its always funny to me how future funk is just french house/filter house but with longer samples. house beats, compressed / sidechained 70s/80s funk an disco samples and playing with filters. they just added japan and anime lol.

Vaporwave and Lo-Fi House were my most listened to new genres... Easily. Both had so much going for them, but for the most part, it was the whole ''home-made'' thing about them both that made them great. It brought back the ''anyone can have a go and maybe get time to be listened to'' thing. In a world where pop stars egos had gone stratospheric, faceless music was much more appealing. Plus, of course, the nostalgia factor.

that thumb nail hit me with nostalgia big time

Disappointed to find out that "Jizz Jazz" isn't just songs in the stylings of the Cantina band from Star Wars

You say spare wood? Ummm negative. They willingly destroyed 300 wooden toilets to burn it

ty for the shoutout

u continue to be one of the best music history channels!

no footwork :( (dj rashad double cup)

It's very easy to see why the Amen break is used over and again. It takes a special someone to flip the soundtrack to "my cavities getting filled" or "there is an unauthorized charge on my credit card".

Very interesting video, any chance you'll do this for the 2000s?

Bedroom pop

Powerful documentary right here. Some fun stuff.

I love this video and am a huge fan of the work you do, but I wanted to share that I went to the site of your sponsor and I was upset by what I saw. They're not always giving the money to the originators of the music they highlight. For instance the Desert Guitar course is taught by the very white, very British Justin Adams. A rather pompous intro has him marveling at how he monetized his "little obsession" with Desert Guitar music. Boy did he. I know he's Tinariwen's producer but I can't help but think how many great guitarists there are in Mali who would appreciate the royalties and offer a course with deeper cultural resonance. Ya know??!

all these genres are soooo cool. Except egg punk that sh!t sucks

Did this cover Australian Dolewave at all?

I guess one genre that could be included is "crank wave" in reference to all those post-punk bands that have popped up in the late 2010s such as Idles, Squid, BCNR, Black Midi, Shame, Fontaines DC, etc. They all have a rather dark and angry tone and while it's not always screamed, it's rather common that it has a lot of talking or not the best singing. Their sound can also be rather experimental in a few ways, not really leaning towards the eventual new wave of the first wave or the garage rock of the second one. Some attribute the sound and message to the discourse post-Brexit and the current daily life problems that have arisen over time (I mean, not all are British but still). I don't like how one journalist gave it that name, makes me think of crunk. I've always called it "third wave post-punk" or "second post-punk revival".

Respect

Where is Futurebeats, the subgenre of dnb "Rollers", Future Bass? 5ubaruu - Tired Eyes is Drum & Bass, a genre so massive I'm not sure how you can claim any authority on genres when you miss it. And yes, I know Futurebeats and Futurebass are 2000's genres not 2010's, but to talk about so many songs that borrow so heavily from them and not mention them, again, do you listen to music?

Your Boards of Canada "Chillwave" was all actually a genre called "Ambient" or sometimes "Ambient Downtempo", a classification from around 1999 popularized in rave culture starting around 2001 when it became a staple of "chill rooms" across the underground scene.

only thing i can think of being left out is trap metal. it kinda derived from soundcloud rap but i think its unique enough to be considered its own and seperate from soundcloud rap or rap rock. just listen to scarlxrd or city morgue youll get the idea

New Space Age Pop?

New Lounge Revival??

as latin american is so hard to survive as underground musician i asumes same for all undeveloped countries much love to all survivers from a 30 year inthe game mexican surviver, faced depression and poverty many times still here with dignity and trying as much as i can to smile and play for my small auciences here

Hmm. I thought the deeper it was the better it was. But no. You put Vapourwave at like F tier and Afrobeat at S tier. I've got to disagree a little bit here. I think Vapourwave is placed correctly, if you took the metaphor of an iceberg to be taken as the metaphore it's commonly understood to mean, which is part of the same thing, with the lowest part, being the most important, or foundational, of the iceberg as a whole. Because Vapourwave and the spooky slowed down shopping mall music is cleverly dismissing and demonising 90's commercial culture through the lens of abstraction and cynicism. Which is fair. Because the 90's was fast paced series of ideas in rapid succession as a reflection of IT and it's influence on culture and art. But you missed out Synthwave. Easily the most successful genre to emerge from the last 10 years. It can be traced back to the art style and post-apocalyptic story of The Warriors. An influential film for inspiring the themes of Streets of Rage games and to an extent Grand Theft Auto games. The point Vapourwave became a genre was with the release of Russian publisher Devolver's game Hotline Miami. Again, a reflection on 80's culture, more than 90's, but still surreal and cynical. This cohesive collection of music from recording artists from indy studios around the world formed the blueprint for Synthwave to become a recognisable genre that fills in montages throughout youtube to this day. With it's breezy and mix of half serious themes with whimsical instruments are the hallmark of a genre which is self aware and easy to replicate.

odd that radio still plays shitty music for free now

did you insinuate ludacris is washed up? lolmao

Amazing video! I think I need to check out some of those artists mentioned that I didn't know of yet (or didn't gave a big chance). :) I think another "genre" that would have been (weird but) interesting is Vocaloid. Although I don't really like to "claim" it as a genre since VOCALOID is a vocal synthesizer from Yamaha. The whole topic is craaazy - been in the fandom for some years and tried it out myself. But Vocaloid is so much more than just the software. Beginning at the various voicebanks with Miku Hatsune being the most famous one but there are a BUNCH - no, a TON of other voicebanks and almost all of them got their one character design. The voicebanks are recorded from real professionals for example the voice behind Miku Hatsune is voice actress Saki Fujita, Miriam Stockley is the voice of MIRIAM, Gackpoid/Gakupo has the voice of japanese rock legend Gackt and so on. But the first Vocaloids were LEON, LOLA (both english) and MEIKO and KAITO (both japanese). There are Vocaloids or rather voicebanks in spanish, korean, japanese, english and mandarin. There is another software based of VOCALOID called UTAU which allows everyone to create their own voicebank and do their of covers. You don't even need to work a lot on those covers, just import the correct files, maybe edit it a bit and bam - got your own cover (mostly for funsies but if you but more effort in it shows). You can also upload your voicebank so other people can work with your voice/UTAU. Also there are VOCALOID live concerts, Miku Hatsune being one of Lady Gaga's opening acts some years ago etc. There are also some western artists using/experimenting with VOCALOID like Anamanaguchi and Porter Robinson (who got his own official Vocaloid lately). Some of the most famous j-pop artists originated from this area like Eve (Vocaloid Producer and Singer), Kenshi Yonezu (know as vocaloid producer HachiP) and Ado (heavy influece from Vocaloid songs). And then there is this (slightly disturbing and) almost end of the Vocaloid iceberg with producers like kikuo and their... songs. I guess Vocaloid would be an iceberg in an iceberg. But maybe worth mentioning. Peace :)

not enough viper the rapper coverage, he was the creator of cloud rap

chillzz wjavze 2.0

SGP raider crew is tuff af

25:30 THIS right here is why politicians fear artists so much that they’re willing to use the whole apparatus of the state (like a bunch of cowards) to cancel them. Because they know we can reach deep inside the hearts and minds of anyone and effectively flip them around to make them see the reality of things.

57:32 Does Men I Trust really count as a "pretty major band"? They remain pretty "indie" to me, unlike Tame Impala.

I think you're overlooking the influence of nostalgia on 2010s metal, particularly in the heavy and thrash subgenres. Ghost would be the biggest mainstream example.

I know you said you weren't including dubstep since it technically originated in the 00s, but damn if it didn't have a huge impact on 2010's music (i would argue that it reached it's peak popularity during this time) and can be found in a lot of hyperpop too.

egg punk.. my love… 🥲

Didn’t even mention the 1993 constitutional crisis, what a horrible video, yes you’ve managed to make a timeline of bands, concerts and some significant historical events, but with a trash analysis of those events and their significance. Aren’t you gonna talk about the nazbol party? The party of punks and weirdos founded by Letov, Limonov, Dugin, etc? About how the parliament was blown up by Yektsin’s tanks and there were people chanting “all power to the Soviets, form resistance brigades!” In the street? About how it all spiraled down to an eclectic counterculture movement? You could’ve asked someone who lived during the late 80s and 90s how it was, there was no economic hope with perestroika, on the contrary, the shelves suddenly became empty and people lost their jobs, there was at least hope that with reform there would be more freedom or smth but with 1993 it all came crashing down, listen to всё идёт по плану’s lyrics of egor letov, maybe if you had you could’ve done a mildly decent analysis of the mood of the era.

God I hate Americans talking about Soviet history when they have no idea about it

18:19 “with perestroika there was economic hope” no there wasn’t, ask any Russian who wasn’t one of the few oligarchs who profited from that about how their life changed in 1989, jobs were lost, crime rose, drugs, prostitution, overall just hell, but not nearly as bad as what would come in 1993, that was just a few millimeters from getting to a civil war

Could also have spoken about Dimitry Selivanov, one of the members of Grazhdanskaya Oborona who then made solo projects and killed himself, at the novosibirsk university he was rehearsing with another band and said “there’s more for me down the hallway” and then tied his scarf to a pipe and hung himself at a nearby room, it was in 1989, when Gorbachev got to power, I’d have done the same before he destroyed the country and brought upon the 1993 apocalypse

12:35 “gorbachev modernized the economy” yea modernized it back to the Stone Age, just look at a graph of life expectancy or GDP in USSR, isn’t it weird that at the same time Gorbachev “modernizes” the economy the USSR entered a massive crisis? Same for Khrushchev, with Stalin the economy was growing at unprecedented levels anywhere in the world, 2000% industrial growth even, then came Khrushchev to “modernize” the economy and suddenly the growth slowed down massively. The problem with USSR was not that it was too “communist” on the contrary it was way too revisionist and it’s that gerontocracy of revisionists that trampled on aritistic freedoms and ultimately destroyed the USSR

One scene or genre that I felt u missed is the whole Atlanta rap. Artists like young thug, future, travis scott, lil baby, all had this weird autotune-y sound that sort of blended together with trap/edm/pop sounds, interestingly. Also often trying really weird quirky flows, and making it work somehow hahahah (a la young thug - lifestyle). I liked your take on how a lot of 2010s genres sort of melt into the nostalgia bucket, but I’d argue that genre/scene tried to create something new. Thanks for the video, it was a great watch. 😮

Any South Africans here? That AmaPiano reference came from nowhere lol
