20 minutes of great researched facts and insights.

 

Spot on! An average person with or without musical talent can buy a Mac and have more recording power with GBand than the Beatles ever dreamt of at Abbey Road in the 60s. Yet, today's music mostly STINKS. I can't even listen to the radio. It's sucks the life out of my creativity . . . it paralyses my muse.

 

Necessity is the mother of invention.
Yet we are so overpowered these days that nothing is really necessary. It all becomes supplemental.
I'm guilty of this too.

 

Finally "scientific proof" that acting like Grampa Simpson when I hear current pop charts isn't just senility.

 

I'd rather listen to @foster911 's noodling than Miley Cyrus' dildo show tunes..

 

If you think "Pop Music" is terrible and didn't know that it was never meant to be as perfect as, say classical music, then you are ready to move on from Pop to better genres.

 

A lot of people even don't care to learn a Synthesizer or how things work in general, they just zap through presets and take the first matching which they like. There is nothing wrong in using entirely presets , but sometimes it might be a good idea to just learn the synth and tweak a sound as it sounds as you like instead of zapping through thousands of presets which takes even longer than creating it yourself :D

I have observed that it is quite hard to find musical sounding presets from several synth, most 'sound designers' seam to be more interested in producing less harmonic stuff to formulate it in a polite way.

No wonder that most preset driven music sounds like crap

this sort of ... SIMPLE conclusions by YOUTUBERS tend to explain it ALL.. always.. like POLITICIANS.. explain it all in a very simple WAY.. yes.. a lot of MUSIC is 100% garbage specially adele.. marron 5.. coldplay.. justin.. etc.. and on and on.. but it is NOT.. just about .. the transients.. and.. levels of the song.. is about the SONGS it selfs.. it doesn't matters if you use.. a drum machine.. or a real drum.. 300 violins plating the f.. note.. like in europing elite.. classical bullss..t.. like HANS ZIMMER:. it is all sh..t. it is about the songs. the conbinations.. with or without.. words.. with or without .. the quality of the recording and mixes.. the air.. that surrounds the live of the composer.. the intensity.. of the intension.. etc..
I personally HATE this simple explanations.. by youtubers.. that things they had figure it out all.

 

I didn't HATE it. And I didn't know there was a an entire section of society that identify as youtubers.

 

i canot risk to watch this, im scared i could hear some of this crap, resulting in an earworm i cannot get out of my head, despite not liking it.
i left TV and Radio a long time ago.
this stuff is not just terrible, its toxic.

 

...that Swedish guy learns languages damn quick... coz just ckecked and the 3.5 B - YT most viewed song atm, is in Spanish... And I can certainly find that tomatoes are the best antioxidants ...but on the other hand cause cancer,,, aaah the beauty of net. And who can hate a guy that just reassured me that the "system" sucks... and not my music, lol

 

Just goes to show, it's certainly not the tools that create art, it's the artist.

 

A 20 minute video for explaining such a simple question is definetely not needed. Just one word would have been enough:

"Autotuner"

 

This critique is obvious stuff most of the people on this forum and even out there know already since 10 years.

But its good that he speaks it out and summs it all up nicely for n00bs.
How he is dickriding the beatles is great, like who doesnt.

Now if you would excuse me, i have to get back to making da FAT TRAP BEATS (those with the awesome hihat rolls!)
and record some guy yell MONEY and GETTIN BITCHES onto it with my premium analouge equipment.

Oh and the ocassional PARDYY HAARD and WORK WORK WORK is obligatory of course.

Who has some more ideas? DRUGS? NO WAIT!! SEX!!!

Music the way we know it is dead mates. It became a thow away product. And it even pollutes the environment!
Take the guys that blew that shit at 2 am last night in front of my window, for example.

 

Every damn weekend, every damn weekend. Once one of them sneezed. They were scared when they heard me say "Gesundheit!". Quite pleasing.

 

who truly has time to even consider this shit? lol

Let's not forget the same chord progression that they use so often.

 

The reason pop music "sucks" is because all you alleged experts are to busy throwing vitriol and critique at people who are already successful. Instead of hustling, grinding, networking, promoting and getting your "masterpieces" out to be put up to the same test of scrutiny, y'all display now.

 

Looks like an orgone accumulator

 

'start listening to the “Hits” and “Now” compilation LPs from end to end. Of course, your conditioned brain will tell you it’s all a pile of shite and pale into insignificance compared to the Golden Era in Pop, when you were on the cusp of your adolescent years. Dig deeper into your heart and you will know that you are just lying to yourself. All eras in pop music are golden ages, or will be looked upon as such by the only generation that matters at any given time. Not only are all ages in chart pop equal, chart pop never changes, it only appears to change on its surface level.'
