Subject: Songs from 2002-2004 sound outdated!

Written By: exodus08 on 02/25/19 at 2:37 pm

Are any of those songs from these years starting to sound dated?

"Gotta be more to life" by Stacie Orrico from 2003.

Usher's "Yeah" from '04

"Slow Jamz" (2004) by Twista

"Complicated" '02 by Avril Lavigne

Anything before 2016 is dated.

I'd say 2017.  My 2016 playlist even sounds quite dated at this point.

Most of the 2000s have sounded dated for quite some time now.

I guess so. Songs like My House and Cake By The Ocean wouldn't make it today.

All of those began sounding dated by 2006/2007 at the latest. Except for Slow Jamz by Kanye which is timeless.

Yeah by Usher gets a pass. It will never be completely dated.

Agreed. That aside, shouldn't this be under 2000s?

Every decade has its standards that live on in popular culture.  Think about all of the classic rock songs from the 70s and 80s that have become standards.  I would say 'Yeah' by Usher falls into that category.

Not only are those songs 'dated', they're also on the verge of being considered 'retro'. Anything prior to 2001 (especially pre 9/11) is safely retro at this point. So 2002-2004 is not far behind.

For me, anything before 2013 sounds dated, and anything before 9/11 sounds retro, and anything before 1981 sounds ancient...

Anything before 1981 ought to sound ancient; you're talking 40+ years ago for that time range.
