So what if it is? Lotta good music in there. There’s some mediocrity there to be sure, but a lot of creative and interesting things being made within that group of artists.
K-pop is dominating pop music right now by getting back to what made pop successful: great hooks and danceable music. “Butter” by BTS is crazy catchy. Taylor Swift writes tons of catchy hooks as well, and is renowned for her live performances. She sells out arenas for a reason. Silk Sonic is the best neo-soul band in decades. Anderson Paak and Bruno Mars are at the top of their game.
Olivia Rodrigo is probably the most interesting pop star out there right now. She’s a metalhead at heart and incorporates a lot of elements of alternative rock into her music. She’s going to be so many kids’ gateway into heavy music and alternative culture, much how Evanescence and Avril Lavigne were in the 2000’s. Billy Eilish is having a similar impact, but I don’t find her music as catchy.
Ronnie Radke from Falling in Reverse and Ollie Sykes of Bring me the Horizon are probably the two biggest “rock stars” in music right now. They’re incredibly charismatic front-men leading massively successful bands that are visible in the mainstream in a way that most rock just isn’t right now.
Sleep Token and Greta Van Fleet are two of the few rock bands that have really managed to get mainstream attention, albeit in completely different ways. GVF appealed to Boomers and gen-xers by giving them a taste of the old days. Sleep Token is the obsession of young tiktoking zoomers, giving them vibes that appeal to this weird obsession with Deftones that every alt girl under 22 seems to have.
Spirit Box, Polyphia, and Periphery are probably the three biggest names in metal right now for good reason. Spirit Box’s vocals are insane. Polyphia is playing some of the most technically brilliant music ever composed. Periphery is some of the heaviest proggiest metal in existence, and yet incredibly engaging and listenable.
These artists will be remembered even if you never hear them on your classic rock fm station.

Your summary is an opinion piece. I have no opinion on any of them other than GVF who I - as a Gen X music enthusiast - think should invest in some lessons.
Music changes over time and do not think is as important today as it was in the lives of kids in the 1960s through the early 1990s. Therefore, none of the artists you mentioned will be on t-shirts in 20 years. They have had limited or no cultural impact.

If you don’t think any of those artists are having an impact, you’re being willfully ignorant. While music isn’t quite as high in the cultural pecking order for zoomers as it was for gen x-ers, they still do care a lot. They just get their music from different sources than you did. You don’t have everyone listening to the same fm radio stations anymore. Everyone has their own curated spotify and tiktok streams.

How dare you speak ill of the great KRAP FM - giving you a double douse of Metallica every Monday!!
as far as people, not just teenagers wearing band shirts of bands they probably don't hardly know the music of
15/20 years ago - I'd say Ramones, maybe Misfits
now - Nirvana
20 years from now - probably still Nirvana

You do realize the hayday of the Misfits was 40 years ago, right? I actually saw them with Danzig last year, though.
Nirvana was over 30 years ago.

20 years ago, teenagers wore Misfits & Ramones shirts, maybe Black Flag too
Now I see people wearing Nirvana shirts, and I think it's just the cool thing to do - I dunno?
The question was what current band in 20 years will teenagers be wearing shirts of
My answer was basically none, it'll probably still be Nirvana (maybe Metallica or Blink 182)
My current favorite band is the Menzingers, but nobody will be wearing their shirts ironically in 20 years - hopefully they will still be touring

Yeah I see it this way as well. There just don't seem to be any modern bands that bring coolness and define a genre that has lasting appeal. This decade of music will probably be seen as the worst decade, thus knocking the 90s down to second worst.

Similarly to my Creed answer, I could very well see kids wearing their shirts in 20 years in some sort of statement of irony

Wait, are you saying the 2010's were better than the 90's??
Posted on 10/18/23 at 10:14 am to Keep Stirring
I do love The Menzingers. I’ve seen them twice, including back in 2011 (they were promoting Chamberlain Waits and I Was Born). Definitely one of my favorite bands today. I don’t wear any of their merch

I wouldn’t rank it over the 90’s, but I think people forget that there was some really interesting stuff being made during the first part of the 2010’s, but like the rest of media, everything went to shite around 2016.
My opinion on the music of the 90’s is that it was consistently above average, but rarely truly outstanding. A whole lot of very good music, but precious little great music. At the same time, not much was truly terrible. The 80’s, meanwhile, was a decade of extremes. There was a lot of really great and really terrible music being made.

If I compared my top 10 songs from the 90’s with my top 50 songs of all time, the 90’s decade might get 2 or 3 on that list while the 60’s-80’s would make up at least 2/3s of it, and the 2000’s much of the rest.

The 90's had a shitload of incredible albums - sorry I have different tastes I dunno.

I think the 90s gets undeservedly shite on, but I also don't agree it has a shitload of incredible albums. I think the AUghts had a great resurgence of incredible music with the Strokes, Killers and such; but I also think the 10s started this downtrend of bad music. I would put the 90s overall as third worst with the 10s and 20s rounding out the bottom.
To my other post, I personally do not think the 10s are better than the 90s. I was speaking to prevalent thought is all. There are quite a few legendary bands to come out of that decade.

Similarly, do you see any current bands beyond Taylor Swift doing arena tours 25+ years from now?
I like some current bands, but I don’t see any long-term classics that will still be huge draws far into the future.
Maybe some country bands?

Zach Bryan, Morgan Wallen, Bad Bunny, Post Malone, Billie Eilish - there's a ton
(btw these names have nothing to do with my taste in music, they headline festivals & stadiums - they will be in the lexicon for a long time like almost every other major act unless they have a severe downfall like Amy Winehouse)
