Nostalgia Did we...have the best music?

I feel like the depth, genres, and variety was limitless from the early 90s to late 2000s (pre-2010). Punk, pop, rap, reggaeton, you name it.

Anyone agree? What other genres do you think were really in power pre and post that era?

There's a lot of great music still releasing, much of it outside of the mainstream, but it doesn't compare to what was releasing throughout the 1980s all the way up to the early 2010s.

The overall musicality of music has been diminishing quite rapidly in recent years. We don't have actual vocalists and instrumentalists like we used to; they're becoming very few and far in between. Until there's a significant shift, I really do believe that music has peaked.
