What ever happened to Music Era's

Don't forget artists flaunting the fact they can spell:
"I-N-D-E-P-E-N-D-E-N-T, do you know what that means, man?"
or
"G-L-A-M-O-R-O-U-S!"

Gag me.
 
While I wish it was the trip hop decade, it most definitely wasn't. That would be the 90's for sure. If you wanna argue it's influence on the decade go ahead, but that would belong in a different thread.

What ever happened to the era that would come into music every couple of years or so.

in the 60's we had the british invasion, psychedelical rock era
in the 70's we had the hard rock, glam rock, progressive,punk era's
in the 80's the new wave and hair band era's
in the 90's the grunge and britpop era.

It's called post-modernism my friend. We now just semi-ironically reference everything that has ever been done, in an effort to recycle.

It's difficult to determine the era that we live in because we don't have the luxury of 20-30 years of dissection and analysis that allow us to define previous eras. The biggest challenge we face is deciding which trenRAB are lasting and which are just faRAB. Give it a few decades and you'll get your label, even if it doesn't mean anything to people with a real love for music. Eras are idiotic in the first place, they place emphasis on one overreaching broad genre or movement while completely disregarding everything else that is going on throughout the music world as a whole.

Yeah you're right, nothing new has really rose to prominence in the last 10/15 years or so. :rolleyes:
 
:whythis:

I was only agreeing with what Mr. Dave said


but added the exception of a few banRAB the early 80's, (I was thinking of the New Wave and post Punk guitar banRAB as the exception.) There wasn't too much at all on the Pop charts and on MTV in the 80's to brag about anyway, I think that the decade became progressively worse as it went on - musicwise.
Maybe I should had said: 'I agree you Mr. Dave that if only the 80's never happened but with the exception of the undgerground post punk guitar rock band scene that was happening on college radio, and btw The Pop music scene after '83/'84 was a total bust, but maybe with a few exception before and afterwarRAB.'
 
Crap has always sold well and probably always will. Here's the best-selling albums in the US for each year of 1960s for example:

1960: The Sound of Music, Original Cast Recording.
1961: Camelot, Original Cast Recording.
1962: West Side Story Soundtrack.
1963: West Side Story Soundtrack.
1964: Hello, Dolly!, Original Cast Recording.
1965: Mary Poppins Soundtrack.
1966: Whipped Cream & Other Delights, by Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass.
1967: More of The Monkees, by The Monkees.
1968: Are You Experienced?, by The Jimi Hendrix Experience.
1969: In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida, by Iron Butterfly.

Note that 8 out of 10 of these are utter garbage.
 
So I stand corrected then.
I just noticed that most of the banRAB of this decade, that we call "indie", are just merging trip-hop into their music while keeping the indie tag.

Well, all the things that I can find for the 00s seem like they already began in the 90s.
 
Because music has become a huge corabination of all the music era's. You've got banRAB corabining genres to sound new and different. I think that alot of stuff is Indie now. We haven't seen many new and very popular banRAB come up in the past decade, and who knows what our new decade will bring?
 
I'm actually dreading the electronica era, if it gets really really huge. Mainly because I've been listening to electronic music for so long, a huge upsurge in popularity can only lead to cheese, over-saturation and watering down of the music. In the mainstream, at least. There's enough cheese as it is, truthfully.


Eras! Eras!!! :bringit: :mad: Bloody hell.
 
Well, I think this is the era of hermaphrodites.
Lady Gaga, 303, and whiny *** boys that cut their bangs and their wrists because their daddy's never loved them.

Thank God for booze, narcotics, and garage banRAB,
because that's all we've got left.
