...because the 80's is when synthetic instruments/sounds took hold to a larger degree than it did in the 70s. Musicians didn't know how to makes those sounds, sound more fully "organic" until the early 90's came.
Why Did 70's Music Age So Much Better Than 80's Music?

- Start date
soul, writing, content vs cheap hits and that's never gonna stop happening. Same will happen to any bullshyt hit chaser music in any era. music with substance lives forever and is timeless.
how artists still don't get it I don't know. Trap music will have no replay value
Only real music is gonna last
All that other bullshyt is here today and gone tomorrow

Nah I listen to 80s music more
Rock I listen to 70s more but everything else 80s.
I like the addition of synths in 80s music..got a little bit more raunchier too.

There still some great songwriting in the 80's
The main problem was that too much of the human element was squeezed out by producers embracing technology
Plus nikkas thought they were almost white in the mid-80's

60's & 70's music aged like a fine wine....why did 80's music sound so scust in comparison?
George Clinton said it himself. Record companies liked when the music shifted away from live bands to drum machines, synth music,etc because it lowered their costs. Disco and later hip hop didn't cost anything to produce/record.
Music reached it's peak with Funk as far as I'm concerned. Most of what came after was based on samples or copying older music.
70s music > EVERYTHING that came after it
listen to this song from a children's show from the 1970s, it kills anything out now

That’s your opinion, you gotta find out why it seems that way to you. I don’t think decades have anything to do with quality music...

I honestly feel the 80s were the goat era for music except the end when New Jack Swing came in. That shyt aged HORRIBLY.
