*Stomp Clap* Hey!

IPAs, "adulting", Bespoke burgers, Low T men with beards and flannels trying to reclaim their masculinity....

It was a terrible time to be a young adult, I'll tell you.

Most of you guys were old enough, and got to avoid the brunt of it, but it was so cringey and awful and unavoidable at the time



This video is actually too nice to this dogshit brand of music, and the dogshit belief system and pseudo-morality that went along with it. But his criticisms of the "gnome vocalists" and oversinging like American idol are definitely on point.

Forgive me for not watching it. The thumbnail or whatever was already giving me Austin flashbacks when I saw the man bun, plus I already know millenial music sucks and I hate expensive beer, especially pale ales, so I don't need this getting my blood pressure up. I'm American and play blues so it's soul patches and pisswater pilsners, thanks! :LOL:

You should definitely watch the video, he does an excellent job of playing just enough of the music itself to make the points he's trying to make without making you actually suffer through listening to it for more than a couple of seconds. If it wasn't like that, I neither would have posted it, or watched it myself.

It's a very interesting social question, because this was probably the last generation that was a definable "thing" that was recognizable musically. Like, you can recognize zoomers by their awful fashion sense (short salmon colored shorts and broccoli hair) and their absolute mutilation of the english language, but you CAN'T identify zoomers by their music. You know what I mean?

This was the last time that a generation, as a whole, was distinct and clearly definite based on all aspects of their behavior

This was what the vast majority of "hot girls" and the dudes that orbit them were listening to

These were the most popular songs of the era, they were the annoying shit on the radio when you went into target or starbucks

"Most women are shorter than men"

"But **I** know a woman who is six foot four!!!"

It's called millennial music because it was the most popular and culturally relevant music of the time. If we had to make "not all, not all" preambles to every statement we make, no one would be able to communicate anything

Well if you want to get really pedantic about it, "Millennial music" doesn't exist. There are genres of music. And there is what was or is popular during a specific time period. Millennials were born between '81 and '96 and when the average millennial was a teenager, it would have been between the mid '90s and early 2010s. During this window, the top 20 most popular artists would have been:

Britney Spears
Eminem
Linkin Park
Backstreet Boys
Destiny's Child
Blink 182
Green Day
Jay Z
Avril Lavigne
Usher
Outkast
Kanye
Beyonce
Fall Out Boy
Timberlake
Rihanna
RHCP
Coldplay
My Chemical Romance
50 Cent

The Amish farm hat, suspenders, beard, tight jeans with boots music y'all talking about is usually associated with hipsters (who are typically millennials). Not all of the millennial generation.

BTW, while I posted that Olivia Dean video as a bit of a joke, she's actually pretty dope lol. My gf is into her and we saw her live last year and it was a good show!

That's fine if you disagree, but this is the millennial music that is widely associated with the millennial generation because it was the most culturally relevant when millennials were culturally relevant :dunno:

No one associates millennials with Nu-Metal or Emo/Pop Punk. They associate them with manbuns and obamacare because that was millennials at their "peak" culturally.

That's completely acceptable if you want to granulate it further, but the entire universe besides you doesn't do that - especially non-millennials

I didn't listen to this bullshit (by choice) either
