Dude, pop does not mean bad music or commercial music at all! Unfortunately, that is what a lot of people call"pop" today! Pop music or popular music refers to a song that is quite simple, everyone can enjoy it and it's catchy! That is a pop song a song that every person rocker, metalhead, hip-hop head or a guy that is not into music at all can enjoy it! For example, The Beatles released a lot of pop songs that were extremely beautiful catchy and for everyone! Queen is another band with great pop songs, Elton John has a lot of cool pop songs, Michael Jackson is a pop artist, Bee Gees, etc.! And yeah for example "Been A Son" by Nirvana it's a great pop song, in my opinion, catchy simple and everyone can sing along and enjoy it, nothing complex about it! Again sadly today's pop music or at least what we call pop it's just a bunch of EDM, reggaeton stupid music without any feelings and with annoying lyrics!

I really love whatching your Videos. Thank you !

i love this song and i love the nevermind recording. It always sounded to me like a song the Beatles would come up with if they were starting in 1990. i like the play with the lyrics too. i hate that pop has such a negative connotation. i get it, but it makes great bands sometimes fuck up a song because they’re worried they would be stamped with “pop” slur.

As far as your comment on seeing rock band with instruments out of the norm check out Dredg if you havent heard of them interesting good stuff man

How Nirvana Made Smells like teen spirit

I think on a plain is the most rock and roll song on the record, just like they hit the folk angle with sitw and punk with terr. Piss.

the very beginning of the song is a warmup kurt used to do before jamming

To instruments, I am very appreciative of you mentioning an instrument that makes you connect with your roots. I like that :) tho there’s folk music that is alright, but much folk music of these days is played with a disconnected with the land or blood and kind of universal view of the world. Which is often making me feel confused about it. I want to like it, but there’s something I want to feel. In my country the nr1 folk song is about the royal family and not about our country or folk at all. I think Krist since he has Slavonian roots, the instrument he also played at the unplugged session perhaps was sounding as if it hit home for him. I think there’s richness in the way people are able to express themselves. I don’t know so much native instruments of my country, there’s so much lost about history so I gotta rely on what convinces me the most in my findings. But I play guitar and that is also close to home for me 😎

Thanks Wilhelm, I do think it's cool when musicians incorporate elements of their background into their music, it adds an interesting layer to things, what's your background? Yes you're right, Krist did played the accordion at the unplugged gig partly for that reason - & that's cool that you play guitar

@Newwaver2007

I am Saxon, I think there might be some instruments that could relate to my background, but I am still finding out. I did however translate some local folk song that my parents sometimes sing in a Rockabilly version which makes it catchy for me and it feels like giving something back. The guitar is a wooden instrument, and my ancestors saw life in objects too. Which makes the guitar a piece of a tree, which in that way is connected to mother earth, and the wood has her moods whether it's cold or warm, and it actually becomes a friend who vibrates and expresses what you give her. I think, what if we would see the objects we like as living creatures, would we treat them differently? :)

I really appreciate your videos - but to not be able to see the link in the line "a mosquito, my libido" is a huge, huge oversight. I've always thought that was one of his more obvious lines in its meaning and not random in any way

Isn't a pop song a simple catchy song, a sing along kinda song??

@inset09

4 жыл бұрын

I honestly believe so. And I imagine rock n roll isn't mainstream now because rock musicians aren't creating catchy songs that normal people can sing along, they're targeting only rock listeners. People also refuse to call bands like Kings Of Leon and Coldplay rock bands, and can't accept what's new. I mean, there is plenty of good bands from the past and that's alright but they grew because in that time people was open to listen to what were new and now people just listen to old songs because they can't admit rock songs are still being created.

A "pop song" is a song that falls under the label, "pop music", which itself is an *abbreviation* of the term "popular music". It's a term that creates B R O A D label for music. Music is often sorted by "style", "type", "category", or "genre" -- four words for essentially the same thing. "Pop music, however, while it COULD be considered a "genre", really is better understood as a MODIFIER for music and musical genres. This is why terms like "pop rock" and "pop punk" are often used. While, again, these labels (pop rock \ pop punk) are often used as genres themselves, it is probably better if you try to keep your understanding of genres to be more limited in scope, and reserve "pop" as a modifier in your brain. TL|DR START HERE: So, "pop music" really means, ANY music, within ANY genre, which keeps to a format, and maintains musical stylings that work to MAINTAIN AS BROAD OF A LISTENING AUDIENCE AS POSSIBLE, an audience that is, in fact, a POPULAR audience. In other words, the music in question could reasonably be considered to be "POPULAR". A DEFINITION: Music of any genre that gains popular appeal, that is liked by a broad demographic, and often that achieves approval outside the bounds of its nominal genre's fan-base, is considered "pop music". When people (as you do above) say that "pop music" is "catchy", they are speaking to the piece of the 'definition' above where it says "keeps to a format, and maintains (generally likeable) musical stylings". That is, true pop music not only achieves a broad audience, it does so deliberately, by following a handful of (absolute) rules set and refined in the modern era, that establish the song's format in a way deliberately crafted to cultivate broader appeal. These rules, "absolute" in the sense that adhering to them is not generally considered optional by industry vets if you want a guaranteed "hit, are things like "under three and a half minutes", "intro, verse, chorus, verse, breakdown, chorus, verse, chorus, chorus, outro" (don't quote me on the specifics there, but there IS a formula, just google "pop song formula"), "no more than 3 chords (4 at most)", and so forth. RECAP: So pop music is ANY music from any style that achieves broad popular appeal, and does so DELIBERATELY through the use of very specific and well accepted formulaic rules. These rules are followed in an almost cult like way by song writers and producers in the industry, and they know that to stray from "the formula" is to deliberately "sabotage" the "pop" in their music. I'm not saying a 9 minute song (November Rain, cough cough) can't be perceived as pop music, but these outliers almost *always* do so on the backs of previous songs by an artist or composer that pre-establish them as popular enough to break formula and still be considered for promotion. Notice i said "perceived" as pop music, because if you played November Rain on the air today, it very likely would get panned, or at least would not get nearly the MASSIVE level of air play and appeal it did back in it's day. That is because it severely BROKE formula. It was NOT "pop music", but because of the success and reputation of the band, the song was given promotional support, and listeners, already keyed in to the band and accepting them based on previous output gave the song a chance, and it was PERCEIVED as a pop song, although not true to formula. Anyhow. My crack hit is wearing off. TTFN Snap. CRACKle. Pop.

Great series, Daniel. Keep hearing how pissed Kurt was with the shape Nevermind took, but is it normal that an artist is so far removed from the ultimate product? Seems like a fashionable cop-out. My question would be, “then why’d you release it like that?”

@richardcullins7869

4 жыл бұрын

Kurt not liking the shape nevermind took is a pretty fair statement. He was very involved with the production, and knew it rocked.. Still, unhappy with a few things about it. Like, double tracking his vocals and guitars. He thought it sounded "way to slick". He wanted to stay true to his punk rock values and style. Being called a sellout is something he was willing to face, and he didn't mind. He was just a one of a kind artist & person who's genuine style and original music/album hit at the right time. He had a severe heroin addiction, but never really hit rock bottom bc he could afford his habit. The negative effects of the drugs made the already hard challenge of handling mega rock stardom nearly impossible. He felt guilty that he let butch vig and andy Wallace make nevermind sound so damn good. Sounds crazy bc it is. Still, Kurt was a remarkable artist.

Plain!!!

"im on a plain, i cant complain" shows the oddity in being alive. Like OK LETS START THIS OFF.. with a contradiction. and heres some other wierd things that happens in life.. and now the hook is that im on a plain.. but its word play because plain and plane(meaning mathematically dimensional) can be the same thing.. but spelling it as plain leads to the higher dissection that being alive is boring and or beautiful imagery of an actual plain, like farmland. "i cant complain" is because none of this is choice, its like being thrown into aliveness. and its punchy riffs are a dramatization of what happens when you are "thrown " into it.. into the frying pan. Its entirety is a wordplay of victim and action.. meaning that he is the blacksheep but at the same time he tried blackmailing somebody but in his own stupidity and lack of caring (being too plain) he forgot to add on the address of his intended extorter. its a psychology dive into not having enough care to harm because you are harmed.. thus making yourself metaphorically "neutered and spayed" in the act of reaction. This in turn keeps putting us back into the the beginning where you are THROWN into aliveness and forced to react, but you are stupid and plain and it just works out... so you cant really complain. again the punchy riffs kind of pedaling us into this anecdote poetry of proof. My favorite line of the entire song is "the finest day that ive ever (never) had was when i learned to cry on command" because that is the core of the song. being thrown into aliveness and learning to cry... but over time u learn not to cry .. and then it all becomes very .. very... very... plain. flat. like math. plane of existence.

so to say kurt was random or his poetry meant nothing to me is just garbage. he may have finished lyrics at the last minute but i truly believe that was him tricking his subconscious into letting the art speak freely within his confines of already designed thematic angles. they werent dramatized though, as these angles were his core beliefs or feelings .. and on a plain to me is the UMPH of just crash landing into it all. I bet he even imagined the album starting with that song but through his cheeky mind he decided wouldnt it be great to "lets start this off" towards the end? like why not rearrange your songs within your vision like burroughs and complicate it even more?
