/music/ - Music

In a way it has but I don't have enough experience to base of. If we're talking rap in regards to your pic, The last "era" if you should even call it that, gained a lot of traction and lost a lot around that time and ended in a way in like 2018. Multiple high tier artists either died or went to prison/jail. The newest sound that's going on right now is pretty much the same as before with a few changes here and there and new faces, who sound way too similar to contemporaries and aren't all that interesting. I'm not sure on this but it also feels like there were more people in that sphere that were getting headlines around that time as compared to now. It felt like it was a different person each day, now it's usually Drake or Kanye in the news for most of the cycle.

The last big event(s) that have happened post 2019 off the top of my head are
-Playboi Carti Album
-The YEEZY 4 President Campaign
-The YEEZY Stadium + Album
-Tory Lanez Shoots Meg
-Lil Nas X + Old Town Road
-Tyler the creator Album IGOR
-More people dying (Pop Smoke, MF DOOM, Young Dolph)
-Travis ASTROWORLD DEATHS
-General Drake stuff

On the other side you have HYPERPOP and RAGE BEATS gaining traction since 2020 and it's gaining more attention, that feels about it..

For music as a whole idk people like Taylor Swift haven't been in news a lot the last two things i can recall are Billie and Olivia Rodrigo gaining fame.

>Playboi Carti Album
if you're talking about Whole Lotta Red that was kind of a flop
i think the 2010s celebrity boom built on social media and streaming is dead in the water now, especially now that algorithms are what's really in control

>>3228
WLR had controversy so it had steam to be talked about for a bit, if it were more successful feedback wise it would have been larger. There's also a few amount of people that have blown up or at least a bit recently due to twitter, instagram, youtube and tiktok, so i'm not sure it being dead is completely right but there is a new shift coming along and i'm not sure how i feel about it.

>music stopped in 2017
>oh yeah well here is some pop
You nerds shit is always happening we've got phonk now

>>3225
I'll be honest, the most recent album I listened in full was Bottemless Pit.
I enjoyed it a lot, but every other single from every other rapper sounded just the same as it did a decade ago. Almost exactly like weezy imo. I don't care for it at all.
I just wish we could just end the computer era and go back to the 60's and 70's sometimes…

>>3225
maybe you are old?
i used to have a headphones on at all waking hours when i was a student but i just don't listen to music anymore its always audiobooks or documentaries

>>3231
The weezy shit I was referencing

>>3230
>You nerds shit is always happening we've got phonk now
Phonk (not the initial wave) got big and died before the year OP started with…. but the resurgence recently is nice albeit kinda bad.

>>3233
the original is better imo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hOFzOSVGir8

>>3234
yeah that was mostly an early 2010s thing
man, we were fucking spoiled back then… dubstep, backpack rap, phonk, trap music, everything was at its peak back then

>>3959
ooh, vaporwave too

>>3959
I remmeber back in the early 2010s when older millennials and Gen X saying that music went to shit around the late 1990s/early 2000s.

>>3225
>why does it feel like music "stopped" around 2015-2017?
because you started feeling old around 2015-2017

in my case it was 2011

ur just getting old man it will happen to all of us. there's no big music events for you but right now theres a tons of them happening that neither of us know about purely cuz we not clued into to that scene.

because you let mass media dictate how you should engage with music

>>8007
As someone whose hung out with older people, as in over sixty, it always amuses/irrutates me that people under fifty constantly whine about being "old" just because their shitty decase culture isnt remembered.

Like bruh,why do people treat year numbers as individual epochs?
2011 and 2015 were not that different.

>>8009
Okay what are those scenes

>>8010
>>8009
nostalgia is repetitive ignorance

>>8012
ion know off the top of my head sextrance is blowing up, I give a year or two b4 it reaches mainstream viewership

it didnt, you just stopped paying attention. It's normal for people to stop paying as much attention to pop culture after a certain age

>>8006
Music died August 9, 1995.

>>8014
We're fucked
>>8028
I do pay attention, and I don't care about pop culture

What about Lofi Phonk and Breakcore?

>>8031
Breakcore is from the late nineties…

>>3959
That was when dubstep went to shit and went mainstream, the peak of real dubstep in the underground was around 2006 - 2009 before skrillshit and brostep took over

There’s some good shit still but you have to dig.
The majority of what’s popular shows up on peoples tiktok feeds and is kind of bland imo.

because you are a sheep and only listen to what is drip fed to you, music never stops you just stop paying attention or get old

>>8052
early dubstep is like that ong perfect music for days with shitty weather and/or smoking za n popping downers.
>imma let you finish but picrel is one of the best albums of all time

>>8058
You don't know anything about me, and you haven't posted examples to contradict this like the 10 other people in this thread saying the exact same thing as you

>>8062
thats because there isnt an answer to this question, any music scene you can think of is alive

the mainstream is boring, that doesnt mean music is dead it just means you need to find it

>>8030
>We're fucked
how so? genuinely cant tell if this anti hexd trance-vyvannse trance or a fan gatekeeping

>>8063
The mainstream matters
No one likes circlejerking losers obsessed with the appearance of obscurity

>>8065
it doesnt, the mainstream is just another word for a advertising agency, who gives a shit.



heres some examples of certified hood classics

>Nazi shit with random distortion noises
>Second one describes itself in tags as coldwave, darkwave and electroclash
Very current

>>8072
they are personal 10s from respective genres to come out in modern times

also its not nazi shit, its got rosa parks quotes; its anti-NATO.

As long as there are musicians there will always be *some* decent music.
But yeah, music pretty much died when torrenting took over and RIAA gave up spending BIG MONEY on producing quality albums.
Anyone "serious" into music knows this.
But as I said, there's still some amazing (esp experimental) shit out there.
But rap? Lol, for sure it's deader than ossified dog shit. Lol.
t. volunteered at / had my own show on Freeform Portland

Revenue =/= sales
CDs for example have an advantage because there's so much value added from its manufacturing process

>>8085
Okay I'm dumb https://www.aei.org/carpe-diem/animated-chart-of-the-day-recorded-music-sales-by-format-share-1973-to-2022/

>le rap bad
ok gramps thanks for the input

>>8087
i love rap bro
i love listening to the millionth song by some paper gangster about how women don't understand him

>>8088
>i love listening to the millionth song by some paper gangster about how women don't understand him

lmao this guy thinks thats every rap song why cap on what you clearly don't know about drink some prune juice

I've been thinking alot about this I think the previous century will in the future be ragarded as a musik revolution, people kept coming up with new and unique forms of music with new technologies and methods available to play and share music. But from here onwards we've pretty much done all the best that was possible, now there's only immitators and some dumbasses making complete garbage in an attempt at being "original"

>>8092
literally everyone new has thought this about the current state of things, its not an enlightened thought, its actually a retarded one.

What will and will not be considered total garbage/10/10 of this generation of music wont be figured out till a few decades from now.

You only feel this way because advertising companies made you feel like that, new genres are coming out all the time you're just not being sold them anymore.

tl;dr
stop being a consoomer, go outside

>>8088
Punk rock is more o lss the same thing

Kendrick is mediocre, has no quotables, and his production was pretty heavy-handed on tpab.

>>8099
All genres stagnate, incorporate new elements and get refreshed into new genres.

Jazz is always popping, although I haven't seen any big recorded artists since Thundercat and Kamasi Washington, whose last studio albums came out in 2017/18

Copyright claims for "plagiarizing" music. Musicians are often forced to use melodies they don't like, but they want fane and money. That's why the music went shittier.
