Top Ten Things That Most Ruined the Music Industry
Madonna was the one who started this stupid trend. She paved the way for mediocre singers to become famous because of their sex appeal and their willingness to create a provocative and overtly sexual image of themselves.
People love to look at themselves over others. They always flaunt themselves and put such a stress on it. This does ruin the music industry, but it definitely did not start from the music industry.
Justin at Number One? People still make good music, just it does not get popular enough.

Some songs sound fine with autotune but most singers who use it sound like robots. Autotune hides real singing talent and some singers abused it by using too much autotune
It's annoying! If you can't song well, then get good at it! Don't use an effect to make to sound like you can sing!
It gets worse when it targets minors to engage in such activity. It's one thing to use this reference as an allegory to something else, it's another thing to promote it.
Except for songs exclusive to animated movies.

I thought that whoever put this on the list, actually meant mumble rap. Rap was on fire and had legends back in the days, but then Lil Wayne ruined the music industry, and so did Nicki Minaj, so it is actually mumble rap such as Lil Wayne, Nicki Minaj, Drake, Future and Young Thug. This rap as a whole did not ruin the music industry, it's just most of today's rap, best known as mumble rap.
I disagree rappers like 2pac Eminem notorious b.I.g and even some current rappers like Kendrick Lamar aren't that bad I'm not saying rap is the best (there is a lot of bad current rap) but it's definitely better then some other genres (country )
Rap started off okay but now a lot of songs sound like a 6 year old put together lyrics they found in some angry deviants journal. Bring back talent, instruments and melody.
Thank you! I was scared this wouldn't be on the list. This should totally be #1. Music is mostly about sin nowadays, it's so sad. End times are here.
That's all there is to music. Except Tones and I but her singing could really use some work so that it sounds less annoying.
This is just becoming exacerbated through Internet culture.

This gets my vote because MTV is a Tele-VISION and focuses more on what you see (looks) than on what you hear (music).
Video killed the radio star.
MTV always cares incompetent pop stars.
I really hate that people think this. I love rock music, but that doesn't make me a satanist or something.
Could at least put this at number 4?
It was much popular back then.
Peer pressure levels through the roof. It's honestly awful.
Which songs in particular?

Justin Bieber is best known for his songs "Baby" and "What Do You Mean". He currently has seven videos that exceed 1 billion views on YouTube, which are "Baby", "What Do You Mean?", "Sorry", "Love Yourself",... read more
Just because he isn't a great singer doesn't mean he ruined the music industry. There have been much worse artists. One single song like Baby didn't ruin the whole music industry
Why do people always say he's that bad? I mean, he's not the best singer in the world. But I still think he has a lot of talent.
He is the logical result and product of this same industry - he embodies it.

Her music from 2008-2010 were much better.

It got a lot worse in the very late 2010s and early 2020s with even more crappy and cringeworthy sounding music from this genre.
Its made with ghost producers and sounds all the same.


Something is wrong with this in this list, Nu Metal is the best Metal genre out there and one of the coolest genres of all time.
That's all there is to music now.

The biggest ass to ever walk the face of the earth.
He is one of the reasons why the Charts is Crap.
Hope he goes away soon. He is a 'Disgrace' to 'Music' so he is, giving us 'Honey G' who has no Talent at all. Wanker he is...

These guys and Bieber will soon fade away, we should be so lucky as to have Rap fade away just as quickly.
Though I'm pissed that they did not disband, I think they actually sounded BETTER without zayn...
The are stupid. Once I said "I don't like one direction" on msp and some teen girl told me to kill myself.
You got that right
Honey screaming fans have existed long before we were born. Frank Sinatra started this trend along with Elvis. The Beatles had the biggest one but they tried to end it just to take their music career seriously.
Screaming fans are nothing new; Rudolf Valentino in the 1920's, Bing Crosby in the 1930's, Frank Sinatra in the 1940's, Elvis Presley in the 1950's, etc, etc. etc.
Worst music genre ever.
They may not be applicable to all genres, but they do take a lot of talent. I don't really see songs that have pretty long guitar solos nowadays. But I'm not saying that having no guitar solos is bad.
I think there are still songs with guitar solos these days, just not as much as before. Even AC/DC's newest song has a guitar solo
The only number 1 songs of the year with guitar solos are thinking out loud and rude. there not really eddie Van Halen.

How she isn't in the top 10?
Need I say more?
Nicki Minaj for example duh...
In music videos

No one uses Napster anymore. We have piratebay and it's 100 times better then Napster. I support music downloading and if you don't like it tough
