I have since moved on from AJR, their sound is not in line with my music taste today, but The Paper Kites will always be a favorite of mine. With that my 8 th grade taste was even more interesting as I listened to artists like AJR and The Paper Kites. Later in time, the artists released a song together entitled “Lovely.” (It is so good I listened to it just last night). I heard her song “Ocean Eyes” and his song “Young, Dumb, and Broke” and thoroughly enjoyed it. A prominent artist I found before their extreme level of popularity was Khalid and also Billie Eilish. It wasn’t until middle school that I developed a taste for more niche artists. Throughout the rest of elementary school, I enjoyed the same types of music. (If you never had the app Video Star, you did not have a childhood.) During this age I also loved listening to Jack Johnson, especially his song “Upside Down.” Many other Katy Perry songs caught the attention of children my age and I would especially listen to them and even make Video Stars to them. This was an insanely popular song that was released in 2013. With that, my absolute favorite song in 4 th grade was “Roar” by Katy Perry. However, the song “You Belong with Me” became popularized and won a Teen Choice Award in 2010. Furthermore, I also loved Taylor Swift’s songs “Love Story” and “You Belong with Me.” These songs were recorded in her album entitled “Fearless,” which was released in 2008. (This song I continue to listen to today). I especially loved the song “Sunday Morning,” as it had a nice calming sound. When I was in second and third grade, I loved listening to Maroon 5, not so much now. I learned all the words to this song and sang it often. My favorite song in kindergarten and 1 st grade was “Hey Soul Sister” by Train (which was released in 2009, but I frequently listened to it through 2010-2011). Many songs were upbeat, at least the ones on the radio, and did not carry heavy messages. To describe the “vibe” of the 2010s in one word would be “vibrant.” From my perception, as a child, I saw all the color aspects of music during this time. Now, I agree that these artists are valid and accurate represent the “vibe” of the 2010s, but these are not all my go-to artists. who were familiar names in the early 2000s, but especially made their way in the 2010s.īillboards Top 10 Artists of the 2010s are as follows: However, Pop continued to prevail with rising artists such as Taylor Swift, Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, etc. With that, music genres in themselves had many different eras and phases.įor example, Hip-Hop turned into the Pop genre as many Hip-Hop artists were becoming more mainstream. I have eras for each listening year and specific songs that strongly represent each era. I also found my own style of music that I was into. We went through elementary and middle school listening to the radio and then transitioning to apple music or Spotify to stream our favorite songs.ĭuring this decade I found many new songs and discovered the names and artists that I heard so often on the radio, but never paid attention to. However, all in all, this decade has music that we remember and may be the most nostalgic to our childhood as this decade was a critical period in our young lives. The music that we listened to in 2010 varies greatly from songs we listen to in 2016 and even more so in 2019. The 2010s arguably hold the most recognizable songs for our generation.
