^^^The 60’s are also great but movies and radio killed their music for a lot of people ...

Meaning it got overplayed to the point of most people ignoring it or disliking it

Even now almost every major Romance movie, Comedy and Romantic Comedy has a 60’s song

It's between the 60s and 70s.Those two decades influenced both reggae and hip hop.And the music from then aged perfectly.When I hear an 80s song or early 90s song, I feel more :flabbynsick: than when listening to ella fitzgerald or Gil heron.The 10s have been real nice too and id put them over the 2000s.
