Do younger generations look at music from the 90s the same way we look at music from the 50s?

nirvana is dad rock now

>>127336220 (OP)
'50s music was already an ancient relic by the time the mid-'60s rolled in. subsequent generations are still going to be interested in '90s popular music for a very long time.

>>127336238
Sure, but so they like it, appreciate it? Or is it just a weird old thing that no one actually listens to for enjoyment? I've never put doowop or whatever on in my car to jam out

>>127336255
Well, good

No, retard Pepe frog. Here’s the common sense I’m applying:
>in the ‘90s it was incredibly rare to hear a ‘50s track
>it is now incredibly common hearing a ‘90s track

>>127336220 (OP)
They view the 90s like the 90s viewed the 70s.

>>127336270
probably because music has stagnated since then or at least since the 2000s

>>127336270
So maybe if we had just heard 50s music then we would like it

Are you guys retarded or just old? I feel like I'm having a stroke

>>127336320
Say something smart then, genius young guy

>we look at the 50s

Plenty of good jazz, country, and rock n roll from the 50s

>>127336238
No. Linkin Park is dad rock now, boomer.

>>127336220 (OP)
Like something really cool?
I don't think so.

Who in the hell is "we"

Japanese looking at music from who now?

Imagine dragons is dad rock now, grandpa

I have seen so many zoomers wearing Nirvana shirts and I just know they've never listened to a second of their music

>>127338076
Your assumption might be valid with joy division, but literally everyone has listened to nirvana at some point. Its peak normiecore lmao

>>127336220 (OP)
zoomers consume music in a completely different way than millennials did when we were young

I don't get it

>>127336220 (OP)
>Do younger generations look at music from the 90s the same way we look at music from the 50s?

Nah because of the primitive recording technology the production shows its age so music from the 50s basically always sounded old as fuck, it would sound dated within a few years.

Music production peaked in the 90's so stuff from that era still sounds fresh and vibrant today. The days of a band spending a million dollars and taking an entire year to record an album in a luxury studio with a famous producer are over. No one gets those kind of budgets anymore because there's no way to make the money back.

For music, it's literally fucking over.

>>127336220 (OP)
i cant imagine anyone with ears who would think polvo is equivalent to frankie valli in any capacity
im sure theres plenty of retards that literally only listen to gay top 40s shit released in the past 10yrs. and tho i struggle to see why such ppl would even be here in the first place, its certainly not a new/modern phenomenon

Clearly not, we've had cultural stagnation since 2000. And likely forever since there will be immortality in our lifetimes.

>>127338246
judging from the data, it seems like the objectively inferior to do it

>>127339169
The "data" huh

>>127339209
yea the aggregate of all of you faggots inane posts simping over generic pop thot #9076
thats "the data"

you can stop now btw. we have more than enough data to make the call. your entire existence is a detriment to everyone around you, and the way you cons00m music is objectively and provably (via the data) wrong

>>127339279
no that's not "the data"

Gen z perceive Coldplay how millennials perceived U2, same with Radiohead and Pink Floyd. Those two are pretty direct comparisons.

Also interesting how the Beatles don't have the same uncoolness for gen Z that they did for millennials, primarily because the parents of millennials liked the Beatles. gen Z parents like Oasis, RHCP, the Killers etc so bands from the 60s like the Beatles are like new discoveries since they weren't told to like them by mom and dad

ARE YOU TRYING TO SUMMON THE MITCH MILLER SCHIZO?

>>127336270
What are you talking about? You dont remember oldies stations that played 50s and 60s music in the 90s?

>>127336255
50s blues music was the crux of every important mid 60s band

>>127340702
>What are you talking about? You dont remember oldies stations that played 50s and 60s music in the 90s?

By the 90s those were a very standardized Clear Channel playlist with the same 50 or so songs on them.

>>127336270
There was a big rockabilly revival in the 80s and 90s thoughbeit

>>127340674
?

>>127340834
A schizo (or schizos since it could be multiple anons) who posts rants about 50s housewife pop.

Say it's 1984. Well, 30 years ago was 1954 and this. It sounded absolutely ancient, corny, and dated.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Le0b0qmrA4E

But today 1995 was 30 years ago which brings us to...Korn and Manson? That has far more edge than anything out today. Big difference.

>>127340646
That's a fair observation, the Beatles thing. I remember trying to learn how to play guitar as a teenager in the 90s and being frustrated all my boomer teacher wanted to do was play Beatles songs. I wanted to play Marilyn Manson and Pantera, not this lame 60s pop shit my parents listened to.

>>127336270
>it is now incredibly common hearing a ‘90s track
where?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oIZ6dCggDPo

Sounded pretty twee and outdated by the 90s, no?

>>127342410
if it had been 1967 you'd be complaining that your music teacher wanted you to play Hoagy Carmichael tunes or something, so..

>>127336220 (OP)
no i don't wear a The Platters t shirt and pretend im all about doo wop music

>>127340646

the beatles havent been cool since 1969

Yes, the 90’s were 30 years ago, that was a long time ago get over it

>>127336220 (OP)
I'm 23 so I'm not sure I count, but a lot of my favorite songs are from the late 90s/mid 90s
How do "you look at music from the 50s"?
>>127340646
There's certainly aspects of this but it varies from parents to parents, ones who are overbearing instead of just keeping their musical tastes to themselves will probably cause you to hate shit.
I found out my dad loved ELO to death like 3 years ago when I said I enjoyed their albums, I had no inkling prior. Hell I didn't even know he collected vinyls back in the day.
>>127338076
Nirvana is like the Austin 3:16/nWo of music t-shirts, dude.

>>127346119
>greta van fleet
they are a gay band. people dropped them when they came out as faggots

>>127346255
>How do "you look at music from the 50s"?
What exactly does that mean though?

>>127346273
Actually gay or just gay to collect USAID bucks?

>>127346274
What did OP mean by that

>>127346298
We don't know what he meant, that's why we asked.

>>127336256
I hate Nirvana but I like tons of music from that time and way earlier. The year in which a piece of music was released does not matter to me whatsoever.

>>127336256
I'm Gen Z and Nirvana used to be my favorite band in highschool. Bought the 20th anniversary edition of In Utero when it came out

>>127338076
I keep seeing random foreigners wearing Nirvana shirts too. Do black Hispanic young people really listen to Nirvana? Or is it literally just a trend to wear their shirts? Weird

50s songs are rough and primitive but have an unpolished charm to them. That's kind of lost in the 90s where everything sounds so massive, super slick, and super-polished. Mariah Carey doesn't exactly sound human compared to any 50s pop girl, you wonder if she's not an android.

>>127340852
How the fuck did people listen to music in the 50's? Like, why? Who is this for? It's weird, because I listen to music all the time, but if I were alive in the 50's, I can't imagine listening to music at all.

Also, what's with that weird style of singing from the 50's where a man and a woman would be singing the same exact vocal line without even harmonizing? It makes me want to drive a fucking semi truck through a nursing home.

>>127346406
>How the fuck did people listen to music in the 50's?
On the radio or on a turntable I assume.

>>127346406
I don't think anyone would use that particular record as a high point of 50s music.

>>127346406
>Who is this for?

50s housewives to listen to in the background as they're doing the dishes.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QLOqTIRMEmM

>>127346516
But again I can't imagine what the audience for this shit was or who would possibly subject themselves to it.

Always love hearing young people talk authoritatively about a past they never lived.
>>127336270
>in the ‘90s it was incredibly rare to hear a ‘50s track
No it wasn't. It is now though because 50's/early 60's got replaced by boomer classic rock. 90's music prevails because it was the last decade when pop culture was centralized and ubiquitous, before the decline of radio.
>>127340646
>Gen z perceive Coldplay how millennials perceived U2
Millennials perceived them that way too. Coldplay sucks dick.
>Radiohead
Radiohead is just out of fashion. Gen Alpha or the next generation will probably pick them up to piss off the zoomers.
>Also interesting how the Beatles don't have the same uncoolness for gen Z that they did for millennials
Also untrue. The Beatles get repackaged for consumption every ten years or so. For older millennials it was the Anthology, for younger millennials it was Beatles One and that terrible Across the Universe movie. The idea that the Beatles weren't popular with older millennials is especially absurd, because a lot of millennials were deep into frat boy hippie revival.
>>127340852
>.Korn and Manson? That has far more edge than anything out today
Another big difference? That shit was considered corny in its day.

>>127346618
>It is now though because 50's/early 60's got replaced by boomer classic rock.

As I think anon said it all got condensed into a standard Clear Channel 50s-early 60s playlist with about 50 songs on it. So you never hear >>127346516 or >>127340852 though back in the 80s before Clear Channel playlists you might.

>>127346406
>How the fuck did people listen to music in the 50's?
the radio

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=muV5_M6cBGE

>>127346662
This chick went into Broadway shortly after this song that sounds like a rehearsal for it.

>>127346633
It's also because a lot of the people that listened to that music are dead. Which brings up another reason why older music music reigns today: Our population skews older.

>>127346633
Whatever songs rock critics decided were cool and made the canon, which did not include Eileen Rodgers.

>>127346593
10 year olds and their moms.

Younger people still think the 90s is cool for whatever reason. 50s shit was dusty as fuck in the 90s. I don't think 90s shit sounds quite as retro, pop culture in general largely stalled out and entered an ourobouros of bullshit at some point in the 2000s. Hell, they're still aping some 80s sounds and aesthetics in modern music. Plus a lot of 50s music would have been ultra corny and safe sounding while some 90s shit still sounds loud and edgy. The recording quality also hasn't changed as much from the 90s until now, compared to between the 50s and the 90s.

>>127346852
>>127346584
Hell, this sounds more advanced than anything Swift or the Scientology midget did.

>>127346852
>Younger people still think the 90s is cool for whatever reason.
The 90's were cool, although you can't really grasp it through nostalgia culture. The 80's were even cooler, but again, shit like Stranger Things does it no real justice. It's all an echo of a memory at this point.

understand that the Beatles and Dylan radically reshaped popular music forever. music in the 50s was still vaudeville entertainment mostly about the performance and art, politics, having a "message" etc hadn't yet arrived.

>>127346991
>art, politics, having a "message" etc hadn't yet arrived
That's why it was better.

>>127347022
that wasn't a commentary about the quality of anything, just a remark about how radically everything shifted in the 60s which is why everything before that time became antiquated overnight

>>127347050
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Q5WV_L_rg4

It was still half-folk music in a lot of ways, music that could have been played at any club or barroom. nobody had yet conceived of a slick megabucks product like Mariah Carey's albums that could only exist in an LA studio.
