Hello fellow musicians, producers, singer/songwriters, artists and people who just sing under the shower!
I just saw this video on youtube and felt the need to share this. In this 20 min. long video, the user "Thoughty2" on youtube explains in a solid in scientifically way, why modern pop music has become what it is today:
TOTAL CRAP
Some important topics here are:
- brainwashing strategies of the music industry (the "mere-exposure effect")
- comparison between modern and "old" music (scientifically)
- the loss of quality in arrangement & variety in modern music
- why the top twenty pop artist all have the SAME SONGWRITERS (Max Martin / Lukasz Gottwald)
- the "millenial whoop" effect in pop lyrics ("same sh*t, different day")
- the decay in lyrics
- why the music industry doesn't support unique artists and choses to stuff millions into pretty replacable young people to sell the same stuff over and over again
- "the loudness war" and the loss of dynamic range and nuances in modern music
Actually, i started to produce my own music, because im sick of this decay regarding modern music.
Still Nirvana and Foo fighters are the really music for me, these days there are so many new artist with no great product at the industry, such a shame.
ahhh you are getting close. great post simon, feelin @mohdfattahilliah comment. The music industry is an island that has been tidal waved and spread out to sea. There is a whole lot of crap out there. This is why we jump in and mix shit up and try to fight the main stream standards of pure and utter trash. I was just watching the latest top tracks off billboard and i about threw up. This new taylor swift song............................................................................... sighhhhh back to wanting to throw up. dont get me wrong im not saying these people suck as you lol or are not talented, im just saying 201 million views in 3 days off complete and dramatic overly marketed crap with no meaning at all that holds any powerful weight to what it could as a song being listened to by so many.... this world is feeling like its just under a heavy fog or smoke... There is so much heart right in front of us, all our passions and desires as humans , tech is exploding and options everywhere but no way to get a grasp on anything long enough to put it in place for change. as music artists i feel like its our job to put the feeling back into life and the perspective of the real times outside the bullshit, this is why artists like lennon and the beatles and queen, pink floyd, cash, and nirvana, NWA, tupac, and eminem made music that was so memorable and holds time, because they had shit to say, shit to feel that was real... there was life in it and learning to be had off the feeling. mainstream music today is just a big billboard ad for bullshit.. it means nothing, everything with quality gets washed away as soon as the money starts rolling in. Greed holds its grip on every aspect of life....I will make music forever, I will sing about anything and everything I want, It will be real for me in every aspect, If I never make it to these big numbers and profits and fame its because I wouldnt comprise myself and my potential. Bullshit hitting millions means nothing to a great tune hitting just 1 at the right time. Sound inspires the human soul to action. We make music, We make waves of energy.......
the mainstream industry promotes a mindless digital shockwave of numbness and stale.

great bands, i especially liked the foo fighters decision to record a whole album on tape machines instead of using modern technology.
Yeah that's why they're legend! But this year they'll record an album with pop producer, can't wait to hear it.
let's see if they can save pop music
I have no doubt about it.
