The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far.

I'll go to my grave saying that the period from about 1998-2005 was the worst period in music history. It was the highwater mark of record-label influence and commercialisation, when streaming obviously didn't exist, mp3s had yet to have an impact, you had to pay $20 for every CD you bought, every radio station played the same 12 songs endlessly on repeat, manufactured groups with focus-group tested levels of blandness dominated everything, and which left no defining marks or trends on the subsequent history of music. They say that fashion goes in circles, but absolutely no-one is going to be clamoring to hear Matchbox-20, Third Eye Blind, Nickelback, Kelly Clarkson or Evanescence ten years from now. Just utter poo poo.

Nah, I still hear the same unintelligible-grunt-as-emotional-release bands from 20-25 years ago just thriving on the local rock stations, not even in the context of the “classic” rock genre. Nickelback is going on tour, Creed is reuniting, people actually believe that David Draiman’s cover of “The Sound of Silence” is a pensive, sublime take on Simon & Garfunkel‘s classic. Buttrock is still the dominant subgenre of rock music and will never die.

I always thought that the cream was separated from the chaff over time, and that was why boomers always claimed that music was better back in the good old days, but this poo poo seems to be living forever. On the other hand, when it’s all chaff, I guess you have to take what you can get.

Matchbox 20 and Nickelback are still touring and still doing arena shows. This does not suggest that they will be forgotten in 10 years.

Some of this is subjective taste-wise, and pop music varies by where you are in the world, but some of this just doesn't get the timeline right. The original Napster ran from 1999 to 2002, with all the other P2P music sharing names we all remember appearing in the same time frame. Music sales, in the U.S., at least, peaked in 1999 and started dropping every year--although admittedly the much more precipitous decline hits ~2-3 year after your time frame when streaming takes over from illegal downloads.

Anecdotally, I somewhat recently did a listening project of every number one hit on the Billboard Hot 100, and there's imo there are much, much more dire periods than '98 to '05. (Incidentally, the late '60s are not my favorite music period overall, but it was certainly the time when the top of the charts had the most interesting music.)

I think that period just seems bad if you're the age of typical goons because you would have only been exposed to the good music from periods before that, during that period you would have been constantly exposed to music you didn't like on the radio, etc., and after that music streaming became widespread and you could easily just listen to whatever you wanted, so that was the time when you would have been subjected to music you didn't like the most.

Makes perfect sense, though most of the stuff I liked back then I’ve grown to despise. That’s just me though, so
