Sup Forums is modern music shit and why so? Is it just me or does most music nowadays sound overly pretentious boring bullshit or about something as nihilistically devoid of meaning as literally ass.
I'm mean take Queen or Talking Heads or Oingo Boingo or even The Beatles for example. They were able to write things with real meaning behind them while also doing so in a non pretentious "oh look at me I'm such as snart indie faggot", and fun sort of way.
I agree there are still some pretty good stuff to be found in modern alternative genres but particuarly with what's popular and in the top 40 seems just to be complete and utter shit to me.
Am I just being a lewronggeneration faggot or is what I'm talking about true?
You could have at least picked better examples of """good music""", now you're just embarrassing yourself

>Am I just being a lewronggeneration faggot
Yes.
That said music has never been easier to record and publish - so i agree with you that the amount of indie "DEEP AND ORIGINAL" garbage floating around is awful.
Aaron Torres
The hell is wrong with those guys?
Camden Gomez
Nothing, but you chose very popular and overrated bands, thus showing that you're indeed a lewronggeneration faggot. Listen to more music.
I chose them because they were popular. They might not be 10/10 (except for Danny elfman fuck you I would suck his dick) but they're a hell of a lot better then the shit in the top 40 nowadays.

>popular Their best-known song,[citation needed] "Weird Science", was written for the John Hughes film of the same name, and was later included on their 1985 album Dead Man's Party.
Kevin Taylor
>le top 40 How about you go and look at top 40 for 60's and 70's. You would recognize 5 songs a year maximum. The rest were forgotten, and guess why? [spoiler]Because they were shit.[/spoiler]
Connor Ross
Lana del Rey and sia were what I was talking about when I meant overly pretentious. Kendrick and Radiogead are decent, but you can hardly say the over 2 songs were very popular even if they were in the top 40, I don't even remember them.
These are all alternative and not really part of what I'm talking about.
Justin Wood
5 songs a year is better then we're doing now.
Xavier Turner
>Kendrick and Radiogead are decent, but you can hardly say the over 2 songs were very popular both albums were massive hits although radiohead was a lot more dependent on their legacy but still got massive attention
Samuel Hill
Shit meant *other 2 songs. Sorry I'm on mobile. I love radiohead and Kendrick's albums I meant the other 2 songs that I didn't even remember existed.
Tyler Taylor
Mark Ronson was arguably the biggest smash hit of the year if not the surrounding years. It's lead single is possibly the most successful of the millennium.
Maybe Car Seat was a tiny stretch but that is commonly considered the most relevant rock song of the year. On May 13, 2016, Matador Records recalled the entire initial compact disc and vinyl print runs of the album following the denial of permission to use lyrics from The Cars' "Just What I Needed" in the song "Just What I Needed/Not Just What I Needed".[4] It was the first time in the label's history that they had recalled a record.[5] The recalled copies were destroyed in the label's warehouse using a garbage truck compactor.[5]
Gabriel Adams
I seriously never heard car seat before, and I only remeber Mark Ronsin from a couple of movie trailers.
Also do record companies really still make actual records?
Colton Diaz
Yeah vinyl sales are at a 30 year high or some shit. I don't follow it too closely.
Lincoln Moore
>Queen >Overrated
No other band does or has done opera-styled rock fampai.
Xavier Reed
>but particuarly with what's popular and in the top 40 seems just to be complete and utter shit to me. You're not wrong, therefore - don't listen to it.
Aiden Davis
It all sounds like it was recorded in the same studio.
Julian Taylor
sounds like you are just cherrypicking or falsely dichotomizing to generalize a set within which you apparently have both good and bad items. It is more up to you to determine whether "modern music" is shit by making your own distinction in quality of modern musical works while weighting them quantitatively with how many are "good" or "bad" if you are even keeping track.
Whatever I'll take the bait when someone makes counter-intuitive and overtly ambivalent statements about the condition of such a broad entity any day. t.autism
And even in the 60s, a lot of hits were extremely formulaic and silly. I think the reason why the Beatles were so popular at that time is that they were more creative and interesting musically than the rest while still being very accessible and catchy.
