People used to complain about 90's music, calling it a crap decade way worse than the '80s and '70s but, the way I see it, we are living in a duller version of the '90s, nothing new has been done for the last 20-10 (1995-2005) years, in fact, it has been dumbed down, examples

Shania Twain > Taylor Swift

Nas > Kanye West

Dre sound > current shit-hop

Pearl Jam > Kings of Leon

'90s Madonna > Lady GaGa

'90s Janet > Rihanna or Beyoncé

'91-00 U2 > Coldplay

Daft Punk > David Guetta

Radiohead > Arcade Fire

Blur > Franz Ferdinand

Hanson > Justin Bieber

---

list goes on and on

what do you think?

discuss

Just imagine what the 2020s will look like...

90s Michael Jackson > Justin Timberlake and The Weeknd

90s Prince > Bruno Mars (and he's easily the best pop star we have today)

I wouldn't say Lenny is better than Bruno though I'm more familiar with Bruno's than I am with Lenny' s. Whitney is a more apt comparison for Beyonce than MJ is. Everything else I can agree with.

.

I put Beyonce there due to her untouchable status. Whitney was an amazing talent, but she was definitely real people and weathered plenty of criticism. B can seemingly do anything and gain praise, sales, and overexposure.

Lenny was the jam for a good while in the 90s, then he hit that plateau with all those hits that bascially sounded the same.

AWWWW HOW CUTE! Another day, another ''90's so mucb better nostal;fndbvhj nostalgic fuck face fuck your music i'm old nd fdi dick is nasty bruh snjsb sdj''

What happened? The internet happened, free downloads plus tons of new artists that you have to look for in order to find them because mainstream radio and payola make sure we only get to hear the same old ten or fifteen songs day in and day out.

Ten years from now we might miss today´s sound and complain about the shitty music of 2025...wihle still waiting for stuff from Prince´s vault and the Purple Rain remastered album.

Things started to go downhill pretty fast when the mighty Jheri curl became a thing of the past ca. 1987.

u dont care for da '90s ?

Flamig Lips >> Flaming Lips With Miley Cyrus

2010s are better than 2003-2009, but it don't matter cause when you hit a certain age you're not supposed to like current music anymore, that's the way it's always been.

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

Agreed! ..

in my honest opinion i think he's the last 'Great Black Super Star Musician' that we've seen..

meaning..

Talent.

Looks.

Charisma..ect.

He was 100% Totally The MAN! where i come from back in the early 90's!

Hell fucking no. This is the best decade of music.

plz, keep being yourself; don't ever change

Nostalgia it's what happens, it's the same argument every end of every decade, of course music is always better as avery decade past away, but it's not as dramatic as everyone pit it. The next decade we'll have the same thread talkin about how great Bruno Mars sounded, but what can i say i was just 11 when the Almighty 90's fade away, so...

I know a LOT of people in their twenties who think that music (on the charts NOT local unheard of acts) was better in previous decades than now...

it's not a '90s vs previous music thread, it's mostly a '90s vs post early '00s thread

and I stick to my guns: 04-... music is a lame copy of 93-03 music
