Comparing the hits, trends and popular music in general, do you prefer 2010-12 or 2020-22?

Early 20s for me.

Early 10s Hits Different For Me Personally, It's Probably Nostalgia But The Hits Seemed More Memorable

Early 2010s

Different genres was going crazy dropping banger after banger

Bruh stop these comparison threads you goddamn wannabe boomers

Early 10s

20s

Early 10s just was not a great era at all so 20s by default lol

Stephenasmithwhatdoyouthink.mp4

10s easily

genuinely cannot name a hit song from this decade besides what way 2 sexy?

No way this is even a debate lmao

Rockstar
The Box
Ballin
Knife Talk
Blinding Lights
Super Gremlin
Save Your Tears
Family Ties
Just Wanna Rock

Holy s*** The Box and Ballin were 2020

Pandemic really f***ed up my sense of time those songs feel like 2018 ass hits

Some heat up here

Interested to see how this decade plays out

Was heavy into indie s*** in 2010s so I avoided a lot of the bigger songs/artists

In retrospect a lot of fun music came out during that time but in terms of hits it wasn’t my favorite era

Musically 20s right now for pop.

Rap for 2010s.

Indie 10s, Electronic 20s, rock 20s

you talk hits and that's the first thing that comes to mind?

10s is the best decade of all time in music

10s wasn't 808s and trap heavy yet. songs weren't as cookie cutter as now either. and I think the mainstream non-rap was slightly better back then

def. more fun songs early 10s

20s suck
10s goated

2009 and 2019 should be included
That adds Miley, Billie, Jepsen, lil Nas x etc

Both trash but 10s easily clears

Pop radio has been horrendous for like 6-7 years now. Started going downhill after 2016.

Early 2010s pop was objectively great

Incredibly false especially in comparison to the 20's.

NIP, 6 Foot 7 Foot, Don't Like, HOWGH, and Swimming Pools alone are better than most hits of the 20's. That's not even touching on other genres.

Post pandemic pop charts are just the same 5 songs over and over except for the one week wonders that debut super high and then disappear a trace. 2020 was literally Blinding Lights against whatever new song dropped that week. The competition and variety from 2010-2012 was on a different level and that starts with the songwriting itself, which is all algorithm derived now.

FWIW I thought 2022 was the best year for music since 2016 so I'm not just hating to hate; mainstream pop and rap legit fell off.
