Will we be listening to today's music in 20 years?

She's one of these "I'm proud to be a big fat hog of a woman" which makes audiences clap and cheer her for being an absolute bloater.

Fat people are a disgrace.

Can we stop quoting that picture now? Let's leave it on the last page and forget about it :fp:

She's such a disgraceful woman, I don't even understand how people can like her music.

Apparently some women of the lesbian persuasion consider her quite a catch...

Yeah, projecting their...their...weightiness onto others. Bastards.

Curse them for being fat and happy. The twats. They should be miserable like us skinny folk.

off topic

Even while the Beatles were holed up in Abbey Road Studios recording some of the most significant and important popular music in history, the 60's charts were crammed with utter nonsense. Every decade has it's stand-out acts, and every decade has more than enough utter morons who, in the interests of taste and decency, should never have been allowed to record so much as a note.

I don't know much about modern popular beat combos, but I still listen to the loveable mopheads as much as, say, something by Bluetech or Shulman. The pop charts stopped having any meaning for me somewhere around 1985 and I haven't paid them any attention since. The interweb has widened my musical horizons immensely, introducing me to musicians and albums I might never have discovered for myself (since they never get any airplay).

Greatness - sheer musical talent - speaks for itself and it will therefore stand the test of time accordingly. Meanwhile, I stick with the likes of The Eagles and Springsteen, ELO and Joni Mitchell. Perhaps that makes me an old fogey - or perhaps we all just cling to the nostalgia of the music we grew up with and what it represents to us. It's comforting and familiar.

Someone on GR who might actually have decent taste in music? I never thought I'd see the day... I thought we were all emo heads around here.

Epic bump

I've been thinking about this a lot recently, resulting in this thread - t:has-music-gone-as-far-as-it-can-go?f=7

I've recently started listening to Absolute 80s and Absolute 90s and, maybe it's just me, but there's so many songs that feel so iconic from that era. I'm not sure what can be said of today's music, a lot of it feels like grey sludge to me with nothing really new or outstanding.

Was the 60s-90s REALLY the golden age of pop?

Are any of today's "stars" as big as Michael Jackson, Madonna and Freddy Mercury back in their day?

Will music from the late 20th century be forgotten as people from that era die off, will the likes of Beyonce and Taylor Swift replace them?

How the strawberry float did you even remember this thread existing?

What people forget as they get older is that the music of today isn’t for you. Older people in the 50s/60s hated rock n roll. Older people in the 70s hated punk. Older people in the 80s hated acid house. Older people in the 90s hated the dance music and gangsta rap.

If you don’t like anything that is being released by young people and new acts, then it is because you are old.

Yes. I like metal, there's been some really good stuff from the 90's onwards.

For example, Voivod put out an album last year that I know I will be listening to 20 years from now (if I haven't died before then).

If we are talking about pop music, I would still say yes. Great songs will rise above the majority of the cack that's released. That's the thing I feel about music, the majority of it is mediocre, but you will always find extraordinary stuff if you dig a bit deeper. That applies to all genres.

I like Paparazzi by Lady Gaga. It has strawberry floating great chorus.

Spotted this comment on The Guardian today...

Young people seem generally less interested and passionate about new music than they once did. At my daughters joint 18th birthday party with her best friend last year, they ended up playing mostly 80's music by the end of the night. Perhaps this is what happens when so much mainstream music is written by committee? Perhaps it's because there is so much other culture aimed at young people that music no longer occupies the exclusive space it once did?

Is this sort of thing common with today's teens? Couldn't have imagined wanting 60s music to be played at my 18th.

I can remember school discos used to play 60s music. And Jive Bunny was big in the 80s

The 80's has some great pop music though. The kids aren't thick.

Yes.

You are old, sorry.
