There's something so awful about super "corporate friendly" content. Popular 2010s music was so family friendly and bland, and that's why it hurts so much. That Justin Timberlake song, the Chainsmokers song, they hit the same part of my brain that is activated when I watch an ad.
exactly, they don't stand for anything in particular and are very "correct" so it really feels very corporate souless advertising, because you could really slap it onto ANY product and it would work.
You can toss Pharrell Williams's "Happy" into that mix
I call it the corporate era. Everything became bland and "safe" and then inclusive and finally the end result is corporate wokeness.
Nailed it. This is exactly the term, the '10s were corporate friendly.
That's what pop is
🎶Baby pull me closer in the bathtub with the toaster🎶
The worst part of that was how inescapable it was for a solid two years
@@evilemuempire9550I work retail and that stupid fucking song plays like twice a shift 🥴 it's 2024 can we please get some better music??
@Lilah-Violet I worked at a small amusement park in 2022. They exclusively played songs from the 2010s.
@@Lilah-Violet I am so sorry, you’re really stuck in the “corporate non-offensive” hell
@@Lilah-Violet i feel so bad for you 😂
2010s was when every mainstream "rock" band (what's left of them) had to switch to a one-man stomp-clap radio pop project, with the rest of the band being just unknown accessories for the music video.
Man, this is too accurate. I was also describe it as they made music for car commercials.
Arctic Monkeys, Coldplay, P!ATD and more
@@Wailmur these are the band I would've named :D Fall out boy also, with "Centuries". And don't forget that this was the decade when Imagine Dragons became mainstream
@@lippi2171 oh god yes
As much as it pains me to say, Paramore
2010s for me will always be the decade where mainstream rock went from loud and aggressive to cage the elephant, Imagine Dragons, 21 pilots, Portugal the man. And that weird folk era where Lumineers and Mumford and Sons were big for two years. 2020s haven't been much better for mainstream rock
Even though I like 21 pilots, I agree, the mainstream rock basically threw away the guitars and did either synths or folk. And they all had to be anthemic. I like some of those songs, but it was a bummer.
Rock is either mainstream pop and peddled by the major labels and played endlessly on the radio, or it is raw, underground and not radio-friendly. We as a society need to more accepting of underground stuff otherwise things will never change
Pick up an issue of Razorcake or check out their stuff online, pretty much every niche genre and sub-genre of rock music is absolutely thriving in the underground, it's just a matter of knowing where to look!
I'm a millennial but don't blame me for The Chainsmokers. I didn't do that shit.
im sorry but u did
@@herbicide2 Hate is such a strong word but even that doesn't describe my feelings towards Selfie
White girls did. Hip hop was starting to get too scary with guys like Bobby Shmurda and drill rappers made mainstream hip hop too taboo. Also, corporations are more and more scared of offending anyone, so if they play music, they want it to be as neutral as possible. This has always been the general style, but they've become too scared of the twitter mob. We want to hear something edgy once in a while. Elevator music should only be played in elevators.
'Don't let me down' is still a banger...
For real though, it's the only song I know or care about... but it's a good one 😅👍
That's when EDM stopped being cool and became bland.
As a millennial I will defend the 00s only. 2010s never happened
@mtaylorknowles. I agree, but most of the 00’s sucked as well
The 00’s started off good an then by mid 2004 it really started to decline
Music from 2004 to 2016 was fucking atrocious .
Music had a really good 14 year run from 1990 to 2004 and then it’s been a shit show ever since.
@@PuttinOnTheRiffs I completely agree with you on that.
I’m personally a young/late millennial, I was born in the mid 90’s.
But yeah when the bands that started in the 90’s stopped putting out really good stuff in 00’s, that was when the 00’s started to decline real bad.
2000 to 2004 was good.
2004 to 2010 was awful.
So wrong 2010 music was awesome. Unless you only listen to shit pop punk.
@@NuMetalfan1996and almost all members of those rocks bands Gen X or trail end of Gen X
@@gx1tar1er Yep, that’s why Gen X are probably the coolest generation of them all.
And this is a Millennial saying that.
“Closer” is sung in super boring, narrow vocal ranges so that the average person can sing along. Also that’s why Taylor Swift is so big. Mid recognizes mid.
The world has embraced mediocrity all around... I feel like I'm being cursed for hating the taste makers for most of my early childhood
2010s had alot of great songs but alot of the popular hits are kinda ass listening back on them
Saying “Rover” on its own doesn’t translate the same in the UK - you think Range Rover, I think old man’s beige interior badly built vintage car
As an elder millenial, my pop culture peaked in 05' when Avenged went to number 1 on TRL. After that quite a few of us just dropped off from radio / anything popular and just started figuring out responsibilities. Gotta talk to the younger millenials for anything 2010s. The older / younger millenial divide is real 😂
That older half, younger half divide is always a thing I think. I'm around Finn's age and I think there was a musical divide with Gen X too. Generalizing a bit of course & ignoring some more niche sub-cultures/genres but the older half were into 80s hair metal & the younger half the alternative bands that blew up in the early 90s.
@@ahorsewithnoname773I was part of that very small GenX group that liked all the 80s stuff from early MTV but also liked all the 90s stuff too. I checked out popular music wise in the late 00s.
As a professional wedding guitarist, I can assure you that Uptown Funk is one of the first five songs of the night, in the very first dance set right after speeches, and right before dinner.
And yes it slaps every single time. Grandma and grandpa know it as well as the kids do without fail.
Uptown funk is just one of those songs that hits every time, no matter how much it's overplayed
Adam Neely would agree
Im here once again to let you know how ironic it is to talk shit about how corny the 2010s are when your era gave us Vanilla Ice and Green Jello
You take that back about Green Jello. 😂😂😂
@@hankugly6800 I will not, I'll take the abuse but I meant what I said
Avicci, Zedd and David Guetta made some amazing collabs and helped get modern pop/dance music on the charts
They deserve more credit
Swap David Guetta for Calvin Harris. David Guetta had a lot of hits but his music always gave me vibes of a European tourist trap beach
That was pretty much the one and only time that electronic dance music was legitimately mainstream in America.
@@Kodeb8And Skrillex took "bastardised" version of dubstep to the mainstream in the America too. Though I also blame Rusko for this.
yeah thats what i truly miss the most about the 2010's was the spinnin records everyone trying to do EDM or be club music kinda thing, that was fun. for every boring boom clap indie song there was a banger EDM track somewhere to be found
@@gx1tar1er I'll always defend Skrillex though, I think he's one of the greatest electronic artists of all time. Even if you hate what he did to dubstep, you at least have to acknowledge his talent. Maybe it shouldn't have been called dubstep, but it's too little to late for that.
Millennial here. Do we have to take credit for "what does the fox say" too? Or can we pawn that off on Europe?
European millennial here, you can pin that on us.
I just skipped all music for 10 years.
Bizarre story I have about weddings and Uptown Funk - friend of mine got married, and at his wedding when the DJ played this song, one of the guests dislocated her knee on the dancefloor.
2010’s were corny and cringe but I’d take anything from that whole decade over any 2020’s mainstream bullshit. Music has gotten so fucking bad in my opinion. Mainstream/popular music in 2010’s in general is better than 2020’s.
I started college in 2010, and I just remember being the guy on campus jamming ADTR/A7X, as far as popular music goes. It wasn't long before I started to hear Mumford & Sons playing on the local rock station. And more just like it followed. Hipsters popped up, listening to this type of music. I couldn't believe my friends liked that stuff, or why/how it replaced pretty much everything "rock."
Lumineers, Imagine Dragons, Of Monsters & Men...it was a disease 😂
@@VinylCollektor23Colorado hipsters loves that shit
Even back then I hated the stomp clap shit, however I'll always be a dubstep defender.
2017, Grandayy posts another “We Are Number One” video, great times.
The concept of happy white guy music intrigues me.
2010s music sucked! me and my friends were listening to emo 2000s stuff in high school, not this top 40 garbage!
I have applied Papa Finn's Butt Balm to my Milleni-hole and agree those songs suck.
However, I'd put to you that Gen X also endured some musical turds, so maybe listen to them next?
Thank you for the laughs.
Yeah tracks like “Cry me a river”, “What goes around/comes around”, “Summer Love”…,even as a X-ennial rock/alternative fan who was raised on hating all things Boy Band, those tracks were hot. Justin Timberland really wore out his welcome by the 2010’s though.
Agreed 2010s were sh1t
I'd say late 2010s Soundcloud eap, mumble rap, emo rap, trap is more early Gen Z or the trail end of Millennial (Post Malone, Lil Peep, Lil Uzi Vert, Playboi Carti, Ski Mask the Slump God were born in between 95-96).
late 2010s was the gas
Isn't this just the generation above the millennials fault, haha and most of this was catering to zoomies
Being from the UK I did not think Range Rover during chainsmokers. I was thinking some clapped out old Rover from the mid 90'a thats held together by duct tape, and has terrible MPG and awful emmissions but they got a real good deal on it and cant afford upgrade because theyre still waiting on that post-grad job opportunity. Thats the vibe I get.
Agreed
As a millennial, I don’t like any of the songs on this list. I’m more of an old school music fan myself.
Same
@@user-fx6tp3gs8s I feel like music died after 2008. Trap Music started coming in heavy causing rock to fade. Pop began to blend in, and ever since. Nothing has been the same. Some music is good, don’t get me wrong. The overload of auto tune makes my ears bleed. No authenticity whatsoever it’s sad.
@@tylerballard2829yeah I agree. Early 2010s were the point where pop music and rap basically became the same thing, weakening both styles. Rock music went on the deline due to lack of new ideas. Everything became bland and homogeneous
Dont know one single millenial IRL whos into 2010s stuff, the oldest person maybe is my GFs younger sibling whos the ultimate zoomer (born 99)...
Early 00s are the true peak of millenial culture, 90s as far as kid just kid culture
"Whats Halsey up to?"....everyone who knows 😔🙁
Gotta admit, the succession from Uptown Funk to Metallica maps my music journey pretty well, when Uptown Funk was popular, I was 12 and I liked the song, like any other 12 year old, Minecraft, dubstep, Gangam Style and Uptown Funk was the shit
then 4 years later, so 2 years after this Metallica song came out, I was getting into metal and this was one of the first songs I remember being into.
2010s was actually very special to me, cuz i spent my late teens and 20s. 18-28. I got married @ 29, I'm 32 now, and all my great memories were from the 2010s
We also got clout Rap, filthy frank and great festivals without satanic rituals
We also got prime Kendrick drake and jcole, Young thug, posty, 2016XXL, Peak EDM, peak Quentin Tarantino and Nolan, no viruses and woke culture, rise of youtube content creators, Peak UFC, No wars on a big scale, millenial parents aka our beloved boomers were younger and healthier, so many other good stuffs
Cope
@@alphared4655 nothing to cope about, nothing changed for anyone
@@sanggnas2329”our beloved boomers?”
Bro stop trolling 😂😂😂
The 2010s was the decade the NWOTHM gained momentum - bands like Visigoth and Eternal Champion started getting big and renewed interest in Traditional Heavy Metal for a whole new generation. Great decade for MANY reasons and that was just one!
Ooohh didn’t know that.
Oh yeah it did...that's where I found out Striker and White Wizard were absolutely untouchable in retro facing heavy metal
Orange juice
You're not allowed to blame the millennials for Can't Stop the Feeling, that one is all Gen Z. It was the soundtrack to trolls movie and a song for children.
The Lumineers were good……the indie folk genre exploded, so I would say that was a positive.
I'll only defend the 2010s in one regard: everything really is better w/ bacon
I'll take the 2010s music over the music we now have.
When your kid is older you'll understand why Can't Stop the Feeling was so popular
Halsey was just diagnose with Cancer...
MGK was the only good musician to come out of the 2010s. MGK bless MGK on this fine day MGK created, along with the guitar, music, and nuclear fission.
Literally only knew the Justin Timberlake song, as pop from about 2005 forward hasn't been on my radar. That Timberlake video is awkward, and the movie was worse, but my 5-year-old (now 12) just loved it and couldn't get enough. That's a great memory!
As a millennial, I’m not responsible for any of this. I didn’t even like this stuff. 😂
Everything got gay in the Obama era.
Including Obama😅
eh montero and industry baby came out during biden
Well, he did legalize gay marriage.
Truth
Then Biden said hold my beer lmao 😂
Get Low gives me flashbacks to my 6th grade dance. Like twenty minutes in the DJ noticed all the kids were wearing G-Unit shirts and Air Force Ones and he switched from 90s high school dance R and B to insanely explicit rap and reggae.
Timberlake is an Xennial so he's just as much your problem.
The first half of the 2010’s were 80’s level of cheese. The second half of the 2010’s problem was there was nothing to talk about in music.
When Obama was president the music was reaching 80’s music in the UK levels of bad.
2:48 Who says romance is dead??
I don't even like mainstream music, but that Bruno Mats song slaps! Has that old Morris Day vibe to it
Coincidentally (or not), the 2010's is when I wasn't that much into music anymore. Weird, because music was pretty much my whole identity up to that point. Thank you to the millennials for making me grow up and find myself, I guess.
i dont remember a single millennial listening to the charts back then, it was always youtube, so that just left x and boomers to listen, hence the corn
That chainsmoker song just gave me the odd sensation that being at my worst stage of addiction to hard drugs in the 2010’s wasn’t all bad. I mean I did lose the last years with my grandma before Alzheimer’s got her, but I didn’t have to hear that song so… you win some you lose some.
Unironically, less than 5 minutes after watching this video the Justin Timberlake song came on at my job. This shit is inescapable even a decade later 😭
i remember when the emoji movie came out every gen z'er were already making cringe comps on it, not even us liked the millenial sh lol
Think Get Low was awkward at a white person wedding. My wifes cousins wedding featured WAP as per request of the bride, and this was only about 2/3rds through, so theres still daylight and the kids are knee sliding on the floor. Yeh. That was a moment.
The only true crime on humanity is GenX made ska popular... Just think about that for a minute.
Good, it deserved it. Ska absolutely slaps.
In the 2000s there were many songs that gave cringe, but the 2010s surpassed it by far, I say that as a millennial.
Almost 15 years ago
I really liked the 2010s. 1989 era Taylor swift, The Weeknd, die Antwoord. Hell even the first Mumford and sons and of monsters and men were great. Rest of the “stomp clamp” not so much. Even the two carly Rae jepson albums of emotion and dedication were fucking awesome.
However, bands like imagine dragons and chainsmokers were god fucking awful.
There were good music, from EDM like Avicii, Calvin Harris etc..and from indie scene like Angus and Julia Stone, Arcade Fire, Mumford & Sons....Good bubblegum pop from Katy Perry, Lady Gaga etc and not to mention Great DnB and Dubstep.....but since the mainstream theme back then was lets get drunk and party till the sun comes up, all the good music get buried in with pile of corny music..
@@arunashamal pretty lights and Griz was so damn good
I non-ironically like early chainsmokers. Their remix of Dreaming by Small Pools is fantastic. Also roses is a great song. Idc what people say lol
2010… when, if you had a tat, you had ONE tattoo. It was upper back, lower back, forearm, or front shoulder. Lol and now if you have tats, youre COVERED, or you dont have any.
As a millenial, I don' tsee nothin wrong with this?
well the first half of the 2010s were definitely shit show, even k-pop were horrible during the time. But the second half starts to picking up with trap mumble raps, XXL freshmens, kanye's yzy seasons & TLOP, Bieber all grown up, emo rap are on the rise etc. I guess the early 2010s went bad is because it still recovering from the economic crisis from late 2000s.
It's all a cycle. Right now it's not far enough in the past that we are coming around to it yet. Currently, people are becoming nostalgic to late 90's and 2000's music. Give it 5-10 years and the 2010's will have it's comeback.
Drive-by, by train is nostalgic. 🌚
Ellie Goulding, Charli XCX, The 1975 are the only people who did good shit in amongst the hellscape of 2010s cheesiness
Metalica have been bad since 1987.
And this is still shit
Please start a future video by hitting us with a "Hey Dudes Are You Ready To?" We would appreciate that a lot.
As a white boy wedding photographer... Up Town Funk hold up and is still a banger, idc what anyone says, and I've heard it far more than most
You gotta explain Alanis Morisette, fucking Smashing Pumpkins, and Red Hot Chili Peppers before you get onto us about The Chainsmokers bruh. Every decade has atrocious mainstream bands. The Beatles??? Eughhhh.
That Justin Timberlake song was played in everyone’s local H&M. Thank god Trump put a stop to this music once he got into office
I would tell your fictional judge:
"Your honor, I may have been born in 1986, but I would like to declare myself as a member of Gen X. I love bands like White Zombie, Pantera, Alice In Chains, Nine Inch Nails, and other 90's bands. This 2010's nonsense does nothing for me."
2010s also gave us the entire a’capella trend
Now I know where my depression demons came from. Give me #Selfie, give me Albatros. You could even feed me all my favourite Jumpstyle remixes from the past. But F&$% Bruno Mars, Ed Sheeran and singing Justin Timberlake.
Imo only like 3 PoP songs from the 2010’s hold up well today.
ET by Katy Perry
Take It Off, and Blow by Kesha
Literally every other PoP song from the 2010’s other than those 3 songs sucked ass.
In the 2010s, everything started to become an ad, including every song that aimed for airplay. Every song was made by X featuring Y.
It hasn't stopped. The end times started with Chris Brown becoming successful.
2010s pop was the epitome of commercialized pop music, and fashion was getting so bland. I don’t remember the 2010s fondly, mostly the post hardcore/pop punk/metalcore stuff I held onto from that era.
It’s nice to see Finn having fun in this video, while dropping some painful truth bombs about Timberlake
Yeah i love how thats the joke, the fear that someday soon people will be nostalgic for CLOSER😂. Also Halsey is still making some solid music, apparently there will be an album in 2024. Also that synth used to sound hype to me but it just aged SO POORLY
Yeah, the 2010's were not a fun decade. To this day, that Chainsmokers song gives me flashbacks of loading my band's gear out of horrible bars that paid us 2 free beers per person and that's it.
(For comparison, my dad's cover band *and* his original band both raked in about $500 a week in the 1970's through the 90's)
That Chainsmokers song always bothered me! Like, no… a guy having a car payment he can’t afford is NOT a turn on. Show me that fiscal responsibility, baby!
2:16 watch ATC and F211 covers f this song, they're GREAT!
2:38 she had a god tier song forget me too with MGK and travis barker a few years ago
2:48 🤣🤣 well not on yt
4:36 true, ATC and F211 covers have piano/guitar here, much better
5:45 agree!
6:12 ATC version does
6:24 bruno mars is a great singer and has some nice songs but this one is just unbearable
9:35 it's good, deffinitely holds up
10:15 they had some good songs in between but ok
10:58 false, look at master of puppets, orion, ..., and most recently inamorata. and even if they are simplistic, they're still nice and catchy
12:28 cover ears and run
12:45 true
Ronson writes some catchy shit man... Also wrote a good few Amy Winehouse's songs.
Uptown Funk is annoyingly catchy.
I actually liked 2010s Metallica a bit. Hardwired was good, it held up, and you could do SO MUCH WORSE.
As a zillenial, I apologize for my entire microgeneration because I believe we're responsible for this music. If you were 16-22 in 2014 you're all equally responsible 😂
Halsey is good shit. She worked with Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross
“Hopeless Fountain Kingdom” that is great album.
Ah hell nah Millennials don't claim 2010's JT.
If you're gonna say a JT era is the Millennials fault then it's Future Sex/Love Sounds that album was amazing
I am Gen Z and I detest 2010s pop music, although I don't enjoy pop music like at all. I believe 2000s and 90s were the best in terms of music.
Counterpoint: People love corny and the 2010s will be revered by children born 20 years from
now.
Metallica have settled for that sound pretty much with DM and sound like that for 15 years. You just hate the last one more than because that followed the 2020s A tier marketing plan: spam all social media with your music for 1 month and then go off to the world tour tour. Back at Hardwired..., you couldn't do 10 generic CGI videos and release every song on YT, but the music is pretty much the same: modern trash with lack of interesting parts and lots of repetition. I think you could make some interesting albums if you cut it down to 35 minutes and no track over 5 minutes.
I will forever never understand how people like JT and Pharrell made incredible pop music in the 2000s to then come out with "can't stop the feeling" and "happy" in the 2010s... There must've been a curse in that decade 😂
I don’t gotta defend shit! And you can’t make me 😂 nice try buddy but I don’t care enough to defendceanything my generation did 😂 we made the best of the shitty hand dealt and you know what I wouldn’t change a goddamn thing 😂 I will say most of this music I didn’t listen too tho 😂 my music taste was far worse Attack attack and Asking Alexandria, OBSESSED but I didn’t get into asking Alexandria like two years afterceveryonecstoppedclistebjng to them already 😂 no clue why
2010s pop music should be called leasing office music. All of this stuff including stuff from your previous videos on the 2010s was stuff I always heard playing in apartment leasing offices. It was the nicer apartments with pools and gates with special codes, though. Not the low-end ones that don't require pet deposits.
As a millenial, I haven't heard everything of the 2010s decade cause I was so into classical music as a child so I've only heard the mainstream songs on the radio between 2014 until 2019 probably.
2018 is the year that I actually started to listen music outside of the radio, so I don't have enough information.
Unless you got involved in straight edge vegan hardcore before 1992... Then Butt Cheeks Finn thinks the music you listen to is ass.. Can Finn even play an instrument? His wife was just in high school band 5 years ago.. so maybe
Got married in 2013 so I dodged Uptown Funk thankfully
Not only have I also never been a Metallica enjoyer, I too am a jaded Gen Xer who can’t stand happy ordinar people.
Also Finn made me realize that Tool are not as good as Instill believed because my friends couldn’t stop praising them for Lateralus when it came out.
Really wondering though Finn: how do you like the sad emotions album by abyssic hate?
That's it, I had to dislike. Where is Andy Ballsack telling me "HERES THE THING"
I feel like chain smokers were peak rich kid going to NYU kid with dreams of being a giant DJ while trying to figure out their sexuality. Fuckin dorm room frooty loops beta 2 produced music 😂
The underground was good, l.a. tended to be its own hub for punk,hardcore,metal,skacore, I guess I'm lucky
