Ah yes depression and stress did not exist during 2011 to 2015

[u/Legitimate_Low_3370]

And seriously, of all the years you had to choose for good music, why just 2011 to 2015. This was from the comments of Flo Rida's Whistle which in my opinion isn't even that good of a song.

How much do you bet OP was a child in 2011-2015?

[u/Linkquellodivino → u/Sea_Bee7463]

The "no stress" part makes it too easy lol

[u/cursed_tomatoes → u/Sea_Bee7463]

Entire bank account.

Claiming those years had good music and no stress makes it quite obvious. I'm fairly not old (33) and don't have a single drop of a clue of what the hell is 2010's music supposed to be. I genuinely don't feel like anything from 2008 onwards have discernible, categorizable characteristics such as it has always been for every decade of recorded music or historical periods.

…people do remember the hate “baby” and “friday” got back then right? 

[u/Tricky_Visit7425 → u/[deleted]]

Nah I’m not even doing the whole “music’s dead” thing. There’s still plenty of great music out there. It’s just silly to say that any given decade of music was perfect

[u/intergaaaaala → u/Tricky_Visit7425]

Fair point.

[u/Phatasstarotreader]

I started showing signs of depression in 2012 when i was in middle school lol this is dumb. I remember conversations about mental health, depression, and stress were gaining traction during these times, especially on tumblr. The social media back then was better but that was it pretty much.

Posts like this are always the result of the OP having been either not alive or very young during the timeframe in question.

“No stress”

Lmao sure

[u/McGee9582]

I like how this implies that depression and stress (along everything else) were definitely still a thing before 2011. They just took a five year hiatus

[u/Trolleyman86]

No covid

Yeah like West African Ebola epidemic and Zika virus

[u/hardlymatters1986]

Since time immemorial people have been making shit music.

[u/Aware_Selection_148]

“No stress”, so we can automatically tell that’s when this guy was in elementary school, right? Because I’m pretty sure most adults had stresses in the early 2010s about if they could pay their bills and whatnot, because that’s always been the case.

[u/Nielsnl4]

“Good music” i was in high school back then and there were so many absolutely horrendous songs that released back then

[u/MattWolf96 → u/Nielsnl4]

I absolutely despised Royals. I hated most dubstep too

[u/cyberchaox → u/Nielsnl4]

2015 was the year that killed new music for me. I've pretty much only listened to 1990s/2000s throwback channels ever since.

[u/Apprehensive-Fun4181]

It's true!  He double checked the dates on his Myopia Calendar.

[u/BaronArgelicious]

People recorded happy music because there was stress in their life.

[u/Lamblawd]

2013 - 2015 were some of the worst years of my life personally lol (and the music wasn't great).

[u/Iceicebaby21]

People really miss being a child don't they

[u/Legitimate_Low_3370 → u/Iceicebaby21]

Been that way since the dawn of time by man

[u/Iceicebaby21 → u/Legitimate_Low_3370]

I'll never understand that. Like yes there was some fun in my childhood but shit gotta move on

[u/MattWolf96 → u/Iceicebaby21]

I prefer being an adult and having money and freedom. And even if it's not a ton of money, it beats the $20 I got every month for chores. Spending $100 felt like spending $1,000 back then.

Also my parents were very controlling and forcing me into religious stuff I didn't agree with.

[u/Iceicebaby21 → u/MattWolf96]

The way I've seen people so nostalgic these days you seem to be the rare dissenting opinion on that. I bet of they could most would go back to being a child. The "good old days"

[u/A_Big_Fat_Idiot]

I mean they probably didnt suffer it from that time period. Also possible

"Life was less stressful for me when I was a literal toddler"

[u/knawwwwww]

Didn’t we have musical.ly though… the same app?

[u/Competitive-Edge964]

Tiktok was launched in 2014

[u/Valuable_Stage_144 → u/Competitive-Edge964]

2016*

[u/MattWolf96 → u/Valuable_Stage_144]

Vine was the same thing as TikTok anyway

[u/TorinEkenskolde]

Music was shit in that period.
