Description

The goodness of music depends on: Critical/audience reception, timbre/quality of the sound, the lyrical message, the success of the songs, the melodies and rhythms, so on and so forth.

@MisterChris

good luck countering the hearing damage argument.... *malicious laughter follows*

I'm bad at counting. There's only 1 song from 2010's in top 40, 2 in 40~80, and 1 in 80~120. Meaning 5 songs, out of 9 million*10

@seldiora

Well the 80s can be better than the 70s. The only thing needing proof is that the 20s suck compared to the 70s.

@seldiora

It's the overall trend in question... Obviously I can't fixate on 10 year increments so don't worry about that lol

-->
@MisterChris

I will cry if you go for a silly argument like I have to prove the 80s. Worse than 70 and 90s worse than 80s cuz you know that’s not the topic lol

If you could rap degeneracy and materialistic music videos, then I 100% agree. There are the good ones and the bad ones.

@seldiora

I will be taking this one, and do not fear, I will not be playing the almighty semantics card lol.

i agree

Say Overall, Music has Gotten Worse over the Last 50 years

Come up with a standard, and it would be pretty easy to plot the data points. From there just screenshot to show the trendline, and share the spreadsheet file (or show screenshots) for review.

Well that is to personal opinions. I guess I will stop farming by not taking this debate, but please specify what makes a music low quality.
