What ever happened to Music Eras

I'm not in America. And... well... I don't think so

Well I mentioned America as some may wish to come to it from that perspective because of the strong influence of music from there in the past (whatever nationality someone might be).

I used to be a devout proponent of the 80s, saying it was my favourite decade. Nowadays, I'm less inclined to choose a "favourite" decade - the more music you're exposed to, the more you realize that every decade (since the 50s at least) has a plethora of excellent stuff. It's hard to pick a favourite.

I still think there's era's... As I said in a previous post, I believe that Electro has taking the for-front for most genres right now, but in time this may be looked at as an "Era" as well... Since we are in that "Era" and it is catchy right now, its tough to put a label on us... I can most certainly tell the difference between tracks released in 2000, and tracks released now though

We are in the era of people that can't sing who are pitch controlled electronically.

Well, the non-vocal parts of Drunk N' Hot Girls were amazing. Kanye must be a creative genius for coming up with that really original melody...

Eras not era's.

I think the 2000's and the 10's can't be classified into an era. with the rise of the internet, pretty much everybody can access albums that are not a part of the mainstream. I think we're all just stuck in a cultural mish-mash of everything where there are no real ways to classify these years.

but now that I think about it, this probably isn't the right answer but it's the best answer I can give.

It's right on the money, and I largely consider that a good thing.
