A question I ponder often as a father of a 2yo. It made me reflect upon my own childhood memories. I'd imagine it's almost like remembering a dream... I believe you remember moments, flashes and the general color of things figuratively speaking. However I firmly believe that depending on if it is positive or negative it will lay the base for your future interests.. e.g. how you feel about being in nature in this case

Absolutely. Even our pets remember or at least associate joy and fear and other emotions from past experiences their whole lives. So it makes sense that tiny humans would as well, even if they don't distinctly remember the specifics

My kids are now 11 & 13 and don’t remember the drives and hikes, but they love nature and have a warm glow when they think of their early years. Not sure if that applies to everyone.

#1 I don't think it's the music styles that shows how old you are (I think it's all valid art, some I like, some I don't - from every era and style). Still listening to the radio - that shows your age. I work in radio and even I don't listen anymore.

#1 honestly it's encouraging that music has changed enough to bother people of my generation. It would be worrisome if culture was so stagnant that it stayed firmly in millennials' comfort zone. And if you dislike it, ask yourself why? Does it sound too artificial and emotionally deadened? Maybe those are the same qualities younger generations like; maybe it fits our current cultural moment better than whatever it is you're nostalgic for

No, you just associated good memories with those songs and now you're too lost in being an adult to form new ones.

Honestly, it’s the lack of actual musical talent by about 85% of new music “performers” (the other 15% are “artists”). You could pull a stranger off the street, give them audio studio “sweetening”, a stylist wardrobe, and a social media manager - another of today’s musical stars are born!

I mean if they want to rap, let them rap. Why do they gotta use auto tune to make it sound like they’re singing when they clearly aren’t. It sounds like trash. That last one the guy had a super annoying nasally voice. At the risk of sounding like my parents right now, this generations music suuuuucks.

I just think autotune is a crime against humanity.

The likes of Spotify have given us so much access to any music we want that it's difficult for new artists to break into the market in any big way because they're competing with the entire back catalogue. Only the stuff with the broadest appeal and marketing behind it can even get heard. It takes effort to find anything else so only the kids really into their music listen to niche tracks.

2 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

I've had the opposite experience - I'm old and I basically didn't listen to music at all for 15 years because I was tired of the old stuff and hated the new stuff. Then I got a spotify account and it found me a bunch of modern, less mainstream artists that appeal to me as well as my teenagers.

Back when I was a teenager, I was into hardcore techno and didn't think the next generation could possibly listen to anything that'd be intolerable for me. Trap, the whole mumble scene, and drift phonk sure proved me wrong.

I mean, I find a lot of the radio hits to be rubbish now, even more so than in the 90s. I kind of agree with #1's assessment. But I also love a lot of new and younger artists that aren't radio stars. Things are better in that regard at least, that we aren't stuck with what the radio or MTV gives us. That's probably why I don't listen to a lot of my 90s favs, except for the occasional nostalgia vibes. Newer artists that I love, I imagine I will be loving them a lot longer.

Then explain why Drake is popular? He can't sing worth a shit and yet there are emulations all over. The video... funny as it is... has a ring of truth. I can't listen to the hip hop stations anymore. It's all this...shit.

I'm 40 and listen to a lot of new music, especially rap and hip hop. The mumble rap phenomena was real and was really bad. Fetty Wap and onwards was trash. Drake is mostly trash. Their has been GREAT hip hop in the past 10 years that have a _similar_ style but WAY better lyricism, e.g was listening to Mac Miller last night, RIP.

People also forget how shit most of the music actually was. I don't mean just for our generation but every generation. Only the good stuff sticks around. Comparing the average of now to the greatest hits of the last several decades is both silly and weird.

Songs about Statutory Rape, Drugs, Alcohol, and Cars - 70's. Songs about cocaine, having fun, and easy money - 80's. Songs about how shitty life is because your parents blew all their money on cocaine and divorced - 90's. Songs about how fun life can be with or without drugs but drugs do tend to help - 2000's.

Yep, and that has been true of all generations. So many people think of the 60s and 70s as the golden age of music, but there were a lot more songs that were just plain bad. Record labeld routinely released albums with two or three single-worthy songs surrounded by eight or nine other tracks that were just filler.

I remember multiple instances of having to buy whole albums to get the one song that was getting airplay only to discover the rest of the album was boring.

That's something we're going to see a lot less of - the more we move towards purchasing single songs and streaming only what's popular, the less the not-so-popular songs will be heard. Fewer albums, more singles.
