Definitive proof that the '00s were the worst decade ever ever

[MRT144]

It isn't the first good song on the list, but it is listed roughly 32 spots too low.


There quite simply are not 13 better songs from the last decade better than "Crazy". **** YOU, THERE AREN'T, YOU ARE WRONG VH-1.

Liked the NIN version better.

[MRT144]

Hurt is a Nine inch Nails cover, the original song is from around 1994

Hey ya is a good song, but yes, a rather horrible list.
The last year I enjoyed mainstream music was 1998, and that year was the year in which of dozens of formerly successful alternative rock musicians put out albums which were commercial failures. In the late 90s maintream music changed.

I put myself at 98 too.

I call BS on your comment or you're lying about your age. You were supposedly only 11 in 1998. No way would your statement make sense given your age.

Similar response to MRT. You were a freshman in high school, MRT. I highly doubt you were that much of an old man at 15.

Mariah Carey number 1? Ohh Yeahh!

I dont know, I havent really enjoyed music made since then. At least popular music.

[Al B. Sure!]

It's the opposite for me. I go back and listen to my old CDs from the 90's and I'm like "what the ****? I don't remember this much cursing and gangsterism". It sounds so bad compared to the direction rap has gone since then.

In a decade, mainstream rap has gone from this:


to this:


All the hate on Kanye West but I honestly think Kanye West showed the record company bigwigs that it's okay for a rapper to not be gangsta and opened up the doors to all the modern rappers.

[MRT144]

I was always interested in local rap, never really mainstream rap. So YMMV on that point.

[Provost Harrison]

That's a pretty damning list, I must say...

My Age and birthday day are not real, that is why I never answer when someone here makes a happy birthday barnabas thread, it is not my birthday

I was pretty much the same age as MRT, I don't understand why it would not make sense is his case or mine? Normally when people are teenagers that is the time in which they follow mainstream music more intensely

I watched a lot of MTV in 1994-1995, back in those days MTV would play Bjork's Its all so quiet video regularly, to give you an example of something that would be unthinkable nowadays, not only because MTV nowadays would nevr play a Bjork video, but also because nowadays they almost don't play videos anymore.

To give you an example of how much music changed around 1998, in 1997 popular female soloists were Alanis Morrissete, Fiona Apple and Jewel, in 1999, popular female soloists were Brtiney and Christina.
And rock bands have never recovered the dominance they had in the 90s with grunge and alternative rock.

[Lorizael]

I don't even like the songs on this list form the genres I enjoy. Ugh.

[Guynemer]

Liked the NIN version better.

You are objectively wrong.

I challenge you to a duel, sirrah.

53. Blink-182, “All the Small Things “

I believe was 1999.

[giblets]

Hip Hop of the 2000's could be characterized as two eras, that of before Kanye West and after. Kanye personified a dramatic shift in not only hip hop sound, but overall style. He is the split between the late 90's gangsta rap of the era of Ruff Ryders/'money, cash, hoes' and the modern, often college-educated, preppy (and I guess you could say hipster) rappers of today.

Wait, I though Kanye West was a college dropout.
