So then how has music changed? Good bad or both? Well they way I see it music has gone down the hill where the 60/70s were at the top and from the 80s things started dying down slowly. I mean look at some of the musicians over the years.
Spoiler:





I put 80s Madonna cause this decades Madonna sucks!
And now look were we are goin towards the 2000s...
90s included.


Hmm is it me or are things getting a bit strange and a bit worse?



Ugh I am not even going to post anymore of this decades or even last decades artist.
So what can you tell from my posts? I just hate the music after the 90s except for some bands like Rise Against and SOAD but otherwise ugh just please stop you call that music!

Actually, music started going downhill around the middle of this decade (IMO)--the 80's and 90's had some great stuff, and a lot of it is still very enjoyable all these years later.

I disagree. I don't think a decade of music has ever gone "downhill," it's all in perspective.

Good music still exists today, it's just masked with all that mainstream garbage you hear on the radio =/

I even remember hating the music in the 90s so much that my parents never would play music.
Maybe that's because most children at that age are not into music...
As always it depends on opinion and taste in music. You posted a picture of Michael Jackson, a prominent music figure of the 80's, isn't he one of the best selling music artists of all time? I would say music started going downhill after 2000 rather than the 80's. Vega does make a good point though, there are far more music artists in modern times than there were in the 60's so it takes a lot more rooting around to find the good ones.

I agree mainstream metal has gone downhill for most avid fans; get familiar with some Scandinavian bands, they're the best around right now.
Pop music has gone downhill as well, for me personally; 90s pop is the only kind I like.

Those are the two major genres of music by a large margin, which is why others are and always have been fine and steady.

Music has not gone downhill. Its just way too easy to release music these days so its not rare to find bad music.

True. You know I have been listening to today's music and I noticed something. People are depending too much on hit singles. With that they make one good song and 10 crappy songs to go with it. Where with music from before the 2000s I could listen to whole CD's non-stop. Now its just the one hit single.

There's been great and mukty music in every decade. It just seems like great music has kinda fallen out of the spotlight more recently (or that's how most people feel. There's a lot of good stuff out there in the mainstream in my opinion.)

It's still there, though, it's still being made.

I'd say I'd order the decades according to preference like this:
2000s>90s>60s>70s>80s

I can't think of many justifiable reasons to like the 80s with the bands I know from it (minus bands like Minor Threat and Fugazi. Gotta love Ian MacKaye). I grew up with more current music, so I'm more familiar with a broad spectrum of music from the 2000s, rather than knowing just what was popular from the 60s.

The 90s were only so great because of bands like At the Drive-In and Saetia (and all the other bands that were made in the same vein). Popular music's downfall was pretty much solidified by now though.
