I'm talking about the music
Drake 2011-2015 was insane musically. He's good now but back then man Drizzy was just at a different level
agree 2015 was his peak musically
New gen is so bad
It's cool nowadays tbh. I think by the mid-20s we'll get another explosion
00s washes. Peak Ye, peak 50, peak Em, peak Jay, peak Usher, peak Luda, peak TI, peak Wayne, peak Jeezy, OutKast, Snoop, Cube etc..
Not to mention pop was top tier and rock had its last legs of mainstream success too. If anything the 10s are the decade with the least amount of timeless music. Pop dried up, rock is dead, rap is declining. Only this current decade looks on par
oldhead talk
Rock was in shambles after the year 2000. Nu Metal and Post-Grunge were some of the worst musical trends of all time lol
Peak Ye is 2010, peak Jay is 1996, peak OutKast is 96-98, Snoop was washed by the 2000s as was Cube
You got one with 50, Em, Usher, Luda, T.I., Wayne, and Jeezy. But 50 fell off by his sophomore album, Em fell off by 2004, Usher fell off by 2009, Luda fell off by 2009, T.I. fell off by 2009, Wayne was past his prime by 2009. Jeezy was still doing his thing though.
Mainstream R&B was weaker than Charmin Ultra during that period so I gotta take points away from it for that.
2001-2006 >>>

Rock was in a way better position in the 2000's than the 2010's. Like....it's not even close.
The album sales and hits reflect this. Linkin Park had one of the best selling albums of the 21st century lol.
And even kids on Tik Tok are appropriating the Pop Punk sound and aesthetic that was big in the 2000's.

2000s Rock was easily better than 90s and 2010s imo
i would say 07-12 is arguably stronger but yea
everything after 2016 has been on a noticeable decline
there’s always great music but i feel like there aren’t BIG songs like that anymore. like after the pandemic there aren’t BIG collabs or BIG studio singles like there used to be

past current and future game better than all of them
Beyonce's self-titled is her best album, Christina and Fergie were never all that, Continuum was cool but it's not holding up to the best from 2011-2016.
Back to Black, FutureSex/Love Sounds, and Loose are incredible albums but nobody was ever denying that the mid-2000s didn't have slaps. There's just more pop slaps between 2011-2016
Fam, I don't think you understand how huge Fergie and Christina was lmfaoooo
A bunch of pop fans would slap the s*** for that statement

True the 2000s probably edges out, but outside of my nostalgia, neither decade has barely any timeless albums, like maybe 15 timeless albums all together
Production and the whole digital sound just not holding up

Sure but rock in general fell off after 2000. Linkin Park are cool but they're not like an all-time great act
Mall Punk aside from early Green Day and Blink-182 generally sucks too

I lived through it lol. I remember them selling both albums in my Stop & Shop back in the day
They were big for their time but aren't like "best ever" material though. Kylie Minogue for example was washing them both during the same era, easily.
S*** Janet and Madonna were washing them
It’s crazy how much better the 20th century is
The Cold War changed a lot
We in the Hauntology era

90s and 10s r&b are way better lol
90s is self-explanatory
10s you have The Weeknd, Frank Ocean, SZA, Beyonce's prime, Solange, Kelela, Kali Uchis, Miguel, D'Angelo's comeback album, Bryson Tiller's debut, Anderson Paak, Jai Paul, etc. Not even close really.

That list just makes 2000 rnb look way better than the 2010s

And the craziest part is that I didn't mention the Big Elephant in the room
Sigh
