What happened to good music?

The quality if music has deteriorated at an alarming rate, or maybe an just getting old. I have a real passion for music,but, I'm finding it VERY frustrating when song like anaconda are in the charts and singers these days lack emotion in their music.

share your favourite artists and songs here....and rejoice in decent music once again.

Tbh it's your ability to delve and find good music that's at fault, no one's forcing you to listen to chart music...

The vast majority of music that is made isn't in the charts. Some of my favourite music ever has been made in the last couple of years.

I'm just much more a fan of older music. Bands like The Smiths, R.E.M., Joy Division, INXS, Echo and the Bunnymen and more. Not a fan of much current music really.

Oh OK
His voice seemed way to deep for a 21 year old lol
I thought he was like 40 till I saw the video and was just baffled about how such a deep voice can cone from such a young guy lol

If you are judging all music from the pop scene, it is your own ideology of good music deteriorating, not music itself.

I'm talking about mainstream music. I don't get why record labels are put music like in my initial post.

me too, but none of the above music

Re the Op, music industry has re-hashed popular music over the generations , what was edgy 5 years previous became mainstream. by the 2000s we have it seems exhausted all forms of invention and just back to re-hashing of both 90s soul/ dance music and 80s rock music

i blame the youth, they prop up this daft industry

The mainstream market for everything ever is bad because it's more a popularity contest to hit the lowest common denominator than any semblence of excellence in a field.

It's not just music; it's the games industry, film indu- you get the picture.

It's not that music is bad, per se. I mean, a lot of the music being released and hitting the charts isn't meant to be difficult to create or avant-garde. They're catchy nonsense (RE: Nicki Minaj - Anaconda), party bangers (RE: Far East Movement - G6) or pop-culture references given musical form (RE: Chainsmokers - Selfie).

In the sense that "different" music is dead, that'd be a heinous lie. It's just seen as "underground" now.

tl;dr, "good" music was removed from public view because the general public are a pack of lazy people who want instant gratification and want a dumb hook to repeat.
