Why is old music so cringe?
I mean seriously if you made a song today going “tweet tweet twiddly deet” it would be mocked endlessly. But to boomers, this was high art.
What explains this? And don’t just say “all music becomes cringe with age”, because a lot of music from the 80s (rock) and 90s (alt, pop) holds up today to a lot of people.
NOBODY listens to fucking rockin robbin.
If you're dismissing all music from that era based on any annoying pop song, you're probably retarded.
better than this shit. worse, this is "critically acclaimed"
This is how your grandkids will feel about hip hop, Seussian rhyming nonsense
>why is old music so cringe
the only explanation i can think of is that music from the 20s to the 70s was a bizarre place between classical music (which is beautiful for its dedication to music as an art, with foundation in theory) and popular music/industry music (which is enjoyable for the masses, produced quickly, and is easily consumable)
that era had literally nothing going for it and is just the uncanny valley between those two trends.
You think popular music started in the 20th century?
as we know it, yes. there was not a massive global music industry before that.
and there couldn’t be, at least until public radio was widespread.
do you also think before the 20s that the average prole was knew shit about classical music? so many idiotic assumptions in your post.
lol you're fucking retarded man
Zoomers literally think this is the apex of songwriting.
its what we would consider classical today. marching music, traditional bands, military groups, concert performances. i understand if you want to be semantic about things but im talking really big picture here. yes, they would have all known traditionally classical music. none of what was heard before the 20s was mass produced, easily playable or replayable, or part of a economy of scale (music industry).
You guys, music isn't (just) words!
People don't like music (just) because of the words!
You can say gibberish gobeldygook and it can still sound good!
This is called "scat" or "lilting"!
>traditional bands
No what? There is no way you can get away with calling folk music classical.
>none of what was heard before the 20s was mass produced, easily playable or replayable, or part of a economy of scale (music industry).
Christ. You've never heard of Tin Pan Alley?
You niggers don't even listen to music.
you retards really think the invention of radio and music business (then eventually the internet) didnt change music lmfaoooo
i knew this board loves to be contrarian and edgy for edgy sake, but damn. there is literally no comparison for the change public radio made to music. everything before that can be considered traditional or classical music because it was made before what turned music to modernity . im not just trying to be arguing names of genres like you chuds love to do. im just saying music before that was not made in the same way it was AFTER those creations.
the 20s to 60s-ish time period is a bizarre part of music history that is absurdly cringe today because it fit in that weird valley between music as we know it today (industry) and music before it was able to be easily wide spread.
Don't ignore my post coward
that was a response to your post.
"Rockin" was code for "Fuckin"
Then reconcile your retarded claim that
>none of what was heard before the 20s was mass produced, easily playable or replayable, or part of a economy of scale (music industry)
when the sheet music industry had already created a large music industry and a consolidated, national music listening public in the 19th century
>the 20s to 60s-ish time period is a bizarre part of music history that is absurdly cringe today
More retardation. The 20s through 60s created some incredible music. Our pop and rock apes the 60s so much still and you're acting like it's some fucking impenetrable curio. Fucking nu-Any Forums
Actual retard
