When did music die?
| To be fair you need a pretty high IQ to understand pre-2014 music
*sigh* here we go again with "le music sux now back in my day twas better yaddy yadda"
| >>11d490 Pre-2014 music had its flaws as well,especially with the wave of boybands and idol-teen artists. My only problem with music today is how repetitive the messages are and the lack of talent. (Not to say that there aren't any talented artists today,they just don't get enough air time.) Me being born in 2003,I'm kind of biased,I guess. Also,the lack of basic comprehensive skills amongst today's society may be the biggest contributor to this lack of originality.

| Music died when it became a marketing tool comrade. In all seriousness music isn't dead; its just that, like any art, you have look hard to find what appeals to you. For example, I personally love the Persona Soundtracks, Chiptune, and the occasional fire moonmam track for good laughs.
| Stop bitching about the others taste.
| Theres a Lot of good music to listen. U would know that if u stop u werent to busy complaing about everyone's music taste
| :)
| I guess when the major recording labels realized people don't care about the quality of the music itself at all. They don't listen to music as much as they identify themselves with it. If you had me to specify the time I would say it started dying with modernists, like Ravel, at the beginning of 20th century.
| Now, what music exactly do you enjoy, OP?
| Good shit is there and will always be here. Just finding it is more difficult.
| Op stop listening to the radio and start actually looking for good music. The internet exists. Soundcloud, Bandcamp, YouTube, even Spotify exist. Use them.
| a few months ago i was feeling the same way ... i was thinking "man, these tracks from the good old days, that's been the good shit ..."
then i asked myself "why ?"
well, imo you're connecting music to memories and emotions, so when you're thinking about "old" music, all these pictures from years ago come back into your head. how you felt in that time (or what), if it was raining on that day etc. ...
| so, if you manage to find any music u like and connect an emotion to it, u're back in the game ;-) and the beautiful thing nowadays is, that we can probably listen to every piece of music ever created thanks to YT...
| and there IS good music since 2014 ...
just look between the lines ;-)
| Red Vox is a good band
| Haven't noticed what did 14 change
| Don't listen to radio trash there is still all the music you like probably still being made you just have to search further than the radio now
| There is new old music, like last year's Depeche Mode album
| Mediocrity.
This the state of any Media, it is a given fact that there will be "popular", "bad", or "crappy" stuff. This applies to Music as well.
The real truth is that you are your own consumer, music is free and it is YOUR CHOICE if you want to listen to that the music you complain about.
Go and EXPLORE the medium, find and develop your own tastes and give something a chance if you think you may like it.
Music is personal, you shouldn't make fun of others tastes for this.
| An if your that kind of person, you are either a very self loathing person, narrow minded, stubborn, jealous, or a complete shit-for-brains for others to see you as.
You can easily strike a good conversation about music with person of similar interests with this.
>Otherwise you, the person reading this could be an N'WAH
| Music was born dead.
| It's not dead, but I have to choose a year then 2013
| I would just say that it never died in the first place, plenty of good albums still come out.
| When video killed the radio star
| Do you even listen to music at all?
| There are always trash music, but only the good ones are remembered
| Can you tell me where my country lies?

It lies with me, cried the queen of maybe.
For her merchandise, he traded in his prise.
| there's still good music out there, you just have to dig deep to find it. (maybe not that deep - artists like mac demarco and tame impala, whose songs always have some meaning, are pretty popular)
| Look up shook on bandcamp, albums spectrum and continuum
| Music isn't dead, music in traditional media is. On TV and radio such which used to be the main way to hear about recent music nowadays only gets the music created by the big record companies. Ergo why we see so many lil' pumps in traditional media instead of 24/7 lofi hip hop radio smooth beats to study/chill/relax to. (Which memes aside are wonderful)
| And there's still pretty great active groups. The real Tuesday weld, they might be giants, etc. You just need to know where to look.
| r/lewronggeneration, also music did not die, you just have to learn how to find non-comercial music.

| I honestly believe between 2014 and now,music has lost its quality. It makes me sad to hear the radio play the same low-quality trash instead of songs with meaning. The only reason people listen to the music today is because they have simple lyrics with no meaning,beats that can be categorized as "catchy",and the trends/"challenges" that feature these songs. So,when did music decline in quality? What makes it so bad now? Let me know what you think.
