Music produced after 2009-is it ****e?

hello932

I seem to find music from the year 2009 and new stuff from this year to be absolute ****e. Is it just me or is music these days rubbish?

Biggins

After the 1990's its become really bad.

Hop in my time machine, and let me take you back to the showband era.

Sea Sharp

99% of the music from any decade was sh1te. But the gems are what we remember. There is good music out there, you just have to look very hard.

Because that's definitely correct.

It's not like Arcade Fire, Grizzly Bear, Fleet Foxes, Animal Collective, Vampire Weekend, The Strokes, LCD Soundsystem, Bon Iver et al are bands that started producing music this decade...

Nah, you just suck at finding music

Mastodon's crack the skye was made in 2009 too

"I was hoping that you'd call
I'd showered shaved and shit and all."

Has there ever been a better lyric? Don't think so. And written in 2009 when music had supposedly died. Take it away Sean.

Just you. There's loads of great music from the last two years out there, you just have to work a bit harder to find it.

Earthhorse

It's a well known fact that all good music was recorded during the years 1990 - 1994. Anything good outside of that is just a collapse in the space-time continuum.

music ceased being good when Vince Neil quit Motley Crue

There is good stuff out there, remember there's shite from other decades too.

One of my all time favourites. It's so good I dont even know what year it was made.

Pighead

Generally most peoples favourite music will have occured during a five year time span occuring approximately between 16-21 years after their birth date. So in Pigheads case 93-98 was when it all went down.

for all you kids under 30 "When it all went down" is an old saying used by 90's hipsters to indicate an era when things were fantastic.

Pace2008

Still heaps of great music being made - too much to listen to. You're just lazy as **** and aren't looking outside the FM bandwith.

All of those bands are utter ****e and i have a hard time telling them apart. Current 'indie'/rock music is garbage.

Jedward are savage. Their song, "Under Pressure" is f*cking brilliant.

hello932

Ok so where do people find music reviews online?-i like it easy-i dont want to have to trawl through endless reviews just to find one decent album. So i guess that does make me lazy. I generally use metacritic, 7 digital and sometimes entertainment.ie for their monthly reviews.

mikom

Everything's shite since Roy Orbison died.

everything went shite when joe dolan died

Become a hipster. Peruse Pitchfork and Drowned in Sound. They have forums too. If you think the people around here are w*nkers ..

I have a headache after listening to the music on this thread.

I blame Louis Walsh.

If he isn't burying him was a serious fortunate mistake.

Mick Flannery OP. Give him a listen.

Also Pink Floyd. Timeless.

Sure do. MySpace garage bands that got backed by the right hipster on Pitchfork.

Music has been crap for aaaages IMO.

Yeah its all gone "Some black guy with over-sized glasses wearing bling!)

But they have rather hot ladies in there videos.

I was at Paulo Nutini last night in Killarney. Whatever ye think of his music, tis a rare thing these days to have an artist who can properly sing live.

Well done you. From reading what you have said, it's glaringly obvious that you have listened to all of those bands. It's fascinating that you 'have a hard time telling them apart'. I'm sure you do.

mickydoomsux wrote: »

No you don't. I'm quite confident when I say you haven't a bulls notion about any of them. So yeah, get schooled before you start trolling.

How so?

I have listened to them and they all suck and sound the same. And of course when they emerged they were all the 'best band ever' for all of 2 weeks according to music journalists who are now obsessed with being the first to 'discover' a new band regardless of quality.

jill_valentine

Yeah, I think that "you suck at finding music" post pretty much sums it up. If you haven't bothered your arse actually listening to new music, you don't get to whine that you can't find any you like. Music didn't get sh*te, you did.

You fairly obviously don't, or you'd know why comparing Bon Iver to LCD Soundsystem doesn't work at all.

As for the Pitchfork thing, that's a laaaaaaazy answer. Actual hipsters abandoned Pitckfork ages ago, the second anybody else heard of it. In the meantime, so long as you ignore the fairly meaningless scoring system, it's actually a pretty good resource for keeping tabs on up and coming bands.

If you still don't want to slum it with the rest of us, there are plenty of other blogs out there - plenty of Irish ones, too - doing a fine job of making great music a) visible and b) available. There is more great music within your fingertips' reach than there's ever been at any time in history, and there's no excuse for bemoaning a lack of it.

The trick is finding a place to start.

(One of those places might be with The National's High Violet, incidentally.)
