I just want to know, when did something being catchy become a bad thing?
I dont listen to this new pop, I fucking hate the mechanical souless feel it has. But I love me some 40s, 50s, and 60s pop! That's the golden shit. 70s 80s and 90s stuff I dig on has pop elements for sure, but wouldnt be considered 'pop'.... Anyone who is over 20 and still calls ppl punks, hipsters, etc. or classifies is a fuck in my opinion. That's an immature way at appreciating music. I don't know what the fuck I am. The first music I remember hearing and digging was phantom of the opera, then it was michael jackson, then aerosmith, then got into Nirvana in 4th grade. From there on it was rock n roll and punk rock, stooges, germs, and then metal...korn, deftones, slipknot, shit like that...by highschool I was listening to nirvana again, some weezer, then got into psychedelics, 50s 60s pop, beatles, beach boys, everly brothers etc. and went from THAT to Sonic Youth and Noise... All of it I found myself, no parental influence, some of the metal shit was friends influence for sure.... but I aint no commie hipster son of a bitch pop music is cool when done right rant rant rant rant rant rant rant rant rant |

"being catchy" is too vague and subjective
But if you really want to shout past people with what you know is catchy, go ahead. It will only sound like someone with protanopia shouting about how he or she knows that the color red is green. |

it's not like every pop act sounds the same, and pop productions (of a certain level) are among the most amazing/interesting songs you can hear nowadays (not just "on the radio"). Like when sygossip said Single Ladies is just a bunch of handclapping and drums, clearly he never cared to listen properly coz there's much more than that in the base. If you guys listen to pop stuff on a tv with mono speakers and no eq there's a good chance things will sound crappier, but that would be true even with the most amazing band(in your book)'s songs. If you say "I don't want to take the time to listen to this stuff properly coz I care for other stuff and I don't have time for this" it's perfectly understandable, but deeming "modern" pop as "souless" or crappy sounding or poorly produced is just a prejudice.

Um, I liked Lilly Allen and Amy Winehouse's records as far as new pop goes. That's about it though. It's not immature, there is no mature way of listening to music. Just fucking listen to it. I listen to as much different stuff as I can, and when I get into something, try to get into something because it was reccomended, I try to listen to everything I can by the artist.
But I can't be bothered to try every obscure new pop artist when there's so much better stuff in my opinion. |

Lady Gaga is great at selling herself y'know image-wise. She really knows how to make herself stand out and that's something I can respect. Her music on the other hand is so incredibly annoying (well except for paparazzi, which was an okay song... just okay).
