If dated = too old now but not quite old enough yet?
Apparently 1995 is very dated right now.

mid-late 90s ... 1998 seems particularly dated, what with the baggy cargo pants, frosted tips, and Backstreet Boys and all.

2-Step UK Garage. Doesn't stop me from rocking it on my iPod, though - I've been trying to figure out what bits are worth plundering for my own remix work!
Mid-90s hit-radio-alt-rock sounds WAY more dated to me than drum'n'bass ever will. I think that, much like deep house, it's infinite-looped itself into a Thing That Never Really Goes Away, I mean I just bought a NEW (i.e. made in these past 12 months) version of "It's A Jazz Thing" off eMusic.

I think American Beauty is a testament to the 90s belief that "the suburbs like, suck, man", which led to the 2000s urban revival, because the cities ... they're so much more real.

not in a big enough way to suggest that the genre (if that's what it is) can sustain itself through another round of Black Album-esque experimentation, imo...

Were fun at first, sick to the teeth of them by 2003. The only ones that really stand up now are Richard X's "Girls On Top" series. Don't think they caught on in the US so much the first time around, so guys like Girl Talk can still seem novel.
― Bodrick III, Friday, 1 February 2008 21:23 (seventeen years ago)
^^^ haha, what? Mash ups have been in the US for decades; see: Negativland and those filthy 60s beatniks; they got big again here in the late 90s/early 200s. So yeah, the style seems pretty dated.
― burt_stanton, Friday, 1 February 2008 21:34 (seventeen years ago)
Don't think artsy-fartsy stuff like Negativeland is quite the same thing. Hardly club music is it?. Girl Talk would get snoozed off the stage after five minutes in the UK.
This is where we have a debate about how any record that's sampled another record ever is a "mash up".
Instrumental A + vocal B = mashup C.
― Bodrick III, Friday, 1 February 2008 21:37 (seventeen years ago)
Not saying there weren't US mashups in 2000-2002 (Kid 606, one example), just that us Brits did it to death.

People don't really go to dance clubs here like they would in the UK or the EU (it's pretty 90s), so I don't think that comparison is possible. I just remember hearing a lot of that mash up / turntablism shit on the radio 1999-2001.

The most dated thing I can think of is that late 80s sound that consisted of synths only, only aping "real" instruments creating a very fake "real" sound.
Analogue synths sounded very dated in 1988, but now you hardly hear synth based music without a number of sounds that are more or less typically "analogue".
