Why does pop music suck so bad now

90% Normal
14 Comments

I'm actually horrified by the amount of trash that gets put in the charts in the U.K, horrible songs like Rude, Bang Bang, Problem, Fancy, Hideway and all that stuff it's all just so trashy and for some reason it's popular, I'm sick of it I want proper artists like OneRepublic and Calvin Harris to get number 1's. Not rubbish artists like ariana grande, the vamps, Zedd, iggy azalea and nicki minaj, yes they can sing BUT THATS IT, they can't play instruments and if they can they certainly don't use them in their songs, I can't believe it when ariana grande talks about how girls are Put under pressure by boys to get skinny when in reality, she's the one shooting rockets out of her skinny flat chest, wearing almost nothing singing repetitive words for 3 minutes and for some reason THATS talent, are you serious. The hypocracy and ridiculousness of modern music culture disgusts me.

    The people who spend the most money on entertainment as a group are 1)pre-teen girls and 2)unemployed thugs on welfare, so the tastes of those two groups does not equal good music. Its what sells, baby.

    I think a large part of it is due to money. Nowadays, most record labels care more about making a profit than the quality of their music. Society has also gone downhill in many places, so this could be a by product of that. Another thing is Grunge. I was told that grunge was so depressing and sluggish that it caused music to swing in the other direction. This was pop music. People wanted to have happier music and be happy. Then it evolved to what it is now. In terms of auto-tune, we can blame this on Cher. Cher had a song that utilised auto-tune. The song was great and was a huge hit. Before this, no one used auto tune. After it became a hit, everyone wanted to have that sound.

    I do think that the time of rejoicing has come because, there are some musicians/singers who are making good music. Of course, these artists seem to be independent of the mainstream corporate label giants.

    Because you have come to an age where your brain has fully developed and solidified its melodic preference? After you reach that point, a lot of what you don't like sounds crappy to you.
