Things about the 2000s you despise.

[Wayneguard]

In the US, our politics. This has been a terrible, terrible 10 years.

 

[TheRightToArmBears]

The slow decay of 3rd wave ska
Indie kids
Scene kids (more annoying than emos, because they're hyperactive)
The rise of Disney artists and crap films for 12 year olds
MTV becoming a true crock of shit
In recent years, Kerrang shittening up, and Scuzz is slowly going that way.

 

[DSK-]

MC'ing in Drum & Bass.

 

[BlumiereBleck]

communism....seriously 90's and 80's it died and now what the heck its back.

 

[Drexlor]

Music and pop culture. I wish I lived in the 80's, mostly for the music.

 

[darknight910]

Pretty much all of 2000's music sucked. Hopefully this decade will be better.

 

[Wes1180]

Generally people born between those years and most of the music too

The way things get overcomplicated and oversimplified, where it should be just simple and complex, respectively. I guess this will change by the end of 2020, as stuff will be constantly referred to as "shit".

 

[tehweave]

Reality TV!!!

I think we have a winner. I'll put in my own two cents and say "blockbuster movies" "oscar-winning movies" "generic rap, hip hop, pop, and rock music" and "anything EA has made."

Too far with the last one?

Wow you guys have managed to depress me and insult me, all in the one forum!
For all the people comlaining about music, The 00's has had some fucking class bands. think about it, The strokes?, Gorillaz,Arctic Monkeys, Daft punk,The white stripes and the list goes on. Also People compliaing about cartoons, Its just cause you dont see them in the same way you saw them as a child?

This thread is amusing. Rock music hasn't degraded. It has changed to fit a new demographic; rock music constantly does that to adjust to the new young generation. Sure, there's a lot of commercialized tripe, but every decade had that. This decade had a lot of good rock music as well.

Here here, rock music is still excellent. It's just you have to dig through a lot of indie and other crap to get there due to every band being able to have an internet presence. Plus, I'm really digging the post-hardcore bands that have emerged in the 00s (The Fall of Troy, Dance Gavin Dance). Then you have bands like The Mars Volta, that always blow me away. The Foo Fighters are still decent. Muse have declined in my eyes since the release of their new album though. I could still appreciate Black Holes and Revelations because it was an experimental album yet still sounded like Muse.

Okay, I'm ranting. Nonetheless, the rock music in this decade is fine. You just need to know where to look.

Thank you. Music may have had all those epic bands in previous decades, but we do still have good things if you look hard enough. Also what the hell happened to children's cartoons? Growing up in the 90's was great, now I can bear to watch any program, not because i'm older, but because they just aren't any good to watch anymore.

Video games have slowly gotten less fun for me sadly I'm finding myself rarely playing newly bought games more than once, and replaying all my older games several times before I get bored enough to buy a new game. Then the cycle repeats.

One last thing, and I know it's obvious and has been said already, but seriously. Twilight. It still puzzles me how that became popular.

To all those saying new music sucks, new popular music sucks.

We have White Stripes, Cage the Elephant, Children of Bodom*, Nonpoint, and some others.

*Yes, the started in '93, but they have more in the 2000s than the 90s.

 

[arcstone]

I think the whole emo thing will be one of those things that we'll look back at and ridicule in say, twenty years or so.

Much like the afro of the 70's and the hockey hairdo of the 80's.

 

[Tharwen]

Autotune. I fucking hate anything autotuned. There is no better way to confess a lack of singing talent.

 

[Hudson_sir_he's_Hicks]

The Simpsons - It used to be so brilliant, fresh, witty and now its just painful to watch (good job we have Futurama and South Park).

High School Musical - for unleashing Zac Ephron upon us

Glee - for ruining 'Don't Stop Believing' by Journey

Bankers - for thinking that lending money they didn't have to people who couldn't pay it back was a good idea

Lost - the biggest piece of bullshit I have ever seen

 

[teqrevisited]

Let's see...

The music, the films, chavs, politicians (no change here then), the job availability situation and the movement to abolish SATs tests over fears of 'pressurizing children too much'.

That's all I can think of at the moment.
