I didn't know where to put it in, so I made a thread here.
Few months ago I bought a 4 dvd set full of songs and albums from 90s to early 2007. It made me think that music in the 90s was so awesome, really great, while skipping tracks (chronoligical order) I found out that every next track has less power in it, uses elements from songs made before but kinda destroys the whole vibe, and most of all is not as deep and emotionally touching.
After that I went to the music store and bought few random 90's hits cds (I bought 4 cds for less than 15$
) and 2x 2006 greatest hits cds. I was simply shocked.. All those songs made in 90s were full of emotions, simply great. I just couldn't listen to 2006 songs after that. It's a sin to call it music. Some plastic bassy sounds, shitty hip-hop songs and shitty party hits.
Few weeks ago I also bought a 7cd set of 90s greatest hits, and few random albums from middle 90s (to check out if my love to 90s music is not created by my sentiment to songs I already knew and heard when I was growing up) and again I found out that those songs were simply great. No matter if they were party like songs or sad deep songs (they were especially amazing, probably best songs I ever heard) every song had someting deeper in it.
I came to a conclusion that no matter if it's Aerosmith, OFTB, 2pac, Goo Goo dolls or even Christina Aguilera or Backstreet boys those songs had something that made me like each one in it's own way. I swear I prefer listening to "Genie in a bottle" than 99% of songs I hear when I turn on mtv or radio or whatever. Songs these days became "plastic", without any emotions. I think even deepest songs today don't move your soul the way average songs did back in the days. It saddens me because I consider myself as amateur audiophile and with each day I lose hope that music industry will turn into a better way, when they'll focus on good music, instead of making weak songs for masses, that sound like plastic crap. And it's a disaster because whole music industry turned that way. No matter if you want to listen to new pop/hip-hop album or a new 2pac album or rock album, it's all the same.
I think my little experiment was worth that time, I want to hear other people's opinions as I'm not quite sure if my opinion is fair, or is it just based on my preferences and sentiments.
So is music plastic and empty of emotions these days?
