Thread 215784800

Why did Britoids stop making good music? Most of the great classic rock bands were British and most of the good 80’s Synth pop and New Wave was British then the 90’s hit and they just fell off of a cliff. What happened culturally to cause this?

marxism socialism and everything related

rap happened obviously. rap was an asteroid smashing into the music industry.

In the early 90's the rave scene happened and everyone was doing E and making insanely boring dance music that was easy for drugged up mongs to dance to, then Brit pop happened which was good but it looked back rather than forward which isn't good for a culture. Then we had some good music things in the 90's like Trip hop and Drum and Bass but they never captured the culture assigning a lifestyle, aesethic and imagine to their genres like rock and hip hop did.

In the 2000's american hip hop utterly dominated and became the new cool genre with it's own lifestyle, aesethic, fashion, slang etc and it simply can't be remixed by Brits like other Americans because the culture is so centred on low class black american ghetto scumbaggery. Now we have a massive second generation immigrant population with an identity crisis who larp as black yanks but no one is going to play along with them.

I also think stuff like ageing population and less nightlife has had an effect too, so a bunch of things.

90s was a great decade for british music

Music is forbidden in Islam

Maybe in the UK but not in terms of export, British 90s music is basically remembered as wonderwall and the spice girls

>>215785388
The Prodigy?

>>215784800 (OP)
The Sisters of Mercy are what the ’80s in British music mean to me.

>>215785388
i don't care what foreigners think
massive attack were better and more influential than 90% of the dad rock constantly lauded over

>>215785540
british music in the 80s was so op, tears for fears depeche mode, the police, duran duran, kate bush, the smiths, dire straights, the eurythmics, new order, joy division, siouxsie and the banshees, the cure, the cocteau twins, queen i was an amazing time

>>215785740
>2 good songs
>more influential than 90% of the dad rock

>>215785388
your post wasnt about export, it was about quality
the most popular music globally from the 2000s to the present day was complete dogshit
as far as british music in the 90s goes youve already had some examples: slowdive, prodigy, stereolab. to add to that, blur, radiohead, pulp, MBV, are all good

if your question was "Why did Britoids stop making globally popular music?" well this post >>215785118 is a good answer

>>215785819
>2 good songs
lolno

>>215785854
go one then give us all these good massive attack songs apart from teardrops and angel

>>215785877
Unfinished Sympathy is better than both

>>215785877
blue lines and mezzanine are both 10/10 albums
unfinished sympathy was one of the best songs of the 90s

>>215785877

I really like this song, you can hear them trying to blend all the sounds of the time to make something unique.

It's also cool hearing them rap Britishly without doing a Caribbean accent, the failure of trip hop to become a proper cultural force was a great lost opportunity

Come on lads massive attack were so fucking good who ever fucked up their marketing/branding should be ashamed.

Portishead are better than Massive Attack anyway sooo

British music in the 2000s onwards is grime and drill m8

Mark Fisher (rip) has a theory on it:

part of a wider cultural stand still

How about Europe gets off their arse and makes some good music, we've done our bit

>>215786218
They can't do anything except shitty europop
Except the skandis who have 474737 black metal bands per capita

>>215786211

Because they were on the wrong side of WW. Simple as. You can make up all kinds of reasons, it will always loop back to that original reason. Or should I say "treason".

Britain would be a homogenous empire today with 300 million people and a great music industry if they accepted Hitlers generous terms.

They chose to be Americas bitch, instead of being Germany's queen. A tale as old as time.

TRVKE. The 80s were the peak for British music, people aren't ready to accept it yet.
