I will admit this much; I dig the return of old school sounding music this decade. That alone is better than almost anything from the 2000s. Hip hop production today is also way better today than it was in the 90s. I daresay this year alone has seen hip hop in a better position than any year before it.

you said it: the PRODUCTION, not the style-sound

Look around and you will find great music. Be open minded Mr. Tyler.

No and no; once in a while a catchy one hit wonder is released, and some veteran artists crap a new decent album, but that's about it...

I'm tired of the "Look around and you will find new great music" shit mantra, been hearing that shit mantra since 2008 at least

Ill take the return of funk in the 2010s instead of sloppy 90s r&b over

Exactly! The 1990s were the end of good R&B and the sound of that decade just continued on into the 2000s with very little change except maybe adding autone and trance to the shit hop. But shit hop dominated then and it still dominates.

you never experience the 1970s first hand, because you would have hated 90s music.

You got that right. I experienced the disco era of the 1970s firsthand even though I was still too young to go out to actual clubs but I did get the chance to enjoy the era in the skating rinks. The ONLY thing I liked about the 1990s was the house music era in the early part of the decade which felt kinda like a more modern reincarnation of the disco era. But a lot of that all eventually ended up starting to all sound alike and when trance started taking it over and weakening it, I dropped house music too and just pulled out my old records and said the hell with current music altogether.

I used to feel the same way until I really started looking around, finding gems here and there, beyond the mainstream charts. It is difficult to find good music on the radio, TV or any other mainstream media if they keep pushing the same ol artist´s same ol dozen songs down our throat on repeat, all day long. But most genres I like, be it rock, rap or house, or even reggae, still churn out great songs every now and then. But I don´t find them on the radio or TV the way I used to, I find them via blogs, Facebook, Youtube or concerts, or friends hip me to what they like.
