I'm just givin' you a hard time. lol I actually bought one of their CDs back in the '90s and sang this song on the phone to my first girlfriend when I was like ten. BSB was the shit back in the day. I gave my sister a hard time for being a ride or die Nsync fangirl but I secretly liked their music too. Shhhhhhhh. |
| Depends on the genre for sure. I grew up playing Classical piano and listening to hip hop, Rap, RnB, Gospel, Jazz, Soul, Blues, Pop, Drum and Bass, Reggae and Dancehall. Rap is garbage now. It peaked around 2014 and went off a cliff after that. Whats more annoying though is hearing the same old 'classics' playing in clubs, at parties, in people's cars. The same old jams from the 90s that people can't and won't let go of. Their taste and experience in music is so limited. I've been enjoying discovering new genres of music on Spotify, Youtube and Soundcloud. I also looked into Vocaloid and found some music from the first genres I mentioned. |
| Modern or classic; old or new, it doesn't matter. It can't compete with kawaii music, which stands at the pinnacle of music. Of course everything would sound inferior after experiencing the sweet bliss that is kawaii music. Just join the church of kawaii music already and let your soul be healed. |

| I think people need to grow out of the phase of disliking modern music on account of it being modern. I used to think that way as well, but now I can enjoy modern music if I actually think it sounds good, even though I tend to prefer older stuff. |

| English/Pop music always suck, about polish ones which I know mainly, it is hard as 90s have some strong stuff and the modern has also some strong stuff (I ain't speaking about english ones as I don't listen to it cause from non-polish music I only know the music which is put on night clubs/radio or from anime when it comes to japanese stuff) In nutshell my opinion will be based on polish saying "Cudze chwalicie, swego nie znacie" ("You're cheering the others, your own you don't know" - literal translation, from dictionary the english version of this saying ->" the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence"). But here I am not meaning cheering for something which is not polish vs polish, but you're cheering the older stuff, without diging into the modern stuff, remember that the "POP" in radio is not the only musical stuff which is created in nowadays x) Here's examples |

| Not really. I always preferred older music and movies, but recently my attention shifted to more modern material. For example, i like 60s jazz, and I also like contemporary modern Jazz (Kamasi Washington, Kamaal Williams, Alfa Mist). I like Funk, and one of my favorite funk bands is a contemporary band (Vufpeck). I like the sound of 80s music, and I hear the same summer-ish synth driven vibe listening to many contemporary bands (Harvey Sutherland, Breakbot, Yellow Days, PERP, Parcels, Kavinsky, Laneous, Natalie Prass, Caroline Rose). I also like other modern styles of music, like the chamber-pop influenced My Brightest Diamond and Kadhja Bonet. Hip hop music is becoming increasingly popular, and while I don't really fancy the style most of the time, I really like its influence in other genres, especially in jazz and other modern pop-ish bands I listen to. Not to mention lo-fi. The problem with modern music is that it's more difficult to label it, imo. So it's really hard to find new music to listen to. |
| Correction: modern pop music sucks. We have things like folk metal. |
| I'm about to say the unthinkable: I think there's plenty of good modern music, including pop songs. |

 |
| I've always been into mainstream shit, older or recent one. Sorry, but I love Ed, Shape of you and Shivers are just super good songs imo. Also : Fucking hell, that kinda jam makes me feel great ^^ So yeah Love it ;p |
 |
| Shite music's always been around, you just kinda forget about it while the good stuff sticks. Gonna be the same with today's music in a few decades and the cycle continues. |
 |
| Music peaked with Seikilos and has never been good again. |

| I never liked Backstreet soy boys. You really live in a cave if you think everything is junk pop music nowadays. I know for a fact that low-level music is increasingly popular mostly because this is what the average person can process and understand, not everybody craves good lyrics or harmony. It's just a matter of finding your band/group and stick with it. Gojira has been my thing recently, they are still producing good music, so I stick with it as far as they are active. Also, I still listen to rappers such as Earl Sweatshirt, Chester Watson, Vince Staples, Joey Badass, Rejjie Snow, and the list goes on. |

| the 2000s were HORRIBLE for music U_U Nowadays I can't chill 10 mins on Youtube without god-tier darksynth and doom albums being spammed at me by the algorithm :'D |
 |
| I would have to say yes to that. Finding very talented Millennials and younger artists is difficult. With Daft Punk out of the music industry, all hope of world-changing music has slipped away. |
| Depends how you define modern. Everything after 2010 sucks I agree, sounds all the same plus lyrics with barely any deeper meaning behind it. I like rock/pop from the 60s-80s but not always. Classical music and jazz is also fine but I can't listen to that for too long. These days I mainly listen to lofi and anime music. |
| If you're saying everything after the 2000s was bad, then you're very ignorant. There has defiantly been a decline, though. |
| I doubt that you understand the usage of the word "modern." But I would be curious to know what constituted good music in the 1990s... philtecturophy said: I only listen to classical music (mostly Chopin) and games songs Music these days are junk, including most anime openings and endings songs I am surprised that you do not listen to jazz at all. Pretty sure that you should love Bill Evans and like Thelonious Monk, who are respectively the Chopin and the Mozart of jazz (without making any exaggerations). |
| yeah, but it depends on what genre it is and its meaning, don't ever listen to nowadays pop or popular artist you know from like 2012-2018, my worst mistake ever |
 |
| Most people will say you're just getting older, but you're right, it's dreadful. But at the same time, this mainly applies to the mainstream junk. You will almost always find something better than anything mainstream, the problem is that it's so hard to find. The good stuff is mostly found by accident. |
| People have been saying this for decades, you could probably track this sentiment back to the 60s. The main reason why people say things like this is simply because they grew up with music from a decade ago that followed slightly different trends and conventions. |

The main reason why people say things like this is simply because they grew up with music from a decade ago that followed slightly different trends and conventions. Even longer I think, for a bit I was doing a personal challenge where I was trying to watch every WB animated theatrical short and I remember a cartoon from like way back in like the late 30s or early 40s with a joke making fun of this sentiment, so this has been a thing for a very very long time, lol. Though in that era it kinda makes sense culturally, since it isn't like now where everything is slightly different than decades before, you had the rising popularity of blues and Jazz, which to older upper and middle class white americans was completely different from anything they had heard before. |

| There's always been shitty music on the radio and in the mainstream in general, but it's really not that hard to find good or even great music from just about any era. The-Nsider said: Rap has become garbage lust, money, sex, guns Give this a listen. It dropped just two weeks ago. |
Take care of yourself |
| not all old music is good and not all new music is good that has always been the case, if you think that most of modern music sucks than i dont think that you've listened to good music. But hey maybe we just have very different taste |

| I like both modern and old music. Generally i consider the 70s to have the overall best albums. |
| っ◔◡◔)っ ♥Average gamer and anime enjoyer♥ |
| Survivor bias. The amount of songs that you just pretend or forget existed that was made in those older time periods you like is astounding. |
 |
| Judging music by awards or records is pretty fallible already, but it makes far less sense nowadays. I don't think OP realizes the absurd amount of music that is currently released weekly. One thing is certain, being popular worldwide based on pure talent is way more difficult now. But on the bright side, talented people have much better ways to promote their music nowadays through the internet, even if it's for a more specific public. |
| Depends on your taste in music. My brother prefers the 70s era of music. Every era has their share of bangers and crap songs. Some of my favorite bands are old, like Guns N' Roses, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Foo Fighters. Others are also from the 2000s like Gorillaz, Biggie, Eminem, T-Pain. Again it depends on your preferences, some like the oldies while others are a Jack of all Trades. |
| hello im 5 yrs old and I listen to the beatles...... |
infinite money glitch click here for money free mony click here real |
| There's too much music out there to be able to make a proper judgment. |
| can dis sig fit |
| I tihnk plenty of new music is good, so many people release music now im sure you can find good stuff lmao |

| This is a shit boomer take. Just because you don't like the modern landscape of music doesn't make it bad. Hip hop and rap have never been in a better place with artists like Tyler, Kendrick, JPEGMAFIA, Freddie Gibbs, Conway, Benny, Denzel, Vince Staples, Anderson .Paak, Pusha, Blu etc all actively making great music. Hopefully Lupe, Schoolboy Q, A$AP Rocky, and Lil Wayne come out with new music soon too. Probably missed a bunch |

You're right, every single one of them is popular and critically acclaimed because they make garbage music xD my fault for expecting a non-retarded answer about music on "MyAnimeList". Care to explain why you feel that way? Who are your favorite artists |

The music you like I personally think is garbage, I have always felt that way about hip hop and rap, you may think that way about the music I like. Why does it bother you so much? |
