Numbers of records sold means fuck all (and I'm actually pleasently surprised Urban Hymns and Jagged little pill are there). The number one hit, a rehash of a good song, just illustrates the utter mawkishness of the British public which hasn't changed one jot. There was masses of shit in the 90s but also some good stuff before it became the last decade for music to take a stand before it was obliterated by the unadulterated crap thrown out from "talent" shows and music streaming. Where are the Beatles, Pink Floyds, Radioheads, ***insert countless pre 2000's bands*** now? Eh, EH? Think it illustrates my point pretty well. Those were two snapshots of the 90s, showing just how much bilge was out there at the time. Few of the songs from the 90s stand the test of time, most of it was garbage, just like the 80s, 00s, 10s and now. Honestly, there might be Radiohead equivalents recording now, but I doubt they'll be to our tastes. Just like our parents would have hated Pablo Honey or OK Computer. It seems like everything successful today has been softened and sanded down. Commercialism probably has a lot to answer for there. Like, I really enjoyed Kings of Leon, but it felt like after the relative success of Youth and Young Manhood and Shake Heartbreak they turned into a shit arena band overnight.

Our teenage years are a time of development socially, biologically and cognitively, and we start to build our own independent sense of identity. It’s during this period when we start to make key decisions that help shape who we are – who we surround ourselves with, our attitudes to things, what job we want to pursue, what we want to study, where we want to live. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might have was the last great decade for guitar bands, when rock (and roll) was king 80's took Hip hop, electronica and then the rave/clubbing revolution and took the mainstream and the underground away from guitar lead music. I'd say the 80s were far more influential long term. The 70s were more of a last thrash of the rock and roll explosion 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayatollah Hermione 12866 Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 What we have today is largely a result of instant access to the history of pop music, warts and all. So you’re getting a lot of bands who are smashing together a load of disparate influences and, in most cases, coming out with something less than the sum of its parts. That’s not in the mainstream obviously, that’s recovered slightly from the 2010s nadir but it’s still 98% dogshit 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
