I'm sure it's obvious that Music has changed quite a lot during the past few years. We used to have people such as 2pac, Michael Jackson, Elton John, and so forth.
Nowdays, famous musicians are Nicki Minaj, Miley Cyrus, Iggy, Eminem, and so forth.
I'm curious; do you prefer music of this century, of the previous century? I know for sure that I'm placing my money on the previous generation, and for good reasons. Nowadays so many songs are sexual, obnoxious, and about dirty love(and whatnot). I prefer the times where music videos didn't need a bunch of fantasized women, sexual references, and a bunch of swearing just to be popular. Most music nowadays is meaningless anyways.
If you compare rappers as well, the most influential rapper last century was 2pac. Look at his raps. He actually rapped about important things. Nowadays "rappers" are trash. Perhaps eminem doesn't deserve hate, but even he doesn't rap about things 2pac did all the time.
For the rest of the genres, music is more like porn nowadays. A song can barely get attention if it doesn't have anything sexual in it.
Thoughts?
