youmakemewannabeabetterman Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 agree... "sexy" music is a lot different back then, now it's too vulgar. Quote Link to comment

gyros Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 even my two kids (24 and 16) have the 80's and 90's on their iPod....they prefer their parent's music Quote Link to comment
swynd Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 It's a nostalgic bias. I agree that there's a lot of trash these days, but then, volume of music is a lot more too, with corresponds to a relative increase in the bad stuff, so it's not as easy to make a sweeping generalization. The baby boomers will frown at 80's and 90's music and espouse their 60's-70's. But is it equal? I think there's a decline in good music, and by good music, I mean real artistic music, music that strives to really inspire, innovate and the like.. but that's on mainstream channels. The spirit of good music is alive, but less so on mainstream, what with songs being "engineered" to be hits these days. If you consider non-mainstream channels, I'm not quite sure it's all in a spiraling decline into death. It could be just that you don't hear them on the radio as much. Quote Link to comment
filibustero Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Today's music is garbage lyrics are too shallow,80's and 90's are better do you agree? Perhaps you can list down a few "better" songs from the 80's and 90's so that we can have a benchmark on what is "non-garbage lyrics"? I agree that those eras produced a lot of good music, but I can also think of music from the 70's or the 2000's that are just as equally good. Each era has its own fair share of epic music I guess.

ricardo23 Posted March 19, 2014 Author Share Posted March 19, 2014 Non garbage lyrics is lyrics that have deeper impact on the listener, i know there are some good music ,but compared to 80's or 90's it has no match, but its just my opinion and each has their own taste And in todays music is like a fad, uso lang ngayun,pero wla n nakininig pag di na uso Quote Link to comment
tk421 Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Music appreciation is relative to the times. I think it's fine. 80s and 90s music just elicit feelings of nostalgia for us because we're just getting old and cranky. I'm sure our parents (who were growing up in the 40s-60's) were equally disturbed by 80's and 90's music then. Quote Link to comment
muttley Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Today's music have no durability. At first, they sound OK. But after a few weeks, sawa na ako and I go back to listening to my vintage stuff that will outlast the new material. Quote Link to comment
human touch Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Tumatanda lang tyo kya ganun, ganun din naman comments ng parents ko way back 80's and 90's mas maganda daw ang 50's and 60's... hahaha 12 Quote Link to comment
WadeWilson Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 Sheesh. Not all. Even Bieber -- despite all the hate he gets -- has some decent stuff. And, like two of the posters said, it's all relative and everyone has nostalgic bias. From the top of my head, here are some current quality acts (although if you don't like my taste, this list would be crappy for you, I guess): Mumford and Sons Young the Giant Above and Beyond Childish Gambino Adventure Club Sky Ferreira Bonobo Sbtrkt The Glitch Mob The 1975 Macklemore and much, much more. . Try music streaming apps like Deezer, Spotify, and our local equivalent, Spinnr. Definitely way better than radio. There's a lot of good music to be heard out there. Maybe you're just not ready to listen. Quote Link to comment
hecklerinthestands Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 If message boards had existed 20 years ago, I'm sure the same complaints about contemporary music of that time would have been posted. Tumatanda lang talaga tayo. Quote Link to comment
darkspear Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 (edited) I'll just leave this here. http://i.imgur.com/fRZS05Q.gif Don't stop digging for new music. Mainstream music will always suck balls, but great music is just hidden away, waiting to be discovered and for you to appreciate. Sobrang dali nang makadiscover ng music nowadays, maghanap ka lang.

hotcoldman Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Today's mainstream music scene is garbage, to me at least. The pop stuff just got too "poppy" Quote Link to comment
smart-ass Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 the music of yesteryears were memorable... today's music are forgettable.. or disposable.. too many lyrics in such a short melody/music.. the whites sing with a monotone drawl.. the blacks.. well.. they sing just to impress other of how good they are.. they don't sing for the love of it.. plain arrogance.. Gone are the likes of big arena rock bands.. the last of which is GREEN DAY.. of Marvin Gaye.. Michael jackson.. etc.. Even the soundtracks of today's movies are dismally unmemorable.. LET IT GO??? the Frozen theme.. ??? seriously.. compare that to previous Disney themes.. or better compare than to last year Oscar winner... SKYFALL by Adele.. a Bond classic.. hopefully the downward spiral trend in music will change.. Quote Link to comment
damian50 Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Kung buhay pa ang barkada kong ma-opinyon, gaito sasabihn nya: "Wala yang 80s at 90s sa 60s at 70s!" So mahaba-habang debate...dapat to pag-usapan sa kanto at may toma ;-) Quote Link to comment
emery Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Music is subjective. You just have to widen your music selection to discover some real good stuff when it comes to music. Also, must be willing to listen to genres outside your chosen ones. 1 Quote Link to comment
Kikko23 Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Well, the music that we listened to growing up was actually considered garbage by adults as well. In fact, a lot of that music hasn't aged gracefully. I cringe at a lot of the stuff I used to listen to. 1 Quote Link to comment

jasperchua Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Today's music is made (or should I say, marketed?) for today's generation - as is the case for every generation.There's music that is universally relatable and there's music that is marketed for a specific audience.Fact is, most of the music aired on the radio are marketed for the young generation because the youth are the largest demographic (at least in most socieities). My two centavos. Quote Link to comment
