I disagree. Imagine Dragons tanked because their production went to shit after their first project. Their first album was very safe but it had promise. The albums that followed were so overblown and created to solely be played in stadiums. Safe pop rock songs combined with empty lyrics doesn’t = happy music.

“Thrift Shop” was definitely overplayed… but, Macklemore is very self aware and I believe he acts corny on purpose, like it’s part of his image. It’s pop/whole-foods rap but going viral and selling millions while being independent and also dealing with addiction is truly commendable.

I actually miss the days 10+ years ago when pop songs were almost all dumb, cheesy club bangers that got you feeling like life was cool. I was about half the age I needed to be to actually go to one of those clubs, but I felt the vibes. The Black-Eyed Peas, LMFAO, Pitbull, Flo Rida, and others were making pop radio feel like a party all day and all night. I had no idea how much I’d miss the days when pop music was solely fun instead of mellow and pretentious.

It was a very fun transition and like you've said in a lot of your vids Finn, it's that people want to have fun and it seems like a lot of metal people only want to be dark and brooding. I showed her how much fun it could be and now she does vocals and is a prominent member of the band!

Here's why I think there was so much party music in the first half of the 2010s, I watched a video on it and it made a lot of sense. Popular music up to 2015 or 2016 was about escaping your problems, either physical or mental or by some outside force, by going partying and being extroverted. But from 2016 or 2017 onward it started changing to introspection, realizing you can't fully escape your demons, realizing the party scene can sometimes even make things worse. Another thing is that the sound of mainstream pop changed from the kind of stuff that's best played in a club or festival to the kind of music best listened to in your room.

Kinda feel like the pile on top Rebecca Black was a sign of the internet mob culture to come. Felt really bad for her at the time. I've never understood why people need to do that kind of thing. If you don't like it, move on. No need to be horrible to the person making the thing, especially if it's a kid. "Negative people lash out at happy people..."

I think 1999 was the peak of civilization. Rock was still alive and well, America was still somewhat viewed highly, 9/11 hadn’t turned the whole world into a security state yet, and the internet was exploding in popularity. 2004 was a damn good year though. Also, Rebecca got the last laugh, as she now collabs with bbno$ and Dorian Electra.

Call Me Maybe, Gangnam Style and Harlem Shake were literally everywhere I go. It's crazy to think these songs were what people loved it at the time being all that crazy about it, singing and dancing along with it and there was me wearing all black and my black hair covering one eye of mine. This all happened in 2012-2013, back when I finished high school and went immediately to the academy and my music taste was changing from Metal to Metalcore. Insane that everything took place 10 years ago. There were different times back then.

There was a rapper featured in the Friday song? Wow, I heard the song like ... many times. The more you know! But gotta admit, she fully tested the power of internet (meme) virality and I have to say that the song is catchy and people still remember it, reference it, etc. Not like for example... something else I do not remember now from that era.

Rebecca Black lived in the the city just next to where I grew up. One evening, several years after the Friday catastrophe, my parents went out to dinner and they saw RB and my dad, trying to be a good guy, went over to her and said "Hey. Those Internet people are wrong. You're great." When I heard this, it made me rethink all the music recs my dad had given me over the years...

​@@stw9495 Yes you are not alone. I was in high school for some of the decade too. It was truly a horrible, tacky, putrid decade and we're still culturally dealing with the 2010s unfortunately. IMO apart from the obvious global problem we have been dealing with since 2020, it doesn't feel like a new decade. If you time travelled to 2019 most things would be the same apart from the C word and a few minor things here and there.

I think the singer and guitarist for Imagine Dragons both left the LDS Church . They've made helping LGBTQ youth in Utah one of their big causes, starting a festival that helps raise money and launching a a charity that builds lgbtq youth centers. Brendon Urie is also a former Mormon who was raised in the church but left as a teenager. Brandon Flowers of The Killers is still a pretty devout Mormon and somehow ended up debating his faith with Richard Dawkins on some Swedish talk show. The coldest take I've ever had was listening to the Grammy mashup of Kendrick with Imagine Dragons and coming away thinking that Imagine Dragons was the future of rock music.
