to a certain extent, and that is primarily due to the different demographics of the country. Australia has always predominantly been a white, Anglo-Saxan society, despite the fact that it is very multicultural. Whereas, the United States is much more evenly distributed in terms of different ethnicity and nationalities.
