วีดีโอ

Today is Muzak...i will sing this to every artists today. The sound you make is muzak to my ears 😅

Everywhere at the End of Time, I officially classify, as the most terrifying and depressing collection of albums ever to be released.

Thank you for including Earth Song.❤

Your lack of Black Musicians and music is appalling and inexcusable.

This is the most cherry picked video I’ve ever seen

I agree with all of this.

Nostalgia is an illness

I think the IQ of the general population has fallen over the last 30 years or so that’s why they get into all this new music garbage

All this wrap and hip-hop takes no talent whatsoever

There is no music really past about 1995

Bohemian is a bad song that we have drilled into thinking it’s good

For me it is the 80s 90s and early 2000s that struck the right balance of modernity while also delivering stronger lyrics with good emotional impacts about serious topics. The 50s and 60s were campy music that put more emphasis on being light hearted than serious. The 70s were a rock focused decade with stand out performances from multiple rock artists. Now music is more often too derivative, the message lacks focus, the emotional impact is limited and the industry puts more focus on profit in the here and now instead of creating timeless classics that could get popular later on.

Man. I was born in the 2000’s. I remember sitting in the car with my parents, doing nothing. Just sitting there, bored with nothing to entertain us but the sound of the Beatles songs. Late night drives weren’t just filled with the repetitive yet some-what relaxing sound of a fast moving car at all. My dad loved the Beatles and still listens to them to this very day, and man, looking back on it now, I could listen to all of their albums 3 times over and if you’d ask, I’d do it again. Nowadays, it’s rare to find a musical gem. It’s just filled with repetitive mainstream garbage. The same thing over and over. It’s like they only make music to make a quick buck.

a fan of 50s-90s music and maybe a little alt rock between 2000 and 2010. but nothing later than that. great video, well said.

You people need to actually listen to modern music and albums instead of eating up whatever classic rock radio stations spoon feed you. This attitude towards anything new and this romanticization of the past is absolutely pathetic.

Well, obviously good things must come to an end...?

When I was in school for being a registered care aide our teacher told us how many of us in the class would get dementia, and the class fell morbidly silent as we all looked around a took a moment to digest that. Sidenote: I was feeding a resident the other day and the first song of Everywhere at the End of Time started to play on the music channel 😭 so hauntingly beautiful

Does Your Mother Know About Me ? by Bobby Taylor, Irma Jackson by Merle Haggard were just a few of the 60s acts that talked about interracial romance. Michael Jackson wasn't doing nothing new with Black Or White.

Sorry, but music started taking a nose dive in the 70s. Clown acts like Kiss and disco crap. The Beatles practically wiped out all the crap that was there before they arrived. Beatles did have happy songs, but Strawberry Fields, I Am the Walrus, and A Day In the Life were hardly "happy" songs. "Twist and Shout" was just a copy of the Isley Brothers.

*WHAT AN AZZHOLE.... YOU REDUCED MJ BLACK OR WHITE DOWN TO SOME BANAL PLY TO PUSH THE PREDISPOSITIONED RACE NARRATIVE!* YOU KNOW NOTHING

Should’ve included the 90’s in your intro but I agree with everything.

Is not that older music is better, it's just that good music doesn't top the charts anymore.

I'm 26 and my mom notes that even when I was around 10, one of my favorite songs in existence was and still is Imagine. I already barely listen to modern music and when I do, it's usually inspired by older music, like songs by Jack Stauber, Space Song by Beach House, Little Dark Age by MGMT, game soundtracks which are made to invoke a feeling, phonk which are heavily influenced by the sound of 90s rap and hip hop.

Its plethora of things that made good music in the past. Same with a plethora of things that make music bad now. You can never put your finger on one thing or another. Society affects music and vice versa. One thing is you can almost get tired of good music. Or perhaps take it for granted. Artists can take success for granted and put out substandard music . The old contractual obligations album. Pirating has changed music. Its always been there but in the 90s, it became the way most people consumed music so making the ability to make a living out of music so much more difficult. You could ho on all day. The sad thing is there doesnt seem to be any positive signs anywhere.

There is a bunch of factors. Most importantly, the survivor bias. Radio stations only play the greatest hits of past decades. They don´t play the crap. But there are actual factors that deteriorated music: Music of the past was made by hand, today by computer. That includes instruments and production techniques. In the olden days, there were some guys actually playing instruments and a guy in the mixing booth trying to make them all make sense by trial and error, moving sliders. That made every single recording unique. It started to go downhill with drum computers, synthesizers, sequencers and automated mixing boards. That gave us innovative music in the 80s, but the innovation wore off and we were left with repetitiveness and monotony. The introduction of antares auto-tune in '96 expanded that problem to the vocals. Internet, MP3 and streaming services are the nails to the coffin. Don´t get me wrong, there is still good music - you just can´t hear it anymore because of all that noise people call "music" nowadays.

Pff modern music of the 1960-80s... 🎩 I prefer the 1800s🧐 Better yet medieval music or stone age beat 🎉

Old skol music way better.

Thank you for acknowledging Michael's message in his music. His message is one of the reasons why I have been a fan for over 40 years.

I love old music, it has that charm that brings you nostalgia, new music sucks, and you're right it is repetitive, and like 70s, 80s, and 90s, sounds so good and you can keep listening to it.😊

TONE , MESSAGE AND SOUND !

3 years late to this video, but I am currently a 20-year-old college student and I have progressive values but I also like to joke that I was alive anytime during the early 1900s until the year I was born 2003. Music was just better back then. Even as far back as Victorian classical music, I would rather listen to that versus moderate instrumental techno sh!t lol. There are like five modern artists that I do genuinely love because I think they have genuine talent and want to learn about the craft of music but for the most part, it’s all crap in my opinion. The 50’s -80’s ESPECIALLY was the golden era

Imagine is literally the worst song in the world. And that is all down to the awful lyrics that paints a truly dystopian society in cure fluffy rainbows. There are rap videos about f-ing hoes with better morals.

1:32 you deliberately forgot the 50s music i mean 50s music were great too no doubt about it

I THInk it also has to do with the frequencies and certain chords that make you feel in some type a way. it used to be more vibrant and clear, now is more dumbing like it makes you not want to think any more. old music was angelical like.

Talent Hardwork Dedication Lyrics Tone Legends ❤

My version of fast paced beat with fun lyrics is bootleg by ccr

It's not btw

What about comparing music from 20 years ago to today, and how you could also make an argument that music from the 2000s was better than 2020s, kind of like how the 80s were thought of being better than the 2000s. You could also differentiate by genre. Like rap before vs rap now, rock before vs rock now, even orchestral music before vs now (like comparing classical with video game soundtrack), rather than just comparing mainstream now vs before mainstream.

New music is just decent and overrated as I hear people playing rap songs out loud about drugs, depression, and suicide as what many people just do. Music now is just making teenagers immature and millenials are the problem now that make the songs that we currently have. I can say that people born in the boomer-Gen x generations are the best singers.

4:43 This is just Communism tjough.

Micheal definitely was one of the best singers of all time hands down

Bach and Vivaldi is better of all of them right?

My grandma from my mom's side has Alzheimer's currently and she's almost through stage 3 and she looks terrible and she can barely remembers me she's skinny and she can't walk she mumbles and she's in a nursing home sadly

Spoiler alert...it isn't.😂

I'm from 2011 and I enjoy old music better

So I guess you don't like The Warning, Ghost, Band-Maid, Electric Callboy or are you just stuck in the past?

I search "why does new music suck" on TH-cam and I'm SO afraid that the truth is that I'm becoming an old man who can't get himself to care about bands that weren't active in my youth (so anything post-2010 better be a Linkin Park song or I just won't care about it.) But I feel like every new song I hear has some...thing... in common that makes them all feel either noisy or just pointless. On one hand you've got the same type of solo pop stars putting out a steady current of entirely forgettable but highly marketed drivel (as much as I liked Britney Spears, I can barely remember any of her songs either, so why'd I listen to Taylor Swift?) and on the other, you've got a bunch of rap music that seems ever more self-referential. Apparently Dre was a massive plagiarist but at least he had taste. There's SO much rap playing these days and I CAN'T EVEN TELL THE SONGS APART any more, and they're just vectors for slang I have no reason to try to understand and expressions of beef I couldn't imagine caring about. The only talent in rap I've noticed in the last 20 years is Lil Nas X (what's with every rapper being called "Lil", what happened to the original Nas, and for that matter, what happened to Lil Nases one through nine?)

peak pretentious bullshit tbh

i just commented something similar on another one of vid. i'm 55 and well remember life before the internet and my take on the slow disintegration of musical quality hasn't changed since the early 80's. basically rock n' roll / modern music was a limited medium to begin with and to say it has run its course is a gross understatement. when you really break it down by the end of the 70's perdy much everythang had already been done. early 80's onward is just various spins on stuff that has already been. the artistes of the 50's thru 70's were just too innovative and without intending to do so they fucked it fer future generations. part two of this act is when music videos became mandatory. mtv and its ilk. until then yer music truly had to stand on its own. aside from live performance there was NO VISUALS to go along with the music and so the tunes had to create all the dopamine and endorphins on their own. once you have a little mini movie to go along with it you have the greatest crutch available. yer music can be utterly mediocre but you can make a cool vid fer it and that will sell yer units for you. that also ushered in the era when the music industry and the movie industry were suddenly joined at the hip with the movie side being the dominant partner (they were entirely separate industries until then). the result was inevitable.

King Von better than everyone
