Worst decade for Music

[Aquarius1234]

What do you think was the worst decade if you had to choose ...
It's hard I'll go 90s bit mainly early 90s

80s. Or current music

90s

I hate all that crooning from the 50s.

How are people saying the 90's? Were you alive then? 90's gave us of loads of amazing music from different genres- britpop/indie, trance, house club classics, grunge, synth pop, and garage & nu metal towards the end. Basically all the stuff that's getting sampled in today's music. It was the best of times.

The last ten years. There are a few good songs but nothing to amount there was in the 70s, 80s and early 90s ...Shows my age doesn't it. Even the music before I was born 50s, 60s is better than the last ten years.

1340

Music has gone massively downhill since the 2000s. So I would go 2010s or current decade.

Probably the 1890s.
I'm not really a fan of Dvorak or Elgar.

Agree with this.

Current music is pretty much awful.

Current. Dreadful. Full of Billie eilish and dua lipa types - Yawn.
So, so boring.

2010s onwards, terrible. How can people say 90s? Indie rock was amazing!

Music has generally got shitter since 2014 in my opinion. It's never been worse than now.

Everyone sounds constipated and like they can't be arsed to actually pronounce the words...all slack jaws and vocal fry on overproduced electronic crap.

Current mainstream music is mainly awful. But if you look for smaller, indie labels or whatever, there's lots of good stuff. I listen to 6 radio and there's loads of good new music on there.

1910s. Too many songs with the word "whoops" in the title.

(It's a Blackadder reference if you're too young to get it!)

I agree with this as well. There are a few good tracks, but its not been great.

So true. 90's and early 00's were the best. 80's and most from last 20 years is awful

I think 90s were amazing. Huge rock scene, but also some defining rap albums (Illmatic, 36 chambers...) and of course dance / electronic music.

2010s have been pretty underwhelming. Mainstream rap has turned to absolute shite. Indie rock hardly exists anymore, only electronic music still does relatively well, some great producers out there.

Mid 1340s on? The Black Death was a downer, to be sure.

The 1890s is my favourite decade.

Mahler
Tchaikovsky
Puccini
Satie
Debussy
Grieg
Ravel
Brahms
Rachfuckingmaninoff!

Love me a bit of Dvorak. Rusalka? Chef's kiss.

Not so keen on Elgar though!

Early 2000's onwards has seen the absence of any real talent and good music which funny enough is when Taylor Swift started making records.

Yes, indeed, the lockdowns and social distancing made it impossible for musicians in the pre-digital era.

There was Hey Nonny No, though...that was a banger back in Medieval plague days?

It did bring us "Ring O' Ring O' Roses", though.

From about 2010s it started to go downhill. Before that we used to get massive albums that pretty much everyone had, huge sellers like
Jagged little pill
Definitely maybe
White ladder
Nevermind

I can't think of one artist in the last 15 years that's released an album like that. One that everyone had, even non fans, all ages. And, no, Taylor Swift does not count!

Or maybe I'm just getting old 😂
