    I swear I have to turn off the radio constantly I cant listen to another fake ass gangsta or depressing indie rock band.
    I mean alot of 80s and 90s stuff was cheese but it had character and longevity, I cant see any of the chart stuff today been played 20 years from now atleast I hope not.
    Im 26 so not old by any means. You just cant beat the golden oldies and 90's dance anthems imo.

    Edit: chart stuff is my gripe

    Nostalgia yo'.

    People your age were saying the same 10/15 years ago.

    In 2025 or so, people will be looking back at bands like Arcade Fire wondering what has happened!

    Because it's more disposable today than ever. There's no commitment involved anymore. You pay 99c for a piece of crap on iTunes. You used to be charged 4.99 for a CD single, or 15.99 for an album. And if you were gonna fork out that much money, you wanted quality. Not like today.

    LOL The oldies were always the best, Like fúck they were, every year has its share of great & crap songs, just ignore the crap and enjoy the best.

    It really doesn't matte if it was produced last week or forty years ago if you like it.

    Just listened to Blondie "call Me" on youtube.

    Ahh your just getting older. I am subjected to the crap that my parents listened/danced to when I go to the odd country relatives wedding. Having said that, it's not that bad but not to my taste.


  • Posts: 17,735 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    I used to be with it, but then they changed what "it" was.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,549 ✭✭✭✭Judgement Day


    A lot of the so-called music today is no better than static feedback. Fecking Bang Bang Style or whatever it's called drives me demented. That said, I'm a dinosaur that gave up buying records back in the '70s when when I was still a teenager. There were some real musicians back then - Rory Gallagher, Deep Purple, Free ........I'll get my coat. :D

    That music defined a generation and culture going into the noughties ( always hate that word). It wasn't to everyones taste but it was powerful feel good stuff. Dance and heavy metal was the music I grew up on.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,466 ✭✭✭Clandestine

    ...it was never my thing. Some of the prodigys later stuff isn't bad, that being said. The best use I had for dance music was that it got attractive women up doing their thing. Other than that....

    Music is great these days...you just dig through the sh1t to find it

    You're a similar age to me so, the "noise" my son plays makes my ears bleed! but having said that, there's plenty of decent stuff out there right now.

    edit you forgot argent! :D

    If you listen to music on the radio, then most of it is rubbish. However, in USA, Canada, Japan and Russia there are always new and interesting artists around. So not all of today's music is ****e. Don't forget that music is also being produced in non-English speaking countries as well. You just have to look further to find something decent than ever before.

    when I hear 'dance anthems' I think of diet trance and all the marketing hype that the big record companys released with gatecrashers 15 and trance anthems 32 :pac:

    strangely enough am just reading boards listening to this :)

    I have always thought that but I was a major music snob growing up who didn't like any band once they got popular. I have since grown up out of that annoying habit.

    Everyone here needs to watch this ;)

    Im 26 so not old by any means. You just cant beat the golden oldies and 90's dance anthems imo.

    IMO the pop/dance music is a lot better now than what is was during the early to mid 00's. God there was some terrible music during the naughties. Yes the 80's and 90's were better, but the main disappointment now is that there is no decent rock music anymore.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,628 ✭✭✭Femme_Fatale


    Plenty of great music today, but chart music is way worse than it used to be. That's not "music snobbery" or having rose-tinted spectacles in relation to the past. X Factor and auto-tune and all that stuff has had an effect on chart music over the past 10 to 15 years.

    Yes no decent rock music is a tragedy I cant stand this indie stuff killers, snow patrol and all these other bunch of old mans arses.

    There must be no hope for my mind so, I can't think of a single dance anthem from any time that I didn't think was utter sh*te. :D

    Today, we have this thing called the internet, it allows us to listen to exactly what we want to listen to and when we want to listen to it,

    Paranoid by Black Sabbath in the background! :D

    LOUD!

    Radios are paid to play stuff to get it sold. Maybe try and find an internet radio station that plays the sort of music that you like?
