Arrow Pop Music All Sounds the Same Nowadays
Pop Music All Sounds the Same Nowadays - Yahoo! News


Your parents are officially correct. Nowadays, pop music all sounds pretty much the same.

Researchers in Spain came to the conclusion after tracking the timbre, pitch and volume of nearly a half-million songs released between 1955 and 2010. They found that in this music dataset — which spanned rock, pop, hip-hop, metal and electronic genres — the transitions between chords (a string of notes played at the same time), note combinations, tone and instrument choices all became less and less diverse over time. Meanwhile, the songs grew intrinsically louder.

No doubt there is a formula for success.

Lady Gaga is one good example with her rythmic repetitive chorus refrains.

This is what you get when the "bands" can't actually play instruments. It's just some computer-aided bimbo/mimbo and a drum beat.

It's a simple formula, really.

3.5 minute song.

3 cords.

Tell a story.

No Doubt has a new one out.

Yes, Megadeth and The Bangles sounded about the same in the mid 80's. I can totally see the same patterns in both songs here.
