This just proves that music was all around better then than now.
This how the Billboard charts looked back in 1993

it also proves we'll always think our music was >>> everyone else's.

While this may be, you look at the comments of these videos and see kids say "i'm 15 and I wish I grew up with music like this..."
We'll see if that happens in the future...

when will you people learn?
all youre doing with attitudes like this is just enabling wackness.
whats funny is, alot of the youngns even know their generation of music is fughazi.

It's not enabling it. It's about holding onto what your generation or era had. I'm watching the '90s last great decade right now on National Geographic, and I'll tell you what, not everything that came out was cool, but we'll find a way to look back on everything wistfully.
You're not gonna be much older, look back on your entertainment and think it all sucked. Even if you didn't like it at the time, you'll justify its existence. That's what people do. (on the flip side, there's shyt we liked that we look back on and wonder why we liked it)
This is something that isn't noticed enough. Remember them Keith Washington joints? Or After 7? Alexander O'Neal? They were speaking to damn grown women and we were young dudes tryin to sing songs like Bended Knee in high school. So even those songs sung at Grown Ass women were enjoyed by us youngins. Just very few grown ass songs anymore. So much so, that R&B stations have had to go it on their own to get adult music.

who is in here holding onto their generation?
how about just calling a spade a spade? and instead of brushing everything off as generational, lets try addressing the actual problems.
when we talk about how great the 60s, 70s & 80s were, do you chime in and say that we're holding onto our generation in those threads too?

The people that grew up in those particular eras will tell you their shyt >>>> everyone else's. I'm saying we're no different and the people after us will treat their shyt the same way. You can appreciate the stuff that came before you, but you're gonna have a natural bias towards the shyt you grew up on cuz that's YOUR shyt. Nothing wrong with that at all. That's just life.
Just look at that retarded poll that said Obama was the worst President since WWII and that Reagan was the best. You can clearly tell who voted in that poll. shyt like that

yep
and thats exactly why theres no classic hip-hop stations on torrestial radio. because once that comes out, nobody would be listening to the current hip-hop stations.
that obama analogy was awful. him getting voted as the worst president has more racial implications than anything. so yea, it is indeed obvious who voted in that poll.
back on topic, what does this have to do with criticizing the current era of music? the chit going on right now is bad and you know it. stop skating around the topic, trying to play devil's advocate in every thread b. you can ride for your generation without chitting on another. this generation is getting chitted on because its chitty.
and truth be told, for alot of people complaining, this IS their era. hell, im not even far removed from my era. and when this chit first went downhill, i was chitting on it while it was my era. im 29 dog. and im sure at least half of the people in here complaining are younger than me. some of the chitty times are indeed my era, just as much as a 1993. actually more than a 1993. so where is my generational bias?

Biggest R&B song in the nation right now is "Loyal" by Chris Brown, at some point we'll go so far left that we can't get back to the grown shyt. That's why there's no more R&B groups anymore. It's hard to have a group of men singing about kid shyt so it's easier to have solo artists like CB do it. Trey Songz making songs like "Na Na" and "Smart Phone", these labels don't give a fukk the music anymore they just running our shyt into the ground now.
bunch of slow jams in that bytch
It's all a cycle. The 90's music that gets glorified now was shat on by the older generations at the time. Now that those who grew up listening to that are all grown up, they put it on a pedestal and shyt on the next generation's music. 10-15 years from now the people that grew up on this Kanye, Wayne, Drake, Ross era will be glorifying the music they grew up on and talk about how the next generation's music ain't shyt compared to the good ole days.
