Today's music is garbage

[ricardo23]

Today's music is garbage lyrics are too shallow,80's and 90's are better

[youmakemewannabeabetterman]

agree... "sexy" music is a lot different back then, now it's too vulgar.

even my two kids (24 and 16) have the 80's and 90's on their iPod....they prefer their parent's music

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

[human touch]

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

[WadeWilson]

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.

[hecklerinthestands]

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.

I'll just leave this here.

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.
