Talk:2010s in music

vaporwave and future funk
There needs to be something mentioning vaporwave and future funk that goes something like this:

Vaporwave is both a music genre and art movement that began in the early 2010s that genres like lounge music, elevator music, smooth jazz, ambient, ‘80s dance-pop and R&B, and the more recent chillwave with a nostalgic fascination for retro cultural aesthetics, videogames, technology, and postmodern Japanese culture and advertising. Vaporwave often parodies, critiques, and satires consumer capitalism and technocapitalism. Vaporwave’s visual style is commonly called "aesthetics" (often stylized as "Ａ Ｅ Ｓ Ｔ Ｈ Ｅ Ｔ Ｉ Ｃ Ｓ").

Future funk emerged as an upbeat offshoot of vaporwave, combining vaporwave with J-pop, French house, funk, synth-funk, disco, and nu-disco. Anime is often used in future funk’s aesthetics. — Preceding unsigned comment added by IsaacBonewits (talk • contribs) 02:07, 28 September 2016 (UTC)

Genre and Subgenre Popularity
I have a question: Are the genres and subgenres listed from most popular to least popular? If not, I believe somebody should put them in order. WikipediaWanderer (talk) 00:17, 15 September 2016 (UTC)

Early posts
I revived this article because a large amount of 2010s music has now been made. DriveMySol (talk) 07:00, 22 May 2010 (UTC)

However, this article should be small until we get to say, mid 2011. DriveMySol (talk) 23:03, 22 May 2010 (UTC) It's currently 2020...

General Overview
The general overview talks about 2000s music more than it talks about 2010s music. Many music fads in the 2000s are not that popular in the 2010s, with an exception with a few fads from the year 2000 such as dance music, autotune, and teen pop. The 2010s are a totally different era than the 2000s, which is a more dirtier, sleazier continuation of the 1990s. I suggest that you research about the current trends in music from 2009 to the present. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.168.254.184 (talk) 23:10, 16 February 2012 (UTC)

Rock Music
There is a lot of focus with just the pop music. I think there should be some focus on some trends of Rock Music of the 2010s. You can't forget rock. Rock music is not dead and all emo at the moment. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.251.178.141 (talk) 18:34, 17 June 2010 (UTC)

Rock music is not dead, it currently holds the most album sales, it still very popular and mainstream, there are many rock bands on the "Billboard 200" chart in 2011, and there's no way to forget metalcore emergence, heavy metal and hard rock re-emergence, "new wave" rock music and even a "grunge revival" that's happening on the underground scene. There are even rock bands on the Hot 100 chart, Foo Fighters, Coldplay, Seether, Blink-182, Foster the People, Hot Chelle Rae, Maroon 5 and OneRepublic. Rock is far away from dead. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 186.213.18.93 (talk) 18:42, 22 July 2011 (UTC)

I feel like grunge is making a small comeback with the small Nirvana reunion, Alice in Chains reunion, Stone Temple Pilots reunion, Soundgarden reunion, etc etc. --Anon (talk) 01:25, 21 March 2013 (UTC)


 * The indie music section needs to be expanded more. It's way too small for the most popular genre of the decade. Indie rock does not mean just Alt-J and Cage the Elephant. Haha. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Eatyrveggies (talk • contribs) 21:31, 3 May 2015‎ (UTC)

Okay, whoever is the idiot that keeps putting the 1975 or Alt-J or Of Monsters and Men in the Indie Music section is a complete imbecile. They are NOT FROM AMERICA. Look at a map because Iceland (Where Of Monsters and Men are FROM ICELAND) is NOT in America. and the 1975 ARE FROM ENGLAND. PSA: THESE ARE NOT IN AMERICA. THESE ARE COUNTRIES. AMERICA IS A COUNTRY IN NORTH AMERICA, ENGLAND AND ICELAND ARE NOT. There are in Europe, which is another continent (major, major sarcasm). Also, Linkin Park and Coldplay are not "alternative", you guys. "Indie" is an economic term usually meaning a band is signed to a smaller label or at least a band signed to a major that fits the indie aesthetic but Coldplay and Linkin Park are as corporate as it gets, they were NEVER ALTERNATIVE. At least get the aesthetic right. SMH. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Theatheistgerm (talk • contribs) 03:11, 1 September 2015 (UTC)

Sections which need to be expanded
Because there still arn't enough notable trends in each one of the popular genres popular (we're only half a year into the 2010s) I suggest that we incorporate information about the leading artists/singles in the charts so far - this information would be replaced in future with a more general review which would include tthe most prominent trends in each genre. TheCuriousGnome (talk) 22:04, 26 June 2010 (UTC)

Hip-Hop
Where is this information about hip-hop coming from? Any credible source? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.166.74.75 (talk) 02:56, 3 July 2010 (UTC)

Wow... this is pretty out of date now. Hip Hop* is in NO WAY as popular as it was in the 2000s. Who exactly wrote that paragraph? Where do you live in 2012 that Hip Hop isn't completely off the top 10 in your radio market? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.99.185.210 (talk) 11:07, 2 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Then do something about it. This whole article is one big mess of an opinion piece at this point, it needs all the rewriting, and sources, it can get... Sergecross73   msg me   13:24, 2 April 2012 (UTC)

Pop
I think Glee should be mentioned somewhere. From the Glee discography Wikipedia page: "The cast holds the record for most charted songs by an act in the 53-year history of the Billboard Hot 100, with 207 appearances as of October 2013.[9] Two singles, "Teenage Dream" and "Loser Like Me", charted in the top ten in the US and Canada, and both were certified gold in the US. The cast has also put 51 singles in the top 40 on the Billboard Hot 100, and are on top of The Beatles as of October 2013, behind only Lil Wayne with 64, Elton John with 57 and Elvis Presley with 80." — Preceding unsigned comment added by Potie15 (talk • contribs) 22:04, 28 January 2014 (UTC)

"Rather than buying music people opted to go and watch bands and socialise, spending their money on merchandise and amphetamines. This is an ongoing and longstanding trend."


 * Without some solid evidence to back it up, this claim seems very anecdotal and un-encyclopedic. Can this be backed up with figures showing decreased music sales and increased concert attendance?  Can we also show increased merchandise sales and amphetamine usage?  Finally, can it be shown that the people buying more amphetamines are the same people who used to buy music?  This is a big (and difficult) claim to prove.


 * I think a better way of phrasing this would be to have a section (or even a new article) discussing the relationship between particular genres of music and types of drugs (for example, trance and MDMA). Considering that the synergy of music and drugs is a HUGE part of many peoples' lives across many cultures, I think it deserves more than a judgmental, one-line oversimplification.  We have Drugs and sex and Drugs and prostitution, so why not Drugs and music?--James Monroe (talk) 16:42, 31 December 2010 (UTC)

K-Pop
A bit surprised nothing's been mentioned about the continued rise in popularity or the failed/semi-successful attempts to break into American mainstream. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.70.99.173 (talk) 22:58, 23 February 2012 (UTC)

I agree, especially with Gang-nam style rising to popularity K-Pop needs to be mentioned Anon (talk) 22:58, 20 March 2013 (UTC)

Latinamerican music
I don't understand how Nicki Minaj a trinidarian born american artist, thinking that Trinidad and Tobago is not even a latin country, is the most representative artist of Latin America in the 2010s. As often occurs, latinamerican artist who have succeed in the United States are taken as 'One of the most succesful Latin american artist', when most of them have little to do with latinamerican culture, or are not even popular in the region. Wikipedia should have a realistic worldwide point of view, or just leave it empty. --Tommy The Wise (talk) 16:03, 14 March 2013 (UTC)

Electronic Music
First off, can "Flume" be included in this section as he has had influence from 2012 onwards in an emerging sub-genre of music future beats/Australian sound

Define this statement
"vocally lower-key artists"

I believe this means (for women) contralto singers. Is this right?? Georgia guy (talk) 15:50, 12 August 2015 (UTC)

confusing sentence
"Hip hop acts that have or never charted below the top 40 on Billboard Hot 100..."

not sure what this means.

hip hop section issues
There were serious issues in the hip hop section - a very poorly written paragraph about drill music without capitalization or proper grammar. I did some quick cleanup, but someone else should also take a look. I question whether the content even belongs here. Trap music itself is not featured prominently in the hip hop section, but then this subgenre called drill is? Presumably written by one person who is a Chicago drill enthusiast. -KaJunl (talk) 19:58, 28 February 2016 (UTC)

Mess
This article needs a clean-up, so many names nothing to do with this decade. On the other hand, there are like 20 crossover artists this decade, their wins are for R&B, Hip hop or Pop? Beyoncé, Rihanna, Justin Timberlake, Taylor Swift, Nicki Minaj, among them. It isn't clear. Cornerstonepicker (talk) 21:29, 4 March 2016 (UTC)

Pop Rock is still popular
Someone should add that pop-rock was big in the 1970s and 80s as well. And pop-rock acts are still being played quite frequently on adult-contemporary stations (especially Train and One Republic).2602:306:CD9B:E9A0:E1F5:D02A:EB42:11A0 (talk) 03:12, 3 February 2019 (UTC)ES
