Interesting watch. But for those too busy, here's the bullet points: *every single song uses the same combination of drum machine, synthesizer, and computer, aka homogenization. *almost every single major hit pop song of the last 20 years can be attributed to 2 producers/songwriters. *compression making everything sound so goddamn loud, no more dynanic range. *no more risks taken in pop music, everything is custom designed specifically just to make money(duh). *almost every hit uses the "millenial whoop" sound. The video guy specifically says that no, not all pop music now sucks, and it isn't meant to be an elitist issue. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

What's the millennial whoop Take katy Perry's California girls as an example In the chorus where she goes "whooaaa oohhhh ohhhh whoa". Or barber's baby, where he says "baby, baby, baby, ooooooohhhhhh". It follows a 4 chord thing specifically meant and fine tuned to be as infectious as possible. It's basically lab grown music lol --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

Modern pop really is some of the most garbage tier music in the history of mankind. 90% of what I listen to is all pre 2000. The only downside, especially bands from the 60s to 80s is not a lot of them make new music anymore.

I'm not bothered when someone points out that Beyonce has a large team when it comes to her music, but perhaps find a song of hers that isn't a sample that requires her to credit 4 of the 6 writers that most likely had nothing to do with the actual lyrics. --- I've lost the use of my heart, but I'm still alive. ...

The funny thing is that this kind of "popular stuff sucks" and "the masses have poor taste and I know better" sentiment is actually the popular thing to express now. Has been for a while actually.

I read something similar about the death of rock music recently. The argument was that basically every appealing chord combination has already been played, such that there are so few areas for originality within the genre.

i say it comes down to two things:
a.) there are too few major record labels with too much influence in the industry b.) the "indie" scene is over-saturated with musicians, making it nearly impossible for talented upstarts to get noticed (and when they do get noticed, they have to do as the big studios say.) --- bro ...

The question I would have is when did this all start?
I honestly look fondly back on the pop charts from even the early 2000's (I'm 33 and Canadian, FYI), and felt there was still some diversity that existed at that point. It has only felt like the past 10 years or so have been REALLY bad in terms of all pop chart music sounding exactly the same. --- It's art!

Nah, rock music has been suffering for the exact same reasons as pop. It's all about being catchy, easy listening, and appealing to the lowest common denominator in the name of maximizing profits. I'd say the increasing monetization of entertainment media is a hallmark of this decade. --- SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SlG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SlG ...

Pop music today sucks if you're old. Just like old people back in the 60's were bitching that the Beatles were not Frank Sinatra. Just like old people in the 40's were bitching that that damn slick Italian Sinatra was nothing like Gershwin. On and on it goes. ... Copied to Clipboard!

I couldn't go much further in the video once it started with yet another fellating of The Beatles. True to some extent, but I think it's true that pop has become totally homogenized. In the 80s and 90s, there was a much bigger variety of how the mainstream songs sounded. Those were really adventurous times, before it became a total cow factory. ... Copied to Clipboard!
