    I don't think music is dead, I think media in general is fractured right now. Probably because the transition is happening where gen alpha will become the forefront for trends. (We're so cooked)

    i mean popular music fluctuates between happy and moody and it has been since the 50s. the happiness eventually gets boring, so more moody music gets popular until that's the dominant sound, but eventually that gets boring and it goes back

    With the way things have been since COVID (which i won't go into for the sake of keeping it short), i feel like people have given up on "the hot new stuff coming out" and are clinging to childhood nostalgia for dear life as their go-to "escape from the problems of the real world"

    LISTEN TO CHAPPELL ROAN!!! I can’t recommend her music enough if you want that super fun happy pop music that sounds similar to the 2010s stuff that was so great, but also modern enough that it doesn’t feel like she’s copying old music. I really think she might be the next big thing in this genre.

    2010s pop is great cause all the songs were about nothing but partying and having fun. Even without the childhood memories and the nostalgia (which to a lot of people are very important when it comes to the 2010s) it's simply fun music you put on to turn your mind off and feel good. No thoughts, just *HEY I JUST MET YOU*

    Pop is okay. It's still better than modern country. (RIP country man, 90s country is good). Though at least we are in the golden age of edm and other electronic genres. Genres like Artcore, Breakcore, Bass House, Future Bounce, Melodic Brostep (especially 2020-2021 for this genre), and some other much more enjoyable genres than the previous era of early brostep, bigroom, and glitch hop. Though RIP DnB man, it's gotten so commercialized as of recent.

    What you feel about 2010s, I fell about early 2000s Pop with 2008 being the teisting point of when the decline of pop music became evident. I think it is subjective for the most, even if with the 2008 crisis and some other coincidence (like the decline of iTuned and leter the rise of music streaming) something really changed in the concept of pop itself

    In my opinion Because of K-pop dominant the music right now, such as blackpink, bts….. people start to interest more to K-pop with dancing in the videos. And then the singers in pop music like Hollywood industry , they produce the songs, but not hit like old time, the views getting less, some music not even get pass 10M views. So all that superstars start to get less interest to make new songs, best songs like before.

    I really hate where modern pop is going, as it is trending towards a more cookie-cutter sound in general, but pop as a genre I think is a really good genre. And don't get me wrong, some recent pop songs have been bangers, it's just the general trend that's worrying.

    I agree the 202nd decsde(2011-20). The 201st(2001-10). Thr millennium was 2001 not 2000. If there was a year zero I would be born 1995 not 1996 and this year would be 2023 not 2024. I realize that the music is now boring and depressing like 90s music outside the 80s R&B of The Weeknd Ari and Sabrina Csrpenter and Chappell Roan or angst Olivia Rodrigo or somewhere in between both with Billie Eilish. Yet majority of pop music nowadays makes me feel that music is dead as it is depressing,boring,and manufactured than authentic. Coubtry and Alternstive Pop and 80s revival are the only genres booming as rock and hip-hops rap are declining. I feel that was music,TV and movies, anime/cartoons, and the internet as an adult compared to dial-up:broadband internet in thr 2000s or 201st decade(2001-10). Everything went downhill after 2010 with TV and Mivies slowly and the internet. 2020s social media is now becoming old. I personally try to keep up with things yet hate the change. As us esrly and mid 2Ks kids are now into full adulthood. We were promised thst the world would get better for technology and entertainment yet did not. We were promised that the future would be a better place yet it is not.
