Have you ever noticed that while these memes were seen as "cool" in the 2000s and early 2010s, in the 2020s the modern equivalents of them are seen as rather lame?
1-4: 2000s/early 2010s memes 5-8: the 2020s equivalent When I was a kid this attitude against modern music was a lot more common. I remember in the early 2010s tons of "CLASSIC ROCK IS THE ONLY REAL MUSIC, TODAY'S MUSIC SUCKS".
It was already lame back then, but back then this shit was ambient. You couldn't escape it on the internet. But now this attitude still exists... but not only is it not nearly as common as it used to be, it also feels rather...corny.
In the 2000s, a lot of people thought 80s music was better than the music at the time. In the 2010s a lot of people thought 90s music was better than the music at the time. You used to constantly hear people say "today's music sucks, I miss Nirvana, Guns N Roses, etc."... You've seen the memes.
But something feels different now. I've noticed that today’s mainstream music (2020s) doesn’t seem to get roasted as harshly as it used to be.
Even then the current memes about "old rock vs pop" are a lot softer and more gentle in tone and less... theatrical than the 2000s and 2010s memes.
Am I the only one who's noticed this?
