i will never understand the "2014 was bad" propaganda throughout wider online music discussion

like it's not like a 2010, 2015, 2016-type year, but it had some really good s*** nonetheless

op really implying that maroon 5 was dropping anything but absolute dogshit in 2014

but yea tbh last really good year was 2020

and niggas are gonna reply with a bunch of releases that are just OKAY, but think of what had already had dropped by last decade this time and now... it's no comparison lol

real

this summer's gonna hurt like a mother aha kinda went crazy tho

It was incredible

like if niggas are posting gunna and olivia rodrigo as the highlights of music this year

Imagine being the idiot who said that

🗣️

I’m not saying there weren’t good albums. If we had to compare it to other years in 2010s it looks weak tbh.

Thom Yorke
FKA twigs
Freddie
Q
Flying Lotus
Caribou
St. Vincent
Q
Azealia Banks
Alt-J

All great from 2014

2023 was a crazy year for music idk what y’all listen to but please expand your horizons

wym just add them songs to ur playlist

Every year is a good year in music. You've barely heard any of it.

Karol G too

My top 10 albums of the past month

Aesop Rock - Integrated Tech Solutions
Kevin Abstract - Blanket
DJ Heartstrings, Narciss - Why Can't We Live Forever?
G Jones - Paths
Butcher Brown - Solar Music
The American A***og Set - For Forever
Hailu Mergia - Pioneer Swing Works (Live)
Teenage Halloween - Till You Return
Short Fictions - Void Filler
Marnie Stern - The Comeback Kid

I still haven't even gotten to some of it.

Nah this year dope

Oddisee
Black milk
Little dragon
Jessy Lanza
All drop this yea

Heard none of those tbh maybe I’m sleeping

Feel like the proper title would’ve been the worst ever MAINSTREAM music year but I wanted to leave it open to interpretation to avoid a “not just mainstream it’s a bad year for music in general” comments just to end up with the opposite

But yeah it’s mostly the mainstream in shambles, grammy noms cemented that 2023 was a terrible year for the mainstream imo

big names been average af

Still, top 5 projects for me this year are (in no order)

• Lana
• Danny & Peggy
• Veeze
• Valee & Harry Fraud
• Lucki

Also Blackland Radio 4 Extended (the 30min mix on YouTube) is amazing
