Which artists legacies have improved/worsened during the 2010s?

I think Friends kind of functions as an escapist fantasy for millennials: poor twenty-somethings make their way in NYC and everything ultimately works out.

Dying at "Nuggernaut"

And literally dying if I have to listen to them extending and improvising over a Bon Iver song.

I've seen that band at my go-to bar, it's a bad scene. You see, if you want the hippie bar/restaurant that serves good food until 1am every night of the week and has a constantly changing beer list, you need to withstand the occasional brutal jam band. It's the devil's bargain.

hah, I've had favorite places to go that occasionally host bands and have bitten by the live music schedule

"I just wanted some food, I forgot that Thursdays is FUCKING JAM BAND NIGHT!"

See also, bands who appear to have written their own Wikipedia entry.

xp omg I hadn't heard that yet, but there have been stories off and on for weeks in local media speculating why he was let go when he was appointed by the current governor

Violent Femmes

Do you think they do "1,1,1 cause you left me" but just go up to like 35

xpost I guess we don't need to do a What's on Your iPod thread

Who the phuck are PHOX?

They were hometown 'next big thing' heroes for awhile before they imploded. Honestly a good band that didn't survive the weight of expectations + money + too much touring etc.

The singer is working her solo thing now, really hope it comes together for her.

yeah the people I know that like it like it because of the blithe optimism and naivete. it's basically Adulting: The Show

re Willie -- the Outlaw stuff is obviously enduring, but he did put out some really strong records of original material in the 90s that seemed to have rehabbed his punchline status coming out of the 80s. Spirit would very easily make my top 5 studio records of his, Teatro (ft several re-recordings of pre-Outlaw tunes) is prob top 10. That seemed to goose his image for a while, not mention the near constant touring a la Bob. I haven't really heard or much he's done century besides that T Keith Horses & Beer song; even so he seems firmly ensconced in the pantheon of Country/ Americana. And he still smokes (vapes?) hella weed so he's probably just as known for that with a younger/ not particularly music-obsessed crowd.

Chief Keef

Are you saying that Chief Keef is an artist whose legacy has improved/worsened

Improved, obviously

Yeah I didn’t hear much about him in the 00s

Hahaha.

The question in the thread title is whose legacy has improved in the 2010s. There’s nothing about the 00s involved

I can't

you will

lil wayne nosedived but is rising again, he'll ultimately be seen as one of the GOAT

Metaphorically Birdman handrubbing about the turn this thread is about to take

also willie had a great song at the end of red dead redemption, which is like the second biggest consumer product of all time or something.

Chris feigning superiority bc you are out of touch w the genre you cover isn’t the best look

I think lil Wayne just had the typical downward career arc this decade but no one serious would argue his legacy is anything but secure I would think

Gucci mane’s rep obviously solidified too, which no one here makes fun of me for bc now they all agree with it

It helps that he's had a such a positive & meme-friendly comeback, right?

No, I'm feigning superiority bc you are on a completely different trip than everyone else in this thread based solely on your creative way of interpreting words

Yeah though the music has been very forgettable by and large, I think in the long run it’ll affect his legacy poorly ... tho maybe not Elvis in Vegas level

You’re feigning to understand the discourse but I don’t know think you’re actually cognizant of it:

Chief Keef - They Know | Dir. @DGainzBeats https://t.co/GLS9AZjSu8 via @YouTube this my favorite Sosa song🔥🔥🔥🔥👌🏾 he paved the way for the new rappers!

I'm the first on this board to say you were right about Keef being influential, I'm just saying you're the only person in this thread to earnestly post about someone whose recording career began, like, seven years ago

or eight years, I guess

Wow, you know who else's stock has risen? Mitski and Snail Mail

Gotta say Tierra Whack? Definitely up!

You’re naming artists from the last two years, i named someone who’s career began at the beginning of the decade in question.

look technically if your rep went up during the 2010s then

Billy Eilish stock was down between last thursday and friday :'-( But up again!

Buy low sell high!

Ppl were talking about flying lotus and dubstep idk why keef would be off for the thread subject ... could also talk about afrobeats and kreayshawn and azealia banks and chillwave, thread concept still applies

You know what has gone down that we didn’t really talk about is the kind of hipster crossover dance music of the late 00s: nu disco and edits & that kind of stuff feels way less relevant to the current hyped sound I wd think even tho there are still sustained industries devoted to them

FlyLo's debut came out 15 years ago

Seemed to me his career only really hit peak critical attention circa 2010 💁🏻‍♂️

You guys are arguing just to argue

Who was made fun of or forgotten in the previous decade that's more respected now? Who was critically beloved but is now kind of a joke? Why?

If we’re sticking to that fine idk why based on the thread title tho, seems like stuff from the beginning of the decade being treated differently now is just as relevant

Maybe peak mainstream visibility, but there was a ton of hype around 'Los Angeles' and Low End Theory around '08.

Btw I have been meaning to say that LCD Soundsystem / DFA / etc. seems way down. Partially because of how they handled the reunion thing, but it also feels like the territory of disco bros and vinyl purists, and didn't catch on with the next generation.
