The instant availability to all music ever made has eliminated the effort required to discover lesser known artists. It used to be somewhat of a lifestyle that required effort to do, and was often seen as pretentious, but now everybody does it without batting an eye or even thinking about it. The concept of larger-than-life music stars, while not dead, is also dying out because of this. Music artists also no longer have to try to align with certain sounds to get heard, and the result is that there's honestly more good, quality music being made now than there ever has been.

But, despite all of this, and I don't care if this makes me sound old, by far the most prevalent sound in pop culture today is auto-tuned mumble rap and this baffles me to no end. It can't possibly get much lazier or low effort than this.

Throwing off the shadow of a better man.
Really liked the output from Jonna Lee (iamamiwhoami/ionnalee), especially the Blue album. The two Ladytron albums of the decade were alright, but didn't hold a loving candle to Witching Hour as far as I was concerned, even combined. nine inch nails killed it with Less Than, but the rest of the EP it was on (and the one before it) was weird ambient-experiment novelties. There were some pretty great singles stretched across the decade, but they were diamonds scattered across a minefield of soullessly engineered audio.

One of the other goons turned me on to the Witch House genre in a thread about aesthetics that I can't find now, and I spent about a year straight listening to nothing but that, especially Crow Cvlt.

It wasn't my favorite decade, but it was far from terrible.

Good things about music from the 2010s:

1) Musicians don't make any money from recordings so everybody tours relentlessly. Music that used to come around once every three years seems to be coming around every six months.
2) Bandsintown and stuff like that make it much, much easier to actually know when things you like are going to be within driving distance.
3) It is easier than ever to listen to a new record every day and live your life completely ignorant of mass-culture music. I have never heard Uptown Road.

Bad things about music from the 2010s:

1) Musicians don't make any money from recordings so more and more new artists are well-off kids who can afford to be musicians in their 20s.
2) Musicans making music that seems expressly designed for its afterlife of movie trailers and car commercials.

Agreed 100%. I stopped going to concerts in the 90's. Then a friend dragged me to a show in 2011 and it reminded me how much I love live music. I signed up for all the concert calendar emails after that, and have seen tons of great shows since. Some of my new favorite bands who most people have never heard of, I've seen 4 or 5 times in the last few years. But yeah, there's a downside.

You just have to hunt for it, and latch on when you hear it. I found one of my favorite '10s bands from hearing them piped in to a department store. Chasing songs from movies, TV show soundtracks, and the "people who listen to this also listen to" thing on Amazon have led to dozens of great discoveries for me.

Music is life.

discovering vaporwave, then futurefunk / new retro / synthwave has been pretty incredible

also darkwave / new goth / whatever the gently caress you call Drab Majesty (thanks goth music thread from a while back)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xwgrdQf9OYE

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yqn9fXzYWoo

we are living in an unbelievably good time for new music, the barriers to entry / exposure are practically nonexistant and there's just so much good stuff being made all the time now

Also the best concert I have ever been to was seeing Carpenter Brut live during the Leather Teeth tour, holy poo poo

Seeing this live (in Seattle, not Paris) the crowd went insane, it was such a cool moment - everyone was singing along and the energy was incredible

Synthwave tried to emulate the 80s and it ended up just being a drumtraks and Juno with its arpeggiator on hold

Still fun music though. This decade might not necessarily have the best music, but the accessibility it brought outweighs any bad.

I mostly just listen to the same old poo poo from forever ago, but there's newer stuff that I like a lot. I've been kinda obsessed with Daughter since the Before the Storm soundtrack. Some Anna Von Hausswolff, a little Soft Kill, Chromatics has been putting out some good poo poo. 2010-2020 was a hell of a lot better than 2000-2010.

I miss #nmp3s. Their year end roundups were awesome for catching up on what came out in the year, in a way I haven't found any other site equal to.

Overall, I've found this decade pretty depressing, with very little coming out after 2016 that I cared for. The 80s nostalgia all over the place in particular is driving me nuts, since I hated all that the first time around. I'm hoping that in the next decade I learn about the good stuff that's currently flying under my radar.

Also spanish rap/trap from the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico has been loving phenomenal. Disregard the super popular stuff like Despacito, which I will admit did elevate rap/trap and reggaeton to levels I've never seen before, there has been a ton of collaborations and creativity flowing from people who've basically come from nothing that wouldn't have happened if it wasn't for the internet.

poo poo, I remember what it was like 15 years ago in the Dominican Republic where influences from outside of that island were extremely rare and usually came from people that had enough money to easily travel between countries. The poo poo that Dominican youths are making now are intense on how creative they are using the influences the internet brought them. Sure, that brings a lot of derivative content but there is a ton of poo poo that's been great.
