20th century Top 40 music to the mid-2000s is better than stuff after that to today. Who agrees?
Who agrees with me that today's Hip-hop, R&B, Dance, Techno, "Pop," and Rap should not be considered Pop Music or Top 40 music. While there were and are still Country cross-overs and Country-Pop, etc. Country still has its own stations while Rap and similar stuff has dominated Pop/Top 40 stations for over a decade and get to have their own stations too like having their cake and getting to eat it too.
While each decade is dramatically different than the next after 2004 or 2005 everything that was supposedly Pop and Top 40 started sounding no so much like music anymore and many songs like lack good lyrics, rhythm, harmony, melody, etc.
Of course this is my opinion. I was born in the early 80s and grew up in the 90s as well but also enjoy songs, artists, and styles from the 70s and late 60s and a few things from the 50s and early 60s and early 2000s. I find songs here and there throughout the 2000s and 2010s I like. I like Adele, Pharell Williams, some Pink, some of Lady Gaga (not all) and some retro sounding stuff from this decade and the last.
I know everyone loves the decade or decades they grew up in and thinks the later ones and possibly previous ones suck but I like everything that was before me and I really do think most of the Pop/Top 40 from the 2000s and this decade REALLY DO SUCK in style, talent, artists, etc. There are some artists with good voices like Rihanna who have a few good songs but I think the majority of her songs would sound better with better lyrics and different styles for example.
Just because it's a new decade doesn't mean they have to change too much or do away with all the old styles, etc. if they were good and people still enjoy it. I miss the Folk-Pop as well of the late 90s like Shawn Colvin's Sunny Came Home and Country-Pop from LeAnn Rimes, Faith Hill, and Shania Twain, and stuff from Spice Girls and all the boy bands, and Bitch and What Would Happen by Meredith Brooks, and Jewel, Sheryl Crow, Madonna, and many more. The 80s was certainly a great and unique decade in music while the 90s especially late 90s had a lot of eclectic styles (numerous styles on one station!). Mid to late 1996 through 2000 was favorites of the 90s.
Adele's Rolling in the Deep song could fit into any decade of music.
