There's something so awful about super "corporate friendly" content. Popular 2010s music was so family friendly and bland, and that's why it hurts so much. That Justin Timberlake song, the Chainsmokers song, they hit the same part of my brain that is activated when I watch an ad.
exactly, they don't stand for anything in particular and are very "correct" so it really feels very corporate souless advertising, because you could really slap it onto ANY product and it would work.
2010s was when every mainstream "rock" band (what's left of them) had to switch to a one-man stomp-clap radio pop project, with the rest of the band being just unknown accessories for the music video.
@@Wailmur these are the band I would've named :D Fall out boy also, with "Centuries". And don't forget that this was the decade when Imagine Dragons became mainstream
2010s for me will always be the decade where mainstream rock went from loud and aggressive to cage the elephant, Imagine Dragons, 21 pilots, Portugal the man. And that weird folk era where Lumineers and Mumford and Sons were big for two years. 2020s haven't been much better for mainstream rock
Even though I like 21 pilots, I agree, the mainstream rock basically threw away the guitars and did either synths or folk. And they all had to be anthemic. I like some of those songs, but it was a bummer.
Rock is either mainstream pop and peddled by the major labels and played endlessly on the radio, or it is raw, underground and not radio-friendly. We as a society need to more accepting of underground stuff otherwise things will never change
Pick up an issue of Razorcake or check out their stuff online, pretty much every niche genre and sub-genre of rock music is absolutely thriving in the underground, it's just a matter of knowing where to look!
White girls did. Hip hop was starting to get too scary with guys like Bobby Shmurda and drill rappers made mainstream hip hop too taboo. Also, corporations are more and more scared of offending anyone, so if they play music, they want it to be as neutral as possible. This has always been the general style, but they've become too scared of the twitter mob. We want to hear something edgy once in a while. Elevator music should only be played in elevators.
As a professional wedding guitarist, I can assure you that Uptown Funk is one of the first five songs of the night, in the very first dance set right after speeches, and right before dinner. And yes it slaps every single time. Grandma and grandpa know it as well as the kids do without fail.
As an elder millenial, my pop culture peaked in 05' when Avenged went to number 1 on TRL. After that quite a few of us just dropped off from radio / anything popular and just started figuring out responsibilities. Gotta talk to the younger millenials for anything 2010s. The older / younger millenial divide is real 😂
That older half, younger half divide is always a thing I think. I'm around Finn's age and I think there was a musical divide with Gen X too. Generalizing a bit of course & ignoring some more niche sub-cultures/genres but the older half were into 80s hair metal & the younger half the alternative bands that blew up in the early 90s.
@@ahorsewithnoname773I was part of that very small GenX group that liked all the 80s stuff from early MTV but also liked all the 90s stuff too. I checked out popular music wise in the late 00s.
“Closer” is sung in super boring, narrow vocal ranges so that the average person can sing along. Also that’s why Taylor Swift is so big. Mid recognizes mid.
Bizarre story I have about weddings and Uptown Funk - friend of mine got married, and at his wedding when the DJ played this song, one of the guests dislocated her knee on the dancefloor.
@mtaylorknowles. I agree, but most of the 00’s sucked as well The 00’s started off good an then by mid 2004 it really started to decline Music from 2004 to 2016 was fucking atrocious . Music had a really good 14 year run from 1990 to 2004 and then it’s been a shit show ever since.
@@PuttinOnTheRiffs I completely agree with you on that. I’m personally a young/late millennial, I was born in the mid 90’s. But yeah when the bands that started in the 90’s stopped putting out really good stuff in 00’s, that was when the 00’s started to decline real bad. 2000 to 2004 was good. 2004 to 2010 was awful.
I started college in 2010, and I just remember being the guy on campus jamming ADTR/A7X, as far as popular music goes. It wasn't long before I started to hear Mumford & Sons playing on the local rock station. And more just like it followed. Hipsters popped up, listening to this type of music. I couldn't believe my friends liked that stuff, or why/how it replaced pretty much everything "rock."
yeah thats what i truly miss the most about the 2010's was the spinnin records everyone trying to do EDM or be club music kinda thing, that was fun. for every boring boom clap indie song there was a banger EDM track somewhere to be found
@@gx1tar1er I'll always defend Skrillex though, I think he's one of the greatest electronic artists of all time. Even if you hate what he did to dubstep, you at least have to acknowledge his talent. Maybe it shouldn't have been called dubstep, but it's too little to late for that.
Yeah tracks like “Cry me a river”, “What goes around/comes around”, “Summer Love”…,even as a X-ennial rock/alternative fan who was raised on hating all things Boy Band, those tracks were hot. Justin Timberland really wore out his welcome by the 2010’s though.
Being from the UK I did not think Range Rover during chainsmokers. I was thinking some clapped out old Rover from the mid 90'a thats held together by duct tape, and has terrible MPG and awful emmissions but they got a real good deal on it and cant afford upgrade because theyre still waiting on that post-grad job opportunity. Thats the vibe I get.
2010s was actually very special to me, cuz i spent my late teens and 20s. 18-28. I got married @ 29, I'm 32 now, and all my great memories were from the 2010s
We also got prime Kendrick drake and jcole, Young thug, posty, 2016XXL, Peak EDM, peak Quentin Tarantino and Nolan, no viruses and woke culture, rise of youtube content creators, Peak UFC, No wars on a big scale, millenial parents aka our beloved boomers were younger and healthier, so many other good stuffs
I'd say late 2010s Soundcloud eap, mumble rap, emo rap, trap is more early Gen Z or the trail end of Millennial (Post Malone, Lil Peep, Lil Uzi Vert, Playboi Carti, Ski Mask the Slump God were born in between 95-96).
Gotta admit, the succession from Uptown Funk to Metallica maps my music journey pretty well, when Uptown Funk was popular, I was 12 and I liked the song, like any other 12 year old, Minecraft, dubstep, Gangam Style and Uptown Funk was the shit then 4 years later, so 2 years after this Metallica song came out, I was getting into metal and this was one of the first songs I remember being into.
@@user-fx6tp3gs8s I feel like music died after 2008. Trap Music started coming in heavy causing rock to fade. Pop began to blend in, and ever since. Nothing has been the same. Some music is good, don’t get me wrong. The overload of auto tune makes my ears bleed. No authenticity whatsoever it’s sad.
@@rnbsinger119yeah I agree. Early 2010s were the point where pop music and rap basically became the same thing, weakening both styles. Rock music went on the deline due to lack of new ideas. Everything became bland and homogeneous
Get Low gives me flashbacks to my 6th grade dance. Like twenty minutes in the DJ noticed all the kids were wearing G-Unit shirts and Air Force Ones and he switched from 90s high school dance R and B to insanely explicit rap and reggae. Timberlake is an Xennial so he's just as much your problem.
Literally only knew the Justin Timberlake song, as pop from about 2005 forward hasn't been on my radar. That Timberlake video is awkward, and the movie was worse, but my 5-year-old (now 12) just loved it and couldn't get enough. That's a great memory!
The 2010s was the decade the NWOTHM gained momentum - bands like Visigoth and Eternal Champion started getting big and renewed interest in Traditional Heavy Metal for a whole new generation. Great decade for MANY reasons and that was just one!
That chainsmoker song just gave me the odd sensation that being at my worst stage of addiction to hard drugs in the 2010’s wasn’t all bad. I mean I did lose the last years with my grandma before Alzheimer’s got her, but I didn’t have to hear that song so… you win some you lose some.
2010’s were corny and cringe but I’d take anything from that whole decade over any 2020’s mainstream bullshit. Music has gotten so fucking bad in my opinion. Mainstream/popular music in 2010’s in general is better than 2020’s.
I still wait anxiously for the drop in "Roses" so I can move my shoulders like a bridesmaid stuck at the table talking to grandparents when she would rather be on the floor.
Unironically, less than 5 minutes after watching this video the Justin Timberlake song came on at my job. This shit is inescapable even a decade later 😭
i will tell you one time in the past couple years i missed corny 2010s music at a wedding was when i was at this wedding that only had a live swing band, like great way to flex your hobby literally no one else did.
I was at a white people wedding yesterday and the Bruno Mars song litteratly came on at the exact time Finn described, right after that Pharell happy song and followed by Usher - Yeah, which is ofcourse when its time to really start turning up ♥️
Think Get Low was awkward at a white person wedding. My wifes cousins wedding featured WAP as per request of the bride, and this was only about 2/3rds through, so theres still daylight and the kids are knee sliding on the floor. Yeh. That was a moment.
Coincidentally (or not), the 2010's is when I wasn't that much into music anymore. Weird, because music was pretty much my whole identity up to that point. Thank you to the millennials for making me grow up and find myself, I guess.
As a millenial, I haven't heard everything of the 2010s decade cause I was so into classical music as a child so I've only heard the mainstream songs on the radio between 2014 until 2019 probably. 2018 is the year that I actually started to listen music outside of the radio, so I don't have enough information.
During the first half of 2007, I was going to a satellite branch of a state College near my home. During this time, I would often turn a pop, rock, or alternative station on the radio by choice. I thought the music was pretty good. When I moved onto the main campus of the college I attended at the end of the summer of 2007, I remember turning on the radio almost immediately. After flipping through various stations throughout my first week or two there and not finding anything interesting , I turned it off never to listen to it again by Choice. Through 2019, most music I heard I found to be boring, Lacking an effort, or cheap sounding. I don’t know if it was age, or if I actually heard a good song, but in 2019 I decided to start following music again. I still did not listen to the radio to follow music trends. Instead, I kept up with the current trends through various music critics, friend recommendations, or watching various music charts. A fair number of songs I heard I found myself appreciating. However, not enough to turn back on the radio, because while I found some music appreciable, I also found it to be derivative or a pale imitation of music from the 2000s or earlier.
I really liked the 2010s. 1989 era Taylor swift, The Weeknd, die Antwoord. Hell even the first Mumford and sons and of monsters and men were great. Rest of the “stomp clamp” not so much. Even the two carly Rae jepson albums of emotion and dedication were fucking awesome. However, bands like imagine dragons and chainsmokers were god fucking awful.
There were good music, from EDM like Avicii, Calvin Harris etc..and from indie scene like Angus and Julia Stone, Arcade Fire, Mumford & Sons....Good bubblegum pop from Katy Perry, Lady Gaga etc and not to mention Great DnB and Dubstep.....but since the mainstream theme back then was lets get drunk and party till the sun comes up, all the good music get buried in with pile of corny music..
My mom used to play 'cant stop the feeling' every Saturday morning for three years with speakers that would shake the floor as a way to wake me and my siblings up.
You gotta listen to that Timberlake song thru the ears of a 4 year old daughter. As a father, I can’t be mad at that song. It’s hard to find age appropriate pop music and she loves that song. 🤷🏻♂️
my class in high school had a sacred trilogy to party: moves like jagger, sexy and i know it and rain on me (by one and only mr worldwide). can't tell if they're bad, have some good memories linked to them
The first half of the 2010’s were 80’s level of cheese. The second half of the 2010’s problem was there was nothing to talk about in music. When Obama was president the music was reaching 80’s music in the UK levels of bad.
Dont know one single millenial IRL whos into 2010s stuff, the oldest person maybe is my GFs younger sibling whos the ultimate zoomer (born 99)... Early 00s are the true peak of millenial culture, 90s as far as kid just kid culture
Metallicas last REAL album was Justice….. just the way it is. But if I want to actually MetallicA play there own covers songs, I have to go see them. And I’m really glad that we still can. Good shit.
I'll defend up until about 2012 (not a millennial just passionate about music, '97). I stopped listening to the radio by then and mainstream music. I let new interesting music find me after that. I got mad nostalgia for 50s-80s rock and '90-'07 club music and rap lately so i figure another decade I'll feel a bit nostalgic for 2010s.
2010s pop was the epitome of commercialized pop music, and fashion was getting so bland. I don’t remember the 2010s fondly, mostly the post hardcore/pop punk/metalcore stuff I held onto from that era.
God, my daughter was OBSESSED with the Trolls movie and Can’t Stop The Feeling. Back when I used to purchase DVD’s, she would constantly play the song OVER AND OVER AND OVER again 😂 It’s a strange one cause I have all these sweet memories of her being a toddler singing and dancing along, but I hate that f*cking song.
It's all a cycle. Right now it's not far enough in the past that we are coming around to it yet. Currently, people are becoming nostalgic to late 90's and 2000's music. Give it 5-10 years and the 2010's will have it's comeback.
I have applied Papa Finn's Butt Balm to my Milleni-hole and agree those songs suck. However, I'd put to you that Gen X also endured some musical turds, so maybe listen to them next? Thank you for the laughs.
Lol regarding the Bruno Mars song, I have mostly listened to it via a YTP by CS188, and the beginning goes "There's sh*t in that a*hole, Michelle's whiping a truckload", and the real song sounded wrong.
You're not allowed to blame the millennials for Can't Stop the Feeling, that one is all Gen Z. It was the soundtrack to trolls movie and a song for children.
i dont remember a single millennial listening to the charts back then, it was always youtube, so that just left x and boomers to listen, hence the corn
MGK was the only good musician to come out of the 2010s. MGK bless MGK on this fine day MGK created, along with the guitar, music, and nuclear fission.
You know in uptown funk when he goes this here for them good girls them hood girls them masterpieces… I always imagine him saying “nasty hoes” instead of masterpieces and it just makes the song sound better
In the 2010s, everything started to become an ad, including every song that aimed for airplay. Every song was made by X featuring Y. It hasn't stopped. The end times started with Chris Brown becoming successful.
Recently realized that zoomers still dont have a single band at the success level that paramore hit in the 2007-2012 era. I think Millenials were the last generation putting in the real work as a team before everyone started to go solo...Im also going to have to say that the most exciting thing to come out in the 2010's was the soundcloud emo trap stuff the younger guys were doing, that was a great wave. Also, you can miss me with all that watered down indie Mac demarco / Clairo stuff too, really mid era for rock and indie unfortunately.
Last thing: mustache finger, i THINK, was actually started by a friend of Pete Wentz back in like 2005. He got it and then it popped off a few years later as a result.
you should listen to Halsey's album If I Can't Have Love.. - produced by Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross. i think its her best work to date, should have won a grammy for best alt pop album and i overall think halsey fits so much better into the alt scene, rather than her mainstream pop songs. her song Experiment On Me was produced by Bring Me The Horizon and i wish she explore a sound like that even more.
2010s best era of KPop, JRock, and resurrection of dance, trance, and house, tons of great guitar music still, country was pretty too, the best Swiffer music, vaporwave, and chiptunes. Yes bro country and Macklemore tho.
2010… when, if you had a tat, you had ONE tattoo. It was upper back, lower back, forearm, or front shoulder. Lol and now if you have tats, youre COVERED, or you dont have any.
The bass line on the Justin Timberlake song is really good. If I remember right they put it through a wah on one channel and recorded it straight on the other. It’s a good sounding bass
That Chainsmokers song always bothered me! Like, no… a guy having a car payment he can’t afford is NOT a turn on. Show me that fiscal responsibility, baby!

i will tell you one time in the past couple years i missed corny 2010s music at a wedding was when i was at this wedding that only had a live swing band, like great way to flex your hobby literally no one else did.
I was at a white people wedding yesterday and the Bruno Mars song litteratly came on at the exact time Finn described, right after that Pharell happy song and followed by Usher - Yeah, which is ofcourse when its time to really start turning up ♥️
Think Get Low was awkward at a white person wedding. My wifes cousins wedding featured WAP as per request of the bride, and this was only about 2/3rds through, so theres still daylight and the kids are knee sliding on the floor. Yeh. That was a moment.
Coincidentally (or not), the 2010's is when I wasn't that much into music anymore. Weird, because music was pretty much my whole identity up to that point. Thank you to the millennials for making me grow up and find myself, I guess.
I'll only defend the 2010s in one regard: everything really is better w/ bacon
That first song is the definition of compressed. Yesterday I was listening to AC/DC Back in Black wondering what happened to music.
As a millenial, I haven't heard everything of the 2010s decade cause I was so into classical music as a child so I've only heard the mainstream songs on the radio between 2014 until 2019 probably.
2018 is the year that I actually started to listen music outside of the radio, so I don't have enough information.
During the first half of 2007, I was going to a satellite branch of a state College near my home. During this time, I would often turn a pop, rock, or alternative station on the radio by choice. I thought the music was pretty good. When I moved onto the main campus of the college I attended at the end of the summer of 2007, I remember turning on the radio almost immediately. After flipping through various stations throughout my first week or two there and not finding anything interesting , I turned it off never to listen to it again by Choice. Through 2019, most music I heard I found to be boring, Lacking an effort, or cheap sounding. I don’t know if it was age, or if I actually heard a good song, but in 2019 I decided to start following music again. I still did not listen to the radio to follow music trends. Instead, I kept up with the current trends through various music critics, friend recommendations, or watching various music charts. A fair number of songs I heard I found myself appreciating. However, not enough to turn back on the radio, because while I found some music appreciable, I also found it to be derivative or a pale imitation of music from the 2000s or earlier.
I really liked the 2010s. 1989 era Taylor swift, The Weeknd, die Antwoord. Hell even the first Mumford and sons and of monsters and men were great. Rest of the “stomp clamp” not so much. Even the two carly Rae jepson albums of emotion and dedication were fucking awesome.
However, bands like imagine dragons and chainsmokers were god fucking awful.
There were good music, from EDM like Avicii, Calvin Harris etc..and from indie scene like Angus and Julia Stone, Arcade Fire, Mumford & Sons....Good bubblegum pop from Katy Perry, Lady Gaga etc and not to mention Great DnB and Dubstep.....but since the mainstream theme back then was lets get drunk and party till the sun comes up, all the good music get buried in with pile of corny music..
@@arunashamal pretty lights and Griz was so damn good
Orange juice
My mom used to play 'cant stop the feeling' every Saturday morning for three years with speakers that would shake the floor as a way to wake me and my siblings up.
Agreed 2010s were sh1t
In the 2000s there were many songs that gave cringe, but the 2010s surpassed it by far, I say that as a millennial.
You gotta listen to that Timberlake song thru the ears of a 4 year old daughter. As a father, I can’t be mad at that song. It’s hard to find age appropriate pop music and she loves that song. 🤷🏻♂️
I do look fondly back upon 2016. The entire internet and TH-cam were so much better. We weren't allowed to have nice things.
my class in high school had a sacred trilogy to party: moves like jagger, sexy and i know it and rain on me (by one and only mr worldwide). can't tell if they're bad, have some good memories linked to them
I non-ironically like early chainsmokers. Their remix of Dreaming by Small Pools is fantastic. Also roses is a great song. Idc what people say lol
The first half of the 2010’s were 80’s level of cheese. The second half of the 2010’s problem was there was nothing to talk about in music.
When Obama was president the music was reaching 80’s music in the UK levels of bad.
Please start a future video by hitting us with a "Hey Dudes Are You Ready To?" We would appreciate that a lot.
Dont know one single millenial IRL whos into 2010s stuff, the oldest person maybe is my GFs younger sibling whos the ultimate zoomer (born 99)...
Early 00s are the true peak of millenial culture, 90s as far as kid just kid culture
Metallicas last REAL album was Justice….. just the way it is. But if I want to actually MetallicA play there own covers songs, I have to go see them. And I’m really glad that we still can. Good shit.
Ellie Goulding, Charli XCX, The 1975 are the only people who did good shit in amongst the hellscape of 2010s cheesiness
I'll defend up until about 2012 (not a millennial just passionate about music, '97). I stopped listening to the radio by then and mainstream music. I let new interesting music find me after that.
I got mad nostalgia for 50s-80s rock and '90-'07 club music and rap lately so i figure another decade I'll feel a bit nostalgic for 2010s.
2010s pop was the epitome of commercialized pop music, and fashion was getting so bland. I don’t remember the 2010s fondly, mostly the post hardcore/pop punk/metalcore stuff I held onto from that era.
2010s music sucked! me and my friends were listening to emo 2000s stuff in high school, not this top 40 garbage!
God, my daughter was OBSESSED with the Trolls movie and Can’t Stop The Feeling. Back when I used to purchase DVD’s, she would constantly play the song OVER AND OVER AND OVER again 😂
It’s a strange one cause I have all these sweet memories of her being a toddler singing and dancing along, but I hate that f*cking song.
It's all a cycle. Right now it's not far enough in the past that we are coming around to it yet. Currently, people are becoming nostalgic to late 90's and 2000's music. Give it 5-10 years and the 2010's will have it's comeback.
I have applied Papa Finn's Butt Balm to my Milleni-hole and agree those songs suck.
However, I'd put to you that Gen X also endured some musical turds, so maybe listen to them next?
Thank you for the laughs.
That synthetic clap sound in the Stomp Clap style still haunts me.
Halsey was just diagnose with Cancer...
Lol regarding the Bruno Mars song, I have mostly listened to it via a YTP by CS188, and the beginning goes "There's sh*t in that a*hole, Michelle's whiping a truckload", and the real song sounded wrong.
You're not allowed to blame the millennials for Can't Stop the Feeling, that one is all Gen Z. It was the soundtrack to trolls movie and a song for children.
i dont remember a single millennial listening to the charts back then, it was always youtube, so that just left x and boomers to listen, hence the corn
I'd always catch Uptown Funk on the radio midway through and used to think it was Nelly in the verses.
MGK was the only good musician to come out of the 2010s. MGK bless MGK on this fine day MGK created, along with the guitar, music, and nuclear fission.
You know in uptown funk when he goes this here for them good girls them hood girls them masterpieces…
I always imagine him saying “nasty hoes” instead of masterpieces and it just makes the song sound better
In the 2010s, everything started to become an ad, including every song that aimed for airplay. Every song was made by X featuring Y.
It hasn't stopped. The end times started with Chris Brown becoming successful.
I remember a “Punk Goes” cover of Closer I 100% thought was way better 😂
Recently realized that zoomers still dont have a single band at the success level that paramore hit in the 2007-2012 era. I think Millenials were the last generation putting in the real work as a team before everyone started to go solo...Im also going to have to say that the most exciting thing to come out in the 2010's was the soundcloud emo trap stuff the younger guys were doing, that was a great wave. Also, you can miss me with all that watered down indie Mac demarco / Clairo stuff too, really mid era for rock and indie unfortunately.
It was hard being a teenager in the 2010s. Music was Ass. Need a part 2 of this please.
As a millennial, I’m not responsible for any of this. I didn’t even like this stuff. 😂
Last thing: mustache finger, i THINK, was actually started by a friend of Pete Wentz back in like 2005. He got it and then it popped off a few years later as a result.
you should listen to Halsey's album If I Can't Have Love.. - produced by Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross. i think its her best work to date, should have won a grammy for best alt pop album and i overall think halsey fits so much better into the alt scene, rather than her mainstream pop songs. her song Experiment On Me was produced by Bring Me The Horizon and i wish she explore a sound like that even more.
I remember when these synths actually sounded kinda good, but now going back to them they’re absolute garbage
Now I’m gonna make samples of toys and make trap/death metal with it….
2010s best era of KPop, JRock, and resurrection of dance, trance, and house, tons of great guitar music still, country was pretty too, the best Swiffer music, vaporwave, and chiptunes.
Yes bro country and Macklemore tho.
I unironically still like the electronic future bass sound we got from Flume. It holds up today
I was out on most pop music by 2016, im not sure what happened but almost everything became so unmemorable, more dark and serious
Pop stopped being cool in 2016 and mainstream changed to mumble rap
2010… when, if you had a tat, you had ONE tattoo. It was upper back, lower back, forearm, or front shoulder. Lol and now if you have tats, youre COVERED, or you dont have any.
I want that fit that Bruno Mars has though, so I wear it to the co-op to buy my almond milk.
I abandoned metal for dubstep in the 2010s what was wrong with me
Daft Punk dropped their final album in 2013. 😢
It’s too early for 2010’s nostalgia.
An idea for a drinking game. Watch a series of Finn's videos and take a shot every time he says "I wouldn't chose to listen to this"
Me: Sees this video and adds uptown funk to my wedding Playlist.
How often do you “dance in the banana aisle”?
The bass line on the Justin Timberlake song is really good. If I remember right they put it through a wah on one channel and recorded it straight on the other. It’s a good sounding bass
I just realised Finn sometimes sounds a bit like Morty (Rick & Morty). When he extends words it comes out and when he’s going off on a tangent lmao
If uptown funk comes on the radio in the car im turning the volume up !!
That Chainsmokers song always bothered me! Like, no… a guy having a car payment he can’t afford is NOT a turn on. Show me that fiscal responsibility, baby!
They played that damn Timberlake song in orientation video at my job, I knew exactly the people was about to deal with.
Aaaawwww f@ck, FUN, MNGMNT, hipsters, blurred lines, bluegrass, shit “slaps”, bruno mars, pastel colors, what a nightmare
