Will anything from the 2010's ever be called a classic? Why was this past decade so forgettable?

Metamodern sounds in country gusic is already a classic

Ultraviolence
Reflections
Have One On Me
On Your Own Love Again, Quiet Signs
The ArchAndroid

>every Holter album
dangerously based

Cause people started talking solo Female "songwriters" as poetry and "yuh nigga we gone shoot" music as the modern day equivalent of high sophistication.

are you fucking stupid? the 2010's has way more classics than the 00's lmao

Yes

Aviary is trash

It’s my favorite album

I'm convinced that no one actually likes the songs from TPAB, they just like the interludes and the ending.

Classics that people will actually continue to listen to because they’re enjoyable, meaning not blonde and tpab:

Channel Orange, GKMC, Teen Dream, The Suburbs, Body Talk, Let England Shake, Vulnicura, House of Balloons, Carrie & Lowell

Because it is impossible to make great art in the internet age. Or, perhaps more accurately, the people who are still capable of making truly great art have zero chance of becoming in any way popular during the internet age.

The standards of music have changed in the past decade. The albums that are not just most popular, but most acclaimed, all need to now have some sense of "memeability". They need to be able to appeal to mushy-brained Gen Z kids who want "memey" lyrics to quote and spam all over Facebook and Twitter. This is why artists like Kanye and Death Grips were so popular in the last decade, because they are basically "walking memes" who are constantly spouting stupid shit that the zoomers love and find funny.

Internet-age irony and post-irony has killed music as an art form. We've ended up at the point in 2020 where music is now being distilled down to simple Tiktok jingles that zoomers can make retarded videos to. Where will we be in a decade's time? In 2030 people probably won't even make albums anymore. We'll just have 1-to-2 minute songs of people just screaming "dank memes" and "pee pee poo poo" tier shit into a microphone over cacophonous noise and trap beats.

It might be a cliche to say it, but music is truly dead now. The internet has killed music. Gen Z killed music.

Mine too wtf, be my fren user

Man you're whining because all the best music isn't popular. What gives? Who cares? I've heard albums from this year that are contenders for some of the best I've ever heard, I don't give a fuck whether they're talked about or popular or not.

Most points you made are pretty valid, but the fact is that music is totally essential and inescapable to human life. It will always go on.

>I've heard albums from this year that are contenders for some of the best I've ever heard, I don't give a fuck whether they're talked about or popular or not.
Albums don't become classics if they're not popular.

Also, part of being a classic album involves having some kind of cultural influence, which involves popularity. It doesn't have to be immediate popularity (plenty of classic albums sold shit on release but had a prolonged impact over 10 or 20 years, making them classics), but there needs to be popularity at some point.

If you're content having your personal 10/10 all to yourself that you discovered in some dingy backwater of the internet, but that no one else will really listen to, then sure, that's fine. But for me, part of the excitement of music in the past was that great, truly groundbreaking albums used to get released all the time. AND they were popular! Maybe not "number 1 on the charts" popular, but they had followings and they influenced waves and waves of new artists.

Serious, thoughtful albums that changed the history of music used to be very popular. Now, all we have are "meme albums", which change nothing, they're just popular because zoomers think the lyrics or the sound is kinda funny, and they're acclaimed because Fantano/P4K said so.

Yeah I guess by OP's standards you might be right, maybe there are no more classic albums that are of the same quality as the classics from even the 00s. Regardless, the generation now will still grow up one day and another will replace them, and the cycle will repeat with totally new musical aesthetics and values. It's all just a great cycle.

I get that you enjoy the hype of new music, and that can be fun too.

It honestly is quite hard to imagine that many albums from 2016-19 will be considered classics, but even if that lasts another year or two that's still a pretty short timeframe. Think about how many of your favourite albums came from the mid to late 70s, probably not all that many unless for some reason you like the most boring punk.

We are frens now :)

Give 10-15 years when the contrarianism flips again.
