What contemporary songs will people become nostalgic for a decade from now, to the point where, in ten years, even fifteen to twenty years from now, people like us will talk about how "this is real music this is how good music used to be."

 

Literally the only thing I can think of it "Happy" by Pharrell Williams. I don't see that song getting old. It has the stylistic advantage of reminding people of the 90s or whatever time period.

 

Only song that is approximately ten years old/ from the "early 2000s" that I can think of as being "classic" is outkast's "Hey Ya", and perhaps Eminem's "Lose Yourself", altho not everyone can relate to the message of the rap.

 

I guess perhaps people will praise, like, Coldplay or something as being iconic of our times, but also somewhat enduring beyond our time.

...I do that with old music already.

Guardians of the Galaxy was really nostalgic. So glad they put out the Awesome Mix Vol. 1 for free the other day... xD

I think a lot of the MLP music is nostalgic already as well, though it's not really far enough back to be "old". Rather, when an MLP song is stuck in my head, I can't be unhappy.

 

...Also, Fountain of Wayne's "Stacey's Mom" ( :buttonsmom: to the EQ.tv crew! )

I can't think of many songs, but I recall the song Viva La Vida and Clocks by Coldplay. Many will remember those.
But right now, I don't think many people will feel nostalgic a decade from now for many of the songs out there now... Demons by Imagine Dragons? Don't by Ed Sheeran? Rude by Magic!? I don't know...
