This video is one of the best made videos I've seen this year. It is, in my opinion, the perfect summary of the 2010s decade. Not all of the music highlighted is good (he states this himself), but they all symbolize something very vital about the popular music and music consumption forms of the past decade. He highlights 13 artists, and either one of their songs or albums, and exactly how they influenced popular music last decade. 

Wanted to share it because it is the most accurate video of this form that I have seen. (shallow also gets a brief mention, and so does early gaga)

What was highlighted:

Skrillex - 'Scary Monsters & Nice Spirits'

The Weeknd - 'House of Balloons'

Lana Del Rey - 'Born To Die'

Psy - 'Gangnam Style'

Lorde - 'Royals'

Migos - 'Versace'

Beyoncé - 'Beyoncé'

Gucci Mane - 'Stoner'

Justin Bieber - 'Purpose'

Rihanna - 'Work'

Drake - 'Views'

J Balvin, Daddy Yankee & Justin - 'Despacito'

Billie Eilish - 'When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?'

I feel like a lot of you guys are gonna disagree, but I highly recommend you watch the video because the video proves exactly why these songs and albums are the perfect demosntration of music this decade.

To me the 2010s was defined by streaming, mumble rap and massive one hit wonders. 

The artist that best sums up the decade is Drake.

I agree that, for the most part, the last three years of the decade can essentially be wrapped up into this description.

The song Harlem Shake came out in 2012 and was ignored until it became a YouTube meme in early 2013. In that same year Billboard changed the Hot 100 formula to allow streaming to become incorporated into the charts: the song went to #1 and stayed there for 5 weeks as a result. Streaming has been influential since then.

True - mumble pop was only popular after 2016, but Drake has been popular all decade long, starting out with the indie crowd in 2010 and just getting bigger every year. Arguably mumble pop was hip hop’s response to whisper pop, which became massive in 2013 via Tumblr.

I meant I agreed with the mumble rap part and that Drake from about 2015-2019 was undeniably the world's biggest artist (though, yes he has been very big and influential throughout the decade). 

Streaming I definitely agree with you on. It is the most important and relevant thing to come out of the industry imo in the entire 21st century.

Streaming and also memes. I think meme culture has contributed a lot to many songs success. They’ve only gotten bigger and bigger. I can’t even imagine what could possibly happen next.

When he said that he would take it back to 2009 first I totally thought he would say Gaga...

When he emphasized that Lana put forward the “persona driven” pop. I thought that spot belonged to Gaga.

please enlighten me to death
