The Weeknd is the best artist in the last 10 years and I’ll die on that hill

Heroes is better than All I Want, Drunk Girls isn't as good as White Light/White Heat or Boys Keep Swinging, Nightclubbing is better than Somebody's Calling Me, but I'll take North American Scum over Homosapiens, Dance Yrself Clean over Jamaica Running, and Losing My Edge over that Killing Joke track any day

i wouldn't say they're better, but they're a different take for sure. James' lyricism and ear for beats is what keeps those songs so fresh

They were hyping him in Littlebigplanet levels talking about brofist in 2010 or something and I've disliked him since

I feel the same way about hyperpop and pc music. Why they calling it hyperpop

He's also just a ridiculously good producer/mixer, his stuff always sounds fantastic

Damn I just skimmed his videos and this s*** is definitely giving kids brain rot

PC music had their own flavor. Hyperpop is basically just europop revival with a few different drums

Legit feels like end-stage hypercapitalism stuff, not a good vibe

Realest s***

Most respected for sure

Contrarians are gonna start hating on him soon to be different

The Weeknd is easily the most respected artist rn

In 60 years they will look back at the 2010s and Lana del Rey will be the name that comes up the most! Like nirvana with the 90s!

i'd like to see him produce for other artists more, plus those DFA remixes from the 2000s were so good lmao we need more of those

When Sophie passed people were saying "rip to the queen of hyperpop music". It irk'd me

There's this group called UGLY DUCKLING. Mostly corny underground white boy humor rap, a guilty pleasure for sure. But for some reason, their producer Young Einstein always went super crazy. It's a shame he never produced for anybody else.

There's youtube videos that tag him and Dilla as lofi now

It's so cringe

On that note, praising Charli XCX for "hyperpop" is corny imo when all she did was get her songs and beats from Danny L Harle, AG Cook and Sophie. They deserve the credit.

If he continues to keep up this creative output and quality throughout this decade, it looks like he will be the best artist of the 2020s

PC Music and hyperpop are the new goth and emo: normies dont know the difference between them lol

I hate both of them but no way I’m siding with the racist on anything

Another hot take:

The 1975 is the best band of the 2010s and one of the best bands of all time

Also, Matty Healy is arguably the best songwriter in the world right now

lmfao
