mozart is prolly wondering thaddt same thing. you have a good point and i agree but music is always subjective and a reflection of the times. 20 years from now, like it or not, some of this shyt is going to be golden.
Like what? In reference to your avatar.......I can see things like "edge of glory" being considered that.....but mainly because it has an 80s flashback vibe to it....
There are tons and tons of great artists today, I think the difference nowadays compared to the past is that the Mainstream itself is underwhelming and you have to search for the good artists like...
Robert glasper
Esperanza spalding
Sade(guess she can be included in every decade lol)
Damian Marley
Melanie fiona
In terms of certain things being considered golden a generation from now(20 years) I can see some things but not as money like it used to be in the past...
Mainstream wise I have a feeling this may end up being a worst decade than the 00s in terms of music...
