In your opinion music died in the ?

Never will. While instruments and people who want "awesome music" exist, such music will be made. It might get harder to find, or with the advent of technology it might become easier. Good music cannot ever die.

the mainstream music has been dead for at least the last 10 years, but if you spend some time to find music, there is a lot of good music out there

So there weren't any complete failures of songs in the 70's, 80's or 90's?! Somehow I doubt that.

I've only been around to hear recent music, and I wasn't around back in the supposedly great days of music. So all the music from that time people hear nowadays are the songs that were so great they survived time.

In 50 years I doubt Justin Bieber will be listened to, or appreciated. However, some of the good musicians of today will be...

unless you think of justin beiber and jls as music then music rocks

Completely mainstream music is dead. Everything just under the surface is still alive and well.

Music is not totally dead, but it has lost a great deal of integrity.

MGMT is living proof that good music can never die.

those who voted 'never' - how old are you? twelve?

2000s

90s.. Now in days any fucken jackass can make music lol

I think in the late 2000s.

On February 3, 1959, rock and roll musicians Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and J. P. "The Big Bopper" Richardson were killed in a plane crash near Clear Lake, Iowa, together with the pilot, Roger Peterson. The event later became known as "The Day the Music Died", after singer-songwriter Don McLean so referred to it in his song "American Pie".
So the answer is 1950's.

If I were to choose a year since which I don't think the calibre of popular music has been up to the quality of the generations before it, I'd say 2006. This is generally speaking of course. There is great modern music, but I've had to search much deeper for it since around 2006. For me, pop and rock genres peaked in the nineties and folk peaked in the seventies.

Music was dead when they started making rock and metal.

It hasn't died, its available on the internet still.

in between 80ies and 90ies it did

19th century.

Did nobody tell you?

Home taping killed the music industry in the 80's.

Video recorders killed the movie industry in the 90's.

And pirated games killed the video game industry in the 00's.

We're just enjoying their lifeless husks nowadays.
Yay DRM, yay ACTA, yay copyright.

ever since certain rap music came not all i like rap , but just certain kind

2000-present ... trust me im a faggotz

80's is great music, awesome synthesizers and voices.
It died a bit in the 90's (I like some, instead of dead let's say it went into limbo or wtf? Music.) Todays new age indie music is an awesome scene sometime. All in all, 80's rock and Indie rock are my favorites and music died in the 90's and reborn recently!

"Hey hey,
my my,
rock and roll can NEVER die!"
