Do You Miss UN in Bollywood? - Page 3

Why do so many people feel this way?😕

I've been hearing it for YEARS.

Every generation says this.

15 years ago, in the early 2000's people were saying "80s ke gaane bahut achche teh yaar" etc

And the generation before that believed late 60s was best, and so on...

The truth is:

1. The music we grow up listening to remains our "golden era" forever.

2. There has always been GREAT songs and TERRIBLE songs in every era.

When people grow older, the NOSTALGIA of the songs they heard in their youth overbears their ability to open up to new sounds. There really IS great music out there today, and LOTS of it.

My analysis.😃

EDIT: I listen to songs from the 1940s to 2016

I beg to differ, its not just nostalgia but is the sad truth
I am 19, which means I should be liking today's songs since I am growing up listening to it...but I prefer the 1950s to the early 2000s...
U really can't make out different singers, today all the male singers try to sing like Atif Aslam and don't have a distinct style
True one does feel nostalgic when they hear their gen songs but I have heard many people who hrew up in the 80s critisizing that decade's songs...
There have been both great and terrible songs in all eras but it seems like there are more terrible songs than great in this era, I have not yet come across so many songs which will be remembered for years to come
Melody is lacking these days, because digitalization has made it very easy for composers, preset loops from the library are used, and then they think ofa tune whereas in the olden days the tunes were made first and then the recording was done...programming never existed back in the olden days
And I am not the only one, there are many people out there who feel the same way about today's songs...this decade has really been an old time low for music after the 80s

I just watched an interview of Udit Narayan from earlier this year, when he won the Padma Bhushan.

They asked him to sing for the viewers and he obliged immediately. And gosh, what a voice! No instruments, no audio software, yet his voice sounded as beautiful and soulful as it does after recording in a studio!

Nowadays, it is my observation that most singers struggle to sing live. I have no bias towards or against music of any era. In fact, some of my favourite music is from the 50s and 60s, and I like it as much as I like 90s music.

Also, I do like a few singers from the current lot. Armaan Malik has potential. Mohammed Irfan deserves more opportunities. But on the whole, I just do not find today's music appealing because it is over-produced. Too much mixing, auto-tuning.

I have tried to like Arijit, but just cannot warm up to his voice. He doesn't sing off-key and is technically fine, but his voice lacks energy. He cannot adapt his voice depending on the genre and ends up sounding the same in dance music and romantic ballads. His voice lacks freshness and originality. I was disappointed that he won the Filmfare over Papon, whose rendition of Moh Moh Ke Dhage is far more memorable than Singh's Sooraj Dooba Hai. Sooraj Dooba Hai is a fun, catchy song, but not award-worthy.
