I’d agree with you there. I don’t personally care for much recent music (60s-80s are usually my favorites), but what recent songs I do like tend to be the ones that sound different from the norm.
I get what you mean, but remember that even if music is an art, it is also a form of entertainment. An artist expressing themselves through music is perfectly natural, but that is only one half of it, next other people have to find it enjoyable. If anything, remember that one genre of music is just a small portion of it, the fact that there is such a large amount of genres and subgenres in music shows the diversity within the art as I see it.
Fair enough. “Worse” is a fairly subjective term, and I did perhaps leap a bit too hard towards declaring it as a definite result. Still, I can’t help but feel that for any creative endeavor (such as music is supposed to be), a trend towards homogenization and restricted expression seems like it would be a bad thing. After all, you can probably make a decent picture by tracing another person’s work, but it will never really be more than a copy. I’d much rather see an artist try to find a unique voice of their own, or at least incorporate unique elements into what others have done, than simply focus on doing the same thing everyone else is.
Interesting; so they proved that music is objectively getting more homogeneous. I suppose that doesn’t necessarily mean “worse,” though it’d probably be reasonable to say it’s less interesting as a whole.
I think its best to disregard all EQG logic :p
lets just assume that the mirror changed twilight to replicate the twilight already on that portal’s side, and Twilight’s actually much older than a teen.
And absolutely right!
Coming from someone who doesn’t even like western pop music, I am afraid to say that nothing from that article you have quoted actually says that the music is “worse” in any way. After all, taste is subjective and equating homogenization as being “bad” is just a subjective opinion.
Unless I missed something important, if a lot of songs within a genre are sticking to similar sounds and volume that sounds more like the genre becoming more defined over time. If you value diversity, that’s fine but isn’t the point of genres to group together a bunch of similar things? As I’ve heard one person put it, “complaining about pop music being all the same is like complaining about doctors constantly using the same treatments like penicillin instead of using a wider variety like leeches and blood letting,” or something to that effect. It is hard to understand how it is bad that artists and the like are learning the most widely appealing or effective techniques to accomplish their goal.

QUOTED FOR TRUTH

Well if you’re curious, that conclusion was actually from a study in which a team of researchers conducted a quantitative analysis of songs throughout the years and analyzed the changes that occurred in music over that length of time. You can read about it in the article where they published their findings, “Measuring the Evolution of Contemporary Western Popular Music”, or by searching for doi:10.1038/srep00521.
From the Scientific American article on the study:
I’m curious, how would you go about proving that?
Besides, it’s scientifically verifiable that pop music is slowly getting worse over time, so you’re absolutely right.
This new music ain’t got the same soul
I like that ole time rock ‘n’ roll
