    There’s a phenomenon called tiktokification of music that is the reason behind everything “sounding the same”, where artists are encouraged to make songs with very catchy choruses or sections that can be used in a short video. It ends up creating very similar songs that focus on the chorus and the quotable lyric.

    @@missoats8731 that’s what i meant when I put it in quotes. Not much complexity, all the talent is focused on making a useable sound for tiktok/instagram. That means the sound feels repetitive and uninteresting, done before. For example, taylor swift’s songs feel recycled. Antinoff did nothing to change the sound, and so the songs feel similar to each other and similar to her previous albums like folklore and evermore. This js more because she probably rushed it to be put out after tour. Or ariana’s song, which has little to no oomph on the song except for the chorus. The rest of her album uses other tactics. “yes, and?” Is the definition of something made for tiktok. “the boy is mine” uses a slow and understated trap beat with no flare or originality and does the chorus tiktok sound. Djo’s end of beginning didn’t try for a tiktokish sound, i think, but the chorus is definitely the main appeal, since the rest of the song is very monotone and dry. A song that doesn’t do this as much on this list is too sweet. Obviously, the chorus is supposed to be the best part of the song, but the verses aren’t overshadowed by the rest of the song here. They’re actually used as buildup rather than just blah blah blah drop. The backing then disappears and it lets hozier sing by himself, which kinda subverts the expectation. Basically what I’m saying is every sounds like they just want to get to the chorus. The “sameness” isn’t in actual sound, but in the feel of the verses and chorus. Part of this is my opinion, but the tiktokification is real

    Several of them sound like the creator consciously said, "start with grove and hook from [old hit]. Rewrite melody as X. Write middle eight Y. Finished." That "Bar Song" one was shameless. And not even good. And the whole "R&B going country" trend is just not working. It will continue, but it's producing superficial, soulless music. It's Pat Boone's cover of "Tutti Frutti" all over again, but in reverse.

    For pop music, sure. But there's still a lot of good music if you get away from Pop. Rock and metal have come so far in the last decade or so. The indie music scene is wonderful and has been for a couple decades. Electronic music has also come a long way. Basically everything except pop. Pop has gotten significantly worse but everything else has done pretty well.

    Beato, I appreciate your perspective on things. Over the years, I think I fell asleep to some of the similarities in music, but vids like this one help to start waking me up again. As far as the the Boone song topic goes, that upper range is the sound of near straining the voice; I say that because that's the same sound my voice makes when I start getting to notes that are too high. I usually try to avoid it. Sometimes it can be overcome by just belting it out with more air pushing it (maybe even with some real grit behind it), but that doesn't always work.

    A.I. just copies music that its heard before being interesting being unique is not something it can do. Music is the one thing human beings kind of pull from the ether. If you ever seen Ricks interview of Seal, when he wrote some of his biggest songs he couldn't read music yet. He just wrote what felt right, same thing with jimi hendrix or most legendary virtuoso early rock and blues guitarists they couldn't read music to save their lives but they could play you anything in the universe. A.I. doesn't have any feelings, it just works off a template so it can't create new feelings, why? ultimately it's programmed to make something safe that people already like to make money. Human beings don't make music for money it's a human endeavor to express something you almost can't express with words.

    One of the things about pop music that I can't f-ing stand is they do not build to anything. I want DYNAMICS, I want CRESCENDO, I want a GRAND FINALE; or if there is a bridge/middle verse where the subject reaches a realization/breakthrough, it needs to feel distinct. You need to GO SOMEWHERE by the end of the song. Or you need to go somewhere in the middle and then return to home, but it needs to be modulated, a call back to the beginning if you will.

    Because anything that has more than three chords and a 4/4 beat is too "prog" for normies to digest and 98% of music listeners fall into the category of "normies". Kurt Cobain figured out the formula. Two chords, verse chorus repeat verse chorus outro. Very easy to shoot your smack and nod your head to

    Simple: they're being pushed hard and if they win awards or get radio play the public tends to think they're good but that's not true. We're just being fooled. Also it's money and views that tell the public what's good and what's not these days exhibit A: Taylor Swift, Beyonce, Kanye, Ice Spice. It's sad but that's the music industry for you. Everyone's confirming to be popular even if it means the quality of their art is subpar.

    @@johnwrath3612 I absolutely see what you mean and i think you are partially correct. But I also don't think its "easier" to be depressed on either side of the spectrum because every experience comes with different stuggles and isolating challenges. Depression is terrible for everyone and discounting someones struggles just because they have money, to me, is wrong. Privilege and money may help insulate people from some of those experiences experienced by people who don't have the same resources, but, really, the experience is determined by the person not their monetary status. Say what you want about billionaires or rich people in general, I just think that most people are still deserving of empathy (not necessarily /sympathy/, but certainly empathy)

    Writers moved to this sort of format years ago. They either write a song with one hook, or sometimes put a couple together, once they would have been used for commercials - nowadays they are used for tiktok videos, typically a thin preamble often in an Indy voice, quickly switching to the anthemic hook, just in time for the "influencer" to open the doors to their van life, or lake view, or them having an inexplicably ecstatic experience on a pretty street or drinking their matcha. Basically you need to have a 30 sec song, going from furtive to triumphant in around an 80/20 ratio. And have a 15 second version available too.

    Almost all the issues I have with popular music is the fact that they dumb down any musicianship or instrumentation to just underwhelm you with a mediocre centrepiece of vocals mixed with some shitty autotune. Voices without autotune sound so much more real and raw resulting in a much more emotional sounding performance rather than a coffin dressed up in glitter to make it seem bright and alive when really it’s just housing a corpse.

    She’s been doing “ THAT “ since she first broke into pop pablum . She knows a few chords on guitar, and piano which is very limiting . Taylor doesn’t have the Joni Mitchell gene by a long shot. Joni had a huge vocal range ,and sophisticated tunings on the guitar where she pushed the envelope . Joni went from the personal Blue to Court and Spark in three years . She then went down the jazz path thereafter. Sadly that’s when he started to tank commercially . Several jazz influenced albums showed Joni falling out of favour with the musical hoi polloi. Mingus was the end of her commercial success. Listen to “ RAISED ON ROBBERY “ intro Joni did all her own harmonies long before there was autotune.

You can see on the chorus of the first song when he messed up around 1:00, he kept looking back at the chart on his left to get on track. You'll fanboi disagree because you've never played any reading gigs, but when someone is looking at their left hand and makes a mistake when playing by ear, they don't look away from their left hand and then back at their hand and then away again. This is why he changed the position of the charts for the rest of the songs to be close to his left hand (down and in front of him - on a desk). If you look closely at his eyes, you'll see him going from looking at his hand to the chart like at 4:54 several times. Also, at 5:17, if he has never heard the song or didn't have a chart, he wouldn't have changed from playing F chords to an Fsus2 directly on the beat. He would have expected an F chord again and played that and then changed it to Fsus2 upon hearing the 3rd was missing from the chord but he didn't do that. I could go on and on, but you're going to ignore it all anyway.

    i'm 64. i've often read that people prefer the music of their youth. i don't love the music on this vid but if i were young i imagine i'd be enjoying it as much as i enjoyed the music i listened to when young

    My kids couldn't get enough of my late '60s, early to mid '70s LPs when they were young. A lot of their sound track was actually from my generation. That era is still popular today, so a lot of young people are still having that as their sound track.

    Omg! Hilariously accurate. Love the honesty. And moderate shade, supported by sound argument

    I know there's got to be someone who has already suggested this but doing these kind of breakdowns with Top 10s from different decades would be awesome.

    If you're looking for something kind of like that in the meantime, Professor of Rock does that sometimes (if you can stomach his content/delivery)
