Yup...no generation y'rsss....that's whatta thought
-
I like all music. Todays is different than the 80's and 90's but it is still music. They just have computers and stuff to back it up.-
Beyonce,alicia keys...product of generation X...u can have GAGA GOGOO,and a product of a fake ASS show...manufactured talent ,but it's all relative
-
-
I think that's a pretty bold statement and I have to disagree... what about artists like Beyonce, Rhianna, Alicia Keys, Carrie Underwood, and Lady Gaga who consistently turn out hit records?
I'm not saying I'm fans of all their music, but one hit wonders they are not! -
HERE's a taste of generation Z
Lil romeo (masta p's son)
Lil bow wow
Young jeezee....
I call it generation X's sloppy 2nd's..
Here we go....its all about the bling I ain't gotta know a thing,my DADDY bought me ever thang includin this rang,
I'm drivin this caddy cuz I'm flo'n like my DADDY...
U still know I'm hot even tho I ain't been shot
All I gotta do is say my daddy's name,and I can get miley,taylor,and a bottle of champeign....
I'm drivin this caddy cuz I'm flo'n like my DADDY.
That's verse one still workin on the 2nd -
Beyonce and Alicia Keys were both born in 1981, which according to Wikipedia is qualified as Generation Y.
-
God I feel so old when I read about grown ups being born in the 1980s...
-
-
According to GENERATION X it's the generation who was born in the 80's but came into their own in the 90's....hence destinys child,alicia keys,master P,silk,3 6,everclear,sublime,311,pearl jam,NIRVANNA etc...

Gen y born late seventies to early eighties usually their parents in this country are considered boomers. It's hard to judge until years later isn't it?
Did anyone think Madonna would have been Forbes top money making music artist in 2009 back when she first showed up on the scene? I doubt it.
Here are a few in for the talent long haul I think, folks that will morph with the times just off the top of my head.
Joss Stone
Pink
Amy Lee
Conor Oberst
Robin Thicke
Alica Keyes -
Lalala LOVE PINK and JOSS,I guess I'm confrused on my generations,but on the other hand every forum I go into says TOP GENERATION X BAND NIRVANNA...
-
I guess if you consider the age of Cobain he is actually a late boomer or early x-er and those who listen to him are both.
Possibly the test over time is how many generations are listening to an artist. -
I agree that the rock/pop scene's a little bit weak today, but Jazz is probably stronger now then it's been in 30 years! My Rock and Country come from the 70's mostly with a little bit of 60's, 80's and early 90's, but nearly all of my Jazz that is not SUPER old comes from the last 10. -
Really,well my jazz comes from the 30's and 40's
-
Generations A.....Z music whatever, they're music. I love music, it's the language of the soul. -
Tru that!!!

I don't think one-hit-wonders are the problem. Like mycmle says, there are plenty of "new" artists who have multiple hits. I think what has changed is the whole marketing of music, certainly in the UK. I remember being a kid, and a new song would be released. And I would watch Top of the Pops every week watching the song climb higher in the charts and hoping my favourite was No 1. Now, a song is released and it either goes straight in at No 1 and is considered a success, or it goes in lower - even No 2 - and there is a sharp intake of breath from the record company. 2 songs like that, and there is talk of the artist being dropped. I think that "must get straight in at No 1" thing leads to so much hype. And then we hear less of artists who don't get 3 straight No 1s, leading to them being called one hit wonders.
I think real music - all different kinds - touches vast numbers of people, and will always enjoy success because of that. It just may not enjoy the same hype that some newer artists do. And the newer artists who are good - Beyonce/Alicia Keys being amazing vocalists who can write as well - will no doubt stick around to join the ranks of other "real" artists too. -
i love music...let it be rock, pop, jazz, rap/hip hop and classical..i love them all..good music depends for me..there r great songs in every genre...do u know who were the bad musicians or singers of 30s and 40s and 50s??? u may hardly know them...but good and the best singers will always be remembered as long as there is music...if u dont like one, don listen to them..but there must be others who loves there music...just take what u want..-
Yes...I was just having an argument with my cuz over what music belonged to what genre
-
-

-

-
"million dollar bill"
-

-
i said its a good song by her...and i know she will deliver the best..
-
-
Oh gotcha...
U know who else I love,Celine Deon-
ohhh she got a great voice..
-
-
You don't think there is any good new music about? -
No that's not what I'm saying at all. I'm just saying that the good music is just coming from people who put a good single out and then fade away.
I love kelly clarkson,she has the vocals to be one of those whitneys or celines,but everything is so manufactured and image driven. -
I love josh grobin to,but even he has kinda gotten cheesetastic lately
-

-
-
Maybe it is just the type of music that you are listening to at the moment?

disagree, we have the foundations for a marvelous musical future. and yes there are some pretty horrid musical attempts out there, but these days kids learn fast. I teach one kid who is about 10 and he's going to be a giant of a player, he thinks like an adult. My 15 year old barely plays but sounds like santana without trying -
Like Alcomum said, it has much to do with marketing and such, but I also think it has to do with music now being so much easier to produce. Anyone can get recording equipment and put out an album from home for not too much money, so new bands and musicians are popping up like mushrooms all over the place. With that much more competition, it's harder for any one band to repeatedly make number one on any hit list. Also, a "hit" doesn't necessarily have to be number 1 on the charts for it to be a hit, but if it's number 4 or 5 or lower, it's not really a big deal in the media since there's a dozen new bands to hype about, so nobody cares much. So these one hit wonders could very well be ten hit wonders, you just didn't hear about it.
Besides, it's a bit unfair to compare someone who just released their first or even second album to someone like Madonna, or even to Beyonce, who's been at it for over ten years by now. Give the newbies a decade too and then see how many hits they've had...
I also think file sharing and online music have a lot to do with it. A lot of people find their music online, but not all hit lists and charts take mp3s into consideration. They're just counting sold physical albums, which is pretty far from the whole picture these days.
