Music went to shit (or finished transitioning to shit) in the 00's.

After all, the 90's (like the 80's) had a lot of cheeseball top 40 stuff but at least it was still likable, generally speaking.

List of entertainment affected by the September 11 attacks
See also: List of cultural references to the September 11 attacks
The September 11 attacks in the United States in 2001 had an important impact on broadcast and venue entertainment businesses, prompting cancellations, postponements, and changes in content. In the United States and the United Kingdom, planned television screenings of films and fictional programs where terrorism, plane crashes, bombs, or other related disaster were the primary subject were postponed or cancelled.

Films

Television

Music and radio Edit

Like television, almost all radio stations across the United States put a halt on all programs and commercials to simulcast affiliated news coverage of the attacks from ABC News Radio and CBS Radio News, or taking an audio simulcast of a television news operation, be it local or national, while national morning shows hosted by personalities such as Rick Dees or Howard Stern focused on providing both information about the attacks and call-in forums for listeners to express sympathies. Local New York all-news radio operations like WINS and WCBS, along with Washington's WTOP carried locally-based coverage that was simulcast on those sister FM stations without operations destroyed at the World Trade Center as AM operations with transmissions on the outskirts of metropolitan areas were unaffected outside of security concerns for studio facilities.
XM Radio, a subscription-based satellite radio service headquartered in Washington, D.C., was scheduled to launch on September 12, 2001. As a direct result of the attacks, the launch was delayed until September 25, when the service debuted on a limited basis in San Diego and Dallas.[citation needed]
Program directors from a number of radio stations throughout the US retooled their playlists in response to the attacks. Common changes included the heavy rotation of songs such as "God Bless the USA" by Lee Greenwood and Whitney Houston's rendition of "The Star-Spangled Banner" from Super Bowl XXV. Meanwhile, songs such as U2's "Sunday Bloody Sunday" and Dave Matthews Band's "Crash Into Me" were commonly deleted. Additionally, Clear Channel (now known as iHeartMedia) came under scrutiny for distributing a list of 150 potentially sensitive songs that were not recommended for broadcast immediately after the attacks.[30]
German heavy metal band Rammstein was to debut their video for the song "Ich Will" which depicted scenes of one band member dressed as a suicide bomber. After the attacks, the video was removed from television airplay before it premiered.
Christian metal band P.O.D. released their album Satellite that day, which spiked sales for the album because of its uplifting message. Their single "Alive" became the anthem of the year.
New Zealand rock band Shihad changed their name to Pacifier in response to American audiences comparing "Shihad" with "Jihad." They have since resumed using their original name.
According to Arrogant Worms band member Trevor Strong, the song "Worst Seat on the Plane" was never performed live due to Idiot Road, the album it was featured on, being released on September 18, 2001, one week after the terrorist attacks.[31]
American alternative rock band Jimmy Eat World voluntarily changed the name of their now platinum certified fourth studio release Bleed American, which was released on July 18, 2001, out of concern that the title may be misinterpreted. The album was re-released as the eponymous Jimmy Eat World. In addition, the title track was renamed "Salt Sweat Sugar." In 2008, a deluxe version of the album was released, reverting both the album and song to their original Bleed American title.
American pop-punk band blink 182 re-filmed the video for their song "Stay Together for the Kids." The original video was filmed on September 10–11 and depicted the band playing in an abandoned house which, during the course of the video, was struck repeatedly by a wrecking ball and eventually destroyed. The attacks occurred following the wrapping of filming. Both the band and director Samuel Bayer felt that the images portrayed in the video were too similar to the attacks on the World Trade Center and opted to re-shoot the video. The original video for the song is available on some of the band's DVD releases as well as on YouTube.
American rock band Thirty Seconds to Mars reshot the cover art for their setlf-titled debut album that originally featured a fighter pilot ejecting from an exploding plane. The band explained that they never saw it as a violent image, but felt that it was inappropriate in the wake of the events.
Michael Jackson, along with other musicians, performed the songs "What More Can I Give" and "Man in the Mirror" at the United We Stand benefit concert held at the RFK Memorial Stadium on October 21, 2001, as a tribute to the victims of the 9/11 attacks.
The Hungarian composer Robert Gulya, who was living in the USA from 2000 to 2002, started to work on a guitar concerto in autumn 2001, shortly after the September 11 attacks. Gulya chose a theme for the concerto's first movement,[32] which reminds of the terror attacks.[33] The world premiere of this concerto was filmed and released on the DVD Live in Budapest by the Austria guitarist Johanna Beisteiner.
Ben Folds was giving an interview about his album "Rockin' the Suburbs" (released on September 11) but was cut short, due to the plane crashes.
The song "New York City Cops" was replaced with "When it Started" on the U.S. version of The Strokes' debut album Is This It.
Dream Theater's Live Album Live Scenes from New York, released on September 11, 2001, had an album cover that depicted the skyline of New York City in flames. The album was recalled and later re-released, with a different cover.
English rock band Bush changed the name of the lead single off their 2001 album Golden State from "Speed Kills" to "The People That We Love". Also changed was the original cover art for the album, which featured a commercial airplane.[34]
The tribute concert Come Together: A Night for John Lennon's Words and Music, a fundraiser for the Robin Hood Foundation dedicated to the music of John Lennon, took place in early October 2001 in New York. Due to its timing, much of the concert also became a tribute to the city of New York and particularly its emergency services.
Singer Madonna postponed a concert performance in Los Angeles, California.
Rock band Aerosmith canceled three shows originally scheduled for September 11th, 13th, and 15th, all on the Eastern Seaboard, during their Just Push Play Tour. They resumed their tour on September 17 in Atlanta.
The San Francisco Symphony continued with a previously planned program of Mahler's 6th Symphony, the "Tragic," on September 12–15. The subsequent recording was highly acclaimed and garnered the 2003 Grammy Award for Best Orchestral Performance.[35]
Janet Jackson postponed a concert in Tampa, Florida, scheduled for the day. She also canceled the entire European leg of her All for You Tour due to travel concerns after the attacks.
Digital cable channel MTVX, which showed mainly hard rock and heavy metal music videos, was replaced on May 1, 2002 with the hip hop-based MTV Jams, due to not only hip hop's growing mainstream presence, but the editing of rock radio station playlists or complete change in format to them post-9/11 to remove aggressive and violent songs that were inappropriate for play and a plunge in viewer requests for the network. A good number of radio stations switched to more neutral classic rock or adult album alternative formats in the aftermath.
Stations began to start all-Christmas music formats and playlists through Christmas Day earlier (usually between Halloween and Thanksgiving) to provide a respite to listeners who looked for more calming dial choices, a trend that continues to the present day.

Unfortunately its going to get worse

In the past there was a very large amount of antagonistic painful and jabbing sounds and they emanated from most public places, but as time went on more and more unthinking people made more and more of these piercing serentity destroyers, and the reach of devices to play them grew ever wider. These bombs are now almost everywhere, in places where there should be silence, like buses, libraries and Asda. But it gets worse, theses antagonistic bombs, many of them are indestructible, and can destroy a moments bucolic joy in a moment. 'i wish it could be christmas every day', its not going away, these things are indestructible. and more and more of these are being made, its becoming almost impossible to move as more and more of these things pollute the environment and destroy mental equilibrium. And no one does anything about it, because theyve been battered into submission, 'you used to call me on your cell phone' one hundred times a day, its just going to get worse, we need to rise up and take away the speakers but they are bolted in and now people carry them around with them everywhere i see no end in sight

saer, Tuesday, 29 December 2015 13:13 (nine years ago)

Overall the 00s were indeed a lot worse than the 70s, 80s and 90s, but I really like grime and early dubstep so I can't quite bring myself to vote yes

00s were better than this decade

Adam J Duncan, Tuesday, 29 December 2015 13:44 (nine years ago)

my parents are okay with listening to "today's hits" type radio stations. those stations are torture

"Music" = weighted more towards charted music (like top 40) as that is more representative of a decade's music
"shit" = bad
"00's" = 2000's
"still likable, generally speaking" = flipping through your radio stations, you still had a decent chance of catching a good 90's song during the 90's. the chance of catching a good 00's song in the 00's was greatly reduced

There is always going to be good music if you know where to find it, probably true. But pop music has taken a huge downward turn. I can't really think of many fun or respected one-hit wonders or weird pop songs that crossed over in the 00's, whereas there was so much of that in the earlier decades. A song was either a huge hit and over-saturated or it was viral trash everyone forgot about in a week.

If someone were to put together a list of top 10 one hit wonders and cherished 00s pop songs that could stand alongside any bargain bin compilation from the 70s/80s/etc. then I would cede music probably didn't really go to shit.

There is no bad music decade, but it's an inarguable scientific fact that music has been on a slow and admittedly oft-impercebible decline since the mid-'70s. I get that people may disagree, but it's just science, really.
