  • Some say pop music is dead.. I don't know if I agree though. So today I take a little bit of a dive into pop music and how it's changed over the course of the last decade.
    THANKS FOR WATCHING!

    During the 2010’s, I was definitely a “pop music sucks” guy. But now that I’m older, there’s some pop music that absolutely slaps

      I remember early 2010s pop music (especially the EDM oriented ones) felt so lively, upbeat and youth-ish

    i mean popular music fluctuates between happy and moody and it has been since the 50s. the happiness eventually gets boring, so more moody music gets popular until that's the dominant sound, but eventually that gets boring and it goes back

    I don't think music is dead, I think media in general is fractured right now. Probably because the transition is happening where gen alpha will become the forefront for trends. (We're so cooked)

    With the way things have been since COVID (which i won't go into for the sake of keeping it short), i feel like people have given up on "the hot new stuff coming out" and are clinging to childhood nostalgia for dear life as their go-to "escape from the problems of the real world"

  • @the.aardvark
    @the.aardvark Před 2 měsíci +3

    2010s pop is great cause all the songs were about nothing but partying and having fun. Even without the childhood memories and the nostalgia (which to a lot of people are very important when it comes to the 2010s) it's simply fun music you put on to turn your mind off and feel good. No thoughts, just *HEY I JUST MET YOU*

    LISTEN TO CHAPPELL ROAN!!! I can’t recommend her music enough if you want that super fun happy pop music that sounds similar to the 2010s stuff that was so great, but also modern enough that it doesn’t feel like she’s copying old music. I really think she might be the next big thing in this genre.

    I remember when scaled and icy came out. So many people were hating on it. I could see where some of them were coming from especially cuz saturday was probably the most bland pop out of their songs. their newest song “backslide” literally has a line in it ”I wish I never did Saturday” which is either lore related or irl (or a mix of both) which is a crazy line either way

    Modern pop music sounds so boring to me. For the past 12 years, I've been sticking to so-called retrowave which is new music in 80s style, and I've discovered many catchy songs that I had on repeat for weeks.

    Maroon 5's first album is the only album that i listen to every song on, their second album also is a bop, they had a very unique sound in both of those albums, then kinda went more mainstream, still some good songs, but those first two albums are the reason maroon 5 is my #1 artist

    What you feel about 2010s, I fell about early 2000s Pop with 2008 being the teisting point of when the decline of pop music became evident. I think it is subjective for the most, even if with the 2008 crisis and some other coincidence (like the decline of iTuned and leter the rise of music streaming) something really changed in the concept of pop itself

    I just listened to Somebody I Used to Know and I came to realize that we might never get something like that again. We're not going to get a Nirvana or a Lorde. Everything is so optimized for an algorithm that the era of some artist coming in and destroying our previous understanding of what pop could be is over.

    Every once in a while, a pop banger like Blinding Lights will come out but for the most part, the only good modern pop music would be indie or alternative pop that usually isn't played on mainstream radio stations.

  • @kimyona9746
    @kimyona9746 Před 2 měsíci

    Pop is okay. It's still better than modern country. (RIP country man, 90s country is good). Though at least we are in the golden age of edm and other electronic genres. Genres like Artcore, Breakcore, Bass House, Future Bounce, Melodic Brostep (especially 2020-2021 for this genre), and some other much more enjoyable genres than the previous era of early brostep, bigroom, and glitch hop. Though RIP DnB man, it's gotten so commercialized as of recent.

    In a few years, all pop/rap/rnb songs will just consist of a loud bass kick, finger snap snare, and auto tuned variations of “yea, girl, smellin, king, club, ayy kay, ‘gatti/‘rari, yoOoooOouUu , and rolling R’s” with a one and a half minute run time.

    I really hate where modern pop is going, as it is trending towards a more cookie-cutter sound in general, but pop as a genre I think is a really good genre. And don't get me wrong, some recent pop songs have been bangers, it's just the general trend that's worrying.
