What corporate music type do you hate the most? For me it's those generic electronic rock(?) things that play in truck commercials and E3 events, with the minor pentatonic riffs and loud digital percussions that all sound the same. I think it's even more insufferable than the yooka laylee songs, because they're so loud, and they think they're so badass

Every radio station playing contemporary music here has the most bland mix of american pop/edm and native pseudo-rap.
The songs I hate the most are often by Pink. She sings nonsensical lyrics as repetitive as the music, often in a vaguely accusatory tone. Then people say she is a "music activist", because she insulted Bush once for being rich and doing drugs (we literally had to listen to this in school as an example of "music activism").

What do you think of christian rock bands like Creed?

>often in a vaguely accusatory tone.
Oh god I hate this kind of music. I call it butthurt music. It's like most of the songs on the radio today.

Why can't people just make pretty songs about how sad they are instead of all this butthurt shit?

Pretty much every trap song I hear on the radio. Don't want to hear some uygha crying in autotune about his dead homies and his hard life. Don't want some uygha crying about "I'M GOOONA KEEL YOU." Only rap shit I've heard that's been listenable in years is the diva rappers like Saweetie, Cardi B, etc. because at least it's fun.

I didn't even like No Scrubs back in the day because it's just a bunch of negative complaining. Still it's like Mozart compared to eyelash.

Really not my thing, but I don't really find it that bad personally, because it looks like effort was put into it, I guess. I hate being the enlightened centrist, but I can see why ppl would hate and why ppl would love this. It's not irredemable like nickelback or imagine dragons

Male singers have their own type of butthurt. Somehow it manages to sound even more obnoxious.

 No.7622

>>7621
These two singers obviously sound very distinct, yet their songs emotional content irritatingly clashes with its delivery. I think this is a problem caused by the stylistic ossification of contemporary pop music:
A pop song cannot engage fully with negative emotions, but must retain a certain aloofness.
Complementary to the emotional register of pop, the musical register does not allow for an interesting enough tension/release dynamic, to make the listener emotionally invested.
To mask the emotional shallowness of the music, some singers go for an overly dramatic delivery with pregnant pauses and irregular vocal rhythm in general.

The restriction in tone has already been present for many decades. Still I think this particular dissonance started when buttrock bands merged traces of an abrasive sound pioneered by the likes of Flipper with vaguely depressive love songs. The result both sonically and lyrically remained within what radio stations deemed acceptable:
>Around 2001, Chad Kroeger started "studying every piece, everything sonically, everything lyrically, everything musically, chord structure. I would dissect every single song that I would hear on the radio or every song that had ever done well on a chart and I would say, 'Why did this do well?'" Kroeger said that Nickelback's single "How You Remind Me" sold so well because it was about romantic relationships, a universal subject, and contained memorable hooks.

Creed is literally christian Nickelback though.

Male butt-hurtedness is even worse because it's far more self-centered than female calls for more attention and respect.

<Female pop singer
"I wish my man loved me better. I guess I'll find a better man"
<Kurt Cobain and Cobain-wannabes
"I am too good/authentic/special for this world, please pay me loads of attention and hear me moan about wanting to kill myself."

I don't know the exact genre name, but that boring whispery pop that Billie Eilish and a few others do. It's like it's trying to be vocal jazz without any of the interesting instrumentals that accompany it.

Cobain at least was conscious of his role in the Spectacle and ended up killing himself for it. the rest suck
