There's been an upswing in things sounding similar and they have a coined name for it 'The Millennial Whoop'.

I personally don't listen to many songs with vocals or lyrics so I found it amusing to note.

 

Everyone wants to sound like Tarzan Boy(italo disco),no science there,just pure facts.

 

I'd noticed this; it's especially pronounced because of the Auto-Tune effect. Each decade's pop music has such a characteristic mannerism, though. '50s rockabilly songs commonly began with, "Welllll . . ." In the latter '60s, it was the word "yeah" at the end of the song. In the '70s, it was the "woah" filler at the ends of lines of soft-rock songs, spiraling upward from the tonic to the fifth, and sometimes with an added fillagree up to comlete the octave, then back down to the fifth. In the '80s, a lot of big-hair synth-pop songs used the "woah-oh-oh" as hook-filler, though even without it, the shrill-sounding instruments and stiff arrangements rendered it all so monotonous. In the '90s, it was the post-Cobain snarl-slur (which I still detect in the vocals of some new/young pop/rock bands). Post-2025, if things keep going as they are, it will be something akin to this, albeit Auto-Tuned to uniformity.

 

Yes, it does all sound the same. Everything sounds exactly alike. I'm a millennial, but I hate it. I'm extremely disappointed in my generation because most of them are stupid & selfish disloyal people. Which gives folks like me a bad name, because I'm not like that. I was always the biggest outcast of this generation (I'm only 23 years old). And that's basically why - because I'm not stupid enough for them.
Yep. I listened to the radio the other day (still having nightmares of it as we speak). Honestly it all sounded like one big never ending song. All the singers sound EXACTLY the same. All the instruments sounds the same, all the same beats, all the same goofy ass shallow lyrics (I love you I hate you, beer parties sex butts tits & all that other shit). All the same chords, just all the same trash really.
As for all the singers sounding the same - Go look up these singers: Taylor Swift, Ellie Goulding, Alessia Cara, Lorde. Now go listen to their vocals & tell me they don't all sound exactly the same. Ok.
Now go look up these retards: Zayn Malik, Chris Brown, Drake, Ed Sheeran, The Weeknd.
Tell me they don't all sound the same. They all sound the same to me.
This is why abortions are a thing nowadays. Because the last thing evolution needs is more 13 year olds to pollute the universe with more musical trash like this.

 

For the most part, it's not the so-called "artists" fault. The musicians and singers are just playing to the lowest common denominator, because most of the population are musical morons (I don't think this phenomenon is exclusive to any specific generation), and this is the only music that they can understand or appreciate.

 

Lol woah they must give the Nobel or something to the guy who discovered this useful, unknown, very interesting fact!
On a serious note, it's pop songs, who cares? If they were different they wouldn't be pop

 

it's a woah not a whoop.

this has been around for a very long time, just a way to move into the next part of the song, add energy.

personally, i like it. i listen to a lot of songs with it.

 

I dunno about that but my missus would be happy if I looked like Tarzan!


I cant 'elp it if I look like Cheeta !!

 

You`ve got to love this kid.

 

Oh my goodness!! I think you have given me a great idea how to get 10 songs in to the top 100 Beatport Chart ( I meant Billboard, but beatport will do)

 

I dunno about Millennial Whoop. it started in 1930 something.

 

That's not why. It's more like these little souls are begging out because they know what the world is about to become, and can you blame them. It is a two way street though, their mothers feel the same way.

 

Forget the free stations. They are not for you (as musicians).

All around us are full of what we enjoy or dislike. Just find what pleases you more.

 

Why is nobody complaining that there is a kick drum in almost every track? Or why are there still guitars in so many songs? And why do will still like Mozart? Copying from others or getting inspired from existing works is an essential process in creating new things. Nothing in life comes out of the blue, there has always been "something" before. If one wants builds a house, there must be wood. Or stone. Or something else that one can use to build the roof, the walls and so on. Isn`t this the same in music?
There is no two year old child that can compose a symphony. It first has to learn, what music is, and what isn`t. It gets kind of socialized what is good or bad music, what is emotional and what is not. And a lot more. In the end modern music / pop music is definied by clear rules and the way we are socialized to all the other things in life and in the society we live in, we are also socialized to "pop music".
I think this whole topic is quite complicated. Not all musicians and composer are stupid. And the same goes with the listeners. Maybe these kind of "sounds" / melodies / vocals touch people in their "pop music hearts". Mabye this works for the majority of people and is what they want and expect. Why change it then?

 

I don't complain because I want my mini-tracks to be like every track but always have problem in lots of things such as drums. Would you please tell me the secrets of creating good electronic drums?

 

Meet me on the east side of the bridge at midnight.
Come alone and bring a brown paper bag with $10,000 in hundreds, a full 100 of them. If you do as I say, I will bestow upon you the ultimate secret, the magic formula for creating good electronic drums. Cross me and bring the cops and I promise you, you'll never write a worthwhile piece of music again!!!

 

Ian Curtis was the last "real" vocalist

 

I thought that Patti Smith was the last real vocalist.

 

Are you from Los Zetas? Please have mercy on me! I'm just a simple music lover. I don't want to be murdered.

 

I thought Putin was the last real vocalist.(starts at 1:10).
Song is called Bljuberry Hill.
