Poll: Music made after 1996

[MalevolentJim]

I voted the Green Day one.

Irrelevent, but true.

Indeed.I think it's also time for people to get over American Idiot.IT WAS RELEASED 6 YEARS AGO PEOPLE.MOVE ON!

But seriously,I have no time for nostalgia.Especially with people who complain about todays music scene being bad when they haven't been arsed to look hard enough to find good,newer music.

There sure as hell is good music today.Fantastic music in fact,you just have to look hard enough.

I actually quite liked American Idiot. I prefer Dookie, personally, but American Idiot was a great album.

Pretty much everything on my MP3 player (Bon Jovi aside) is post-1996.
Rise Against, Lostprophets, System of a Down...all fucking brilliant bands.

And I prefer new Green Day to old Green Day.

There is nothing more wrong with music after 1996 than before, and you are an idiot for suggesting otherwise.

 

[Nigh Invulnerable]

If you can't find any good post-1996 music then I can only assume that you are blind. If anything music has only gotten better, although it has evolved from the old stuff, maybe you should try and listen to something new rather than clinging to the type of music that has been done 100's of times and most people are bored with. Judging by what I can see of your music tastes, you should find "Between the Buried and me" to be far better than Rammstein. Though as far as music goes, that whole genre is lacking.

Agreed. Also, Rammstein? Really? Ministry is far better and has been doing it longer.

Really though, there will always be decent music from every year/era, all you need to do is look for it, OP, but I think maybe you've given up on that.

Am I to assume you're around my age, Soilent? Because I graduated high school in 1995 and generally believe that any music made after 1995 is complete crap. Except Dragonforce. I love Dragonforce. They're carrying the torch of 80s-style speed metal.

Hm, starting to see a pattern here... Maybe you guys should try to expand your tastes beyond metal?

If I did that I'd have to say that everything made after June 3, 1899 is crap. (you get a cookie if you figure out why I chose that date.)

It's not just metal. Classic rock died in 1991 when Nirvana's Nevermind came out, and if I were a few years older (or more than a few, like my stepfather) I'd probably say music died then. The era of the singer-songwriter died on my fourth birthday (July 16, 1981---another cookie's on offer for that one), and funk died when it all went synth or got covered by rappers in the early-mid 1980s.

For me to say 1995 is being generous (although I do loves me some Dragonforce.)

Still, to say there's no good music after 1995 except Dragonforce is a little close minded. If you don't like mainstream music that's one thing, but there are so many bands out there nowadays (even "retro" bands that adapt older styles) that you should be able to find something you like. The fact that some people apparently can't suggests to me that there's some sort of "anything made after 19XX automatically sucks" bias in play here.

And in my case, it's an openly admitted bias, one that I suspect just about everyone gets once they get past a certain age.

 

[atombeast707]

honestly its a crapshoot. i love the new death metal, or whatever genre, like as blood runs black or the devil wears prada, but if you steer into pop, you generally take a left turn into a town that is populated by lumps of shit.

 

[Shock and Awe]

It generally sucks, but of course there are good bands out there.

 

[Aerodynamic]

Seriously, people just sticking to one moment in time for music is just ignorant, There was crap back then, there is crap right now. If you can't find anything good, then don't think everything out now is bad, you are just obviously not looking in the right places, the radio is horrid now, look in independent record stores if you want something new and creative.

Well, I'm about the same age as you and I don't have that bias yet. Nor do my older friends or even my parents, and they grew up on classic rock.
