What's the modern equivalent of "dating" a song?
Discussion
Random question here,
A friend and I were discussing how certain elements in a song can often indelibly date it to a certain decade - the most obvious examples being heavy use of synth in an 80s song, tambourines in a 60s song, etc. (yes I know there are many exceptions to the generalisation).
Anyway, we have said in the past that if we had a go at making a song ourselves (both of us are reasonably musical and quite fancy it) then it would be fun to try and make it obviously a 2010s song.
Question is, what IS the modern equivalent? Only thing we can think of is including dubstep bits in it, and we'd rather rip our ears off than do that!
