Some of the dance/club type stuff from the early 2000s I didn't mind, it was lively, but this seemed to fade out and this awful rap noise became dominant Even when you take a brief walk to the shop, there are always a group of kids with the stuff blaring out on phones. Dreadful.
I'm the same, hate the stuff. It's just attitude, not music. However, not only do kids like it so do some of my colleagues at work who aren't kids.

It's just utter, utter crap. Noise pollution, not music.

The late 2000's when every Rap and R'n'B artist jumped on the EDM bandwagon was a pretty dire time for Dance Music back then... especially when beyond the charts and the EDM hype there were still good records being made and the kind of stuff getting the attention around that time, David Guetta, Calvin Harris, Black Eyed Peas etc. etc. was very throwaway and a regression (for me a bad one) from what had built the Dance scene up to around the early 2000's say. Also some very known DJ's like Tiesto and Paul Van Dyk etc. jumped on that (£££$$$) bandwagon at the time too... Yes times change but that stuff was...
Fortunately (outside the charts at least) a lot of decent electronic and Dance stuff is getting made and put out fairly recently if you look beyond the Capital, Heart, Radio 1, MTV etc. pushed content.

Thought of a couple of others, Rod Stewart and Elvis Costello.
Rods early stuff from the 70s, and his albums Night on the Town and Atlantic Crossing were great, but the last single if his I liked was Ain't Love a bitch from early 79. Similarly Elvis Costello was absolutely brilliant in 77/78/79, but then seemed to fade away.

Both those artists 80s output never hit the heights of the years you mentioned. The 80s was a fallow period for some very big names in the business. Paul McCartney is a good example. Two good singles over the decade was a huge slide from his previous output.

Two good singles over the decade was a huge slide from his previous output. Having dealings with Heather Mills might have had some bearing on that.
I heard him on Radio 2, interviewed by Ken Bruce - must be around 2005/6ish. He mentioned that he had just managed to secure a better royalties deal - as he felt he had been getting shafted by record labels for most of his career. Ken Bruce asked him - cheekily, just how good the new deal was. Paul told Ken that he was over the moon as he had won his case for a huge increase to - 7%.
So - what the hell was he on before this; and if it was something like 3 or 4% - how many records has he had to sell to make the cash he had back then...
It surprised me as I assumed he was on something like 25%, and had increased to something like 40%..... So the other 93% ends up elsewhere.

I think Madness were another. They were at their best in 79/80/81, maybe just into 82, I loved their early two tone/ska/nutty stuff, but their later singles were less distinctive and memorable.

Agree with Madness. They burned bright in that period and that has served them well over the years. The rise of dance music from the mid to late eighties onwards left a lot of previously successful artists without much success for their efforts. Artist's with a great back catalogue have been on to a winner because touring has been the best revenue source over the last twenty years or so. New albums wouldn't make too much money I would wager. It's interesting to see all the great old music gain new fans amongst the younger generations. I would think that helps drive demand for the live shows.
