Oh boy would’ve been more fitting

music in general doesn’t have a sound at the moment aside from jack antonoff factory beats that sound like 80s imitations (which has been happening for like a decade now). pop leeched off rap in the 2010s and had to look elsewhere once the X/Juice/Pop generation died early and left the sound lost for a few years. don’t wanna be the nigga talking about the death of monoculture but things rlly are more fractured than they’ve ever been

the wave this year with the mainstream starting to embrace alt-pop/pc music aesthetics feels like the first fresh fad in pop this whole decade and even then it’s cribbing from mid 2010s ideas

Neither does rock, indie, or metal

Hardcore kind of is coming together, edm is mainly riddim but outside that one sub genre it was only slap house for like 3 months during Covid

you're right its an amalgamation of other s***.

This isn't the rangers outta cali lol

The moment bieber was using 808s it was over

Is Atlanta trap not considered dominant anymore

It’s drill and Jersey club beats

bieber’s nigga album is actually lowkey his best so i give him a pass

miley on 24 is where i feel like things just became a free for all

Not dominant but it's still there barely

Gunna comes to mind

I guess it's really just him and Future now.

Not since we moved on from the Gunnas Lil Babys etc

I guess yall weren't a fan of Gunnas latest album lol.

Nah journals fire, was specifically talking about Yummy

neptune type beats are on the rise

we gon have the reminiscion era in 4k

Gonna be a sad day when it gets played out

Inevitable

It’s crazy how rage beats popped off right at the start of the decade and nearly half way through the 20s nothing has come to replace it

I agree, bring back the ring tone era

Yall just make up problems, do we need a dominant sound??

There’s like 5 sounds out rn at the same time. Pick one and stfu

aye dont do that lol

Gunna is at the point Lil Baby was at when he dropped It’s Only Me

He’s showed us all he can do

lazy take. gunna can tap into R&B, he’s hinted at it his last three projects. can also go introspective acoustic route if he wanted like on Punk. he’s got more options than Baby did at this point

what's the last non trap beat that was a real hit in hip hop (like top 40/actual single not from an album bomb)
