The 10's popular tunes? I mean, I'm unsure how to see what was popular in the 10's now, though I notice a pattern of haziness present in the sound. For instance, the tune on the link from The Naked And The Famous felt like an answer to a question no one ever asked – what do you get, when you mix rock and chillwave? True, the chillwave part seems a bit – ha! – ephemereal to the whole composition, but I observe the sonic ethos of the genres as the hit sounds like a half-remembered battle anthem that is sung after a memory trigger. Sure, the emotions are still there, but the times are distant now you can only perceive them as an echo. Still, there are some parts that still hit harder than one would have assumed.
