Young People PREFER MUSIC FROM THE 20th CENTURY/1970's - 2000, RATHER THAN THE GARBAGE POP OF TODAY, NEW RESEARCH REVEALS

You’re exactly right. There is no more low hanging fruit. The tree was stripped bare about 15 years ago and now people are shaving off bits of bark and passing it off as fruit.

LOL - most of the newer "music" is only loosely even music, if you get right down to it. It's just a bunch of words with a beat.

Thing that gets on my nerves is when people mistake Millennials for
Generation Z


Generation X: Born 1965-1980 (38-53 years old)

Millennials: Born 1981-1996 (22-37 years old)

Generation Z: Born 1997-Present (0-21 years old)

Don't ever mistakes me for that Special Ed Mumble Rap Generation.

Yep me too.

Know lots that do.

Isn't it obvious? The younger generation of today PREFERS music from the 70, 80's, & 90's than they do the current garbage that tries to pass as music today. My theory: HUMAN BEINGS PREFER NON-EVIL, INNOCENT (IN COMPARISON) MUSIC OF YESTERYEAR THAN THE DEMONIC & NASTY, ILLUMINAZI-CONTROLLED, GARBAGE SOUNDS OF TODAY, A NEW STUDY REVEALS:

Millennials prefer music from 20th century ‘golden age’ to the pop of today, research suggests

Research has suggested that modern music really isn’t as good as the old classics. A study has found that golden oldies stick in millennials’ minds far more than the relatively bland, homogenous pop of today.

A golden age of popular music lasted from the 1960s to the 1990s, academics claimed. Songs from this era proved to be much more memorable than tunes released in the 21st century. Music from the vinyl era is still very popular among young people Scientists tested a group of millennials on their ability to recognise hit records from different decades.

The 643 participants, typically aged 18 to 25, maintained a steady memory of top tunes that came out between 1960 and 1999. In contrast, their memory of 21st-century songs from 2000 to 2015 – while higher overall – diminished rapidly over time.

Lead researcher Dr Pascal Wallisch, from New York University in the US, said: ‘The 1960s to 1990s was a special time in music, reflected by a steady recognition of pieces of that era-even by today’s millennials.’ During this period songs reaching the top of the US Billboard charts were significantly more varied than they were between 2000 to 2015, or the 1940s and 1950s, said the scientists. Even so, certain songs were far more memorable than others, the study found.

Well known examples included ‘When a Man Loves a Woman’ by Percy Sledge (1966), ‘Baby Come Back’ by Player (1977) and ‘The Tide is High’ by Blondie (1980). Others, including ‘Knock Three Times’ by Dawn (1970), ‘I’m Sorry’ by John Denver (1975) and ‘Truly’ by Lionel Richie (1982) were all but forgotten.

Songs selected for the study included those that reached number one on the Billboard Top 100 between 1940 and 1957, and the top slot on the Billboard ‘Hot 100’ from 1958 to 2015.

They're Right You Know

People just need talent, ability and a smidge of originality to come up with new music. There was a man that worked in the patent office that quit his job during a slow period. He said the same thing, that all the good inventions had been invented and there was nothing left.
That was in 1924 after the invention of the amplitude modulated radio.
C'mon, there are plenty of ways to arrange and play music. There are more instruments available now for unique sounds. We just need to turn off the tv and get the kids back to real world activity.
Want to know why bands like the Beatles and the Who, the Stones and Cream became stars?
For the money. It was either hit the big time or hit the time clock in some greasy factory.
Look up a Tony Iommi interview- he cut his fingers off working in sheet metal before they went full time with the band.
We spoil the modern kids so much they aren't motivated to innovate.
Jimmy Hendrix had a career, blew everyone's minds and died at the age of 27.
27.
Would Jimmy come out with new tunes today? No sweat.
He had the talent and the ability, put in the hours of endless practice and promoted himself.
No lame excuses are going to fly.
The music sucks because we have stifled creativity and wrapped everyone in bubble wrap.

Yep me too.
