I just want to throw myself about in a ball pool with hapless abandon and do cartwheels cos life is so fun. Titter. I love pop. Nina Simone is rough as arseholes.

'In rock/metal any genre really you can't get away with making shitty music, I mean you technically can but you certainly won't be as popular or as recognized for doing it as you would be if you made shit "pop". You can fart on a track, call it pop, make a vanilla sex video and it will get millions upon millions of views and radio play to the point where it pisses everyone off so they can't stand it and have to hate it.'

wow thx for the copypasta

wow this thread is absolute aids

"I mean pop has become so reliant on image, marketing schemes and money catchiness that less and less artists care if they create something that is actually worthwhile is not catchy.[/s]"

*catchiness



this is why i can't take y'all seriously. this is literally not true, none of those things are able to keep an artist on the pop industry it it ain't catchy.

great job taking that part if the sentence without including the other significant one.
you really proved something man

Oh fucking spare me, you think anyone would give a shit about one direction if they were fucking neckbeards nerds losers and shit ? No matter how catchy they would have NEVER gained the same success they have right now.

'this is why i can't take y'all seriously. this is literally not true, none of those things are able to keep an artist on the pop industry it it ain't catchy.'

yet cold water somehow is at no. 2 on the charts.

'I mean pop has become so reliant on image, marketing schemes and money that less and less artists care if they create something that is actually worthwhile.'

why does that matter? what difference does the image and marketing have to do with the actual music? believe it or not most musicians - pop or not - care about their music and their fans. and this happens in pretty much every genre - image and marketing result in certain artists becoming super popular

'cold water'

chill is the new catchy

track is not the worst but it's fairly boring

(see? a pop artist that's popular and not certainly zayn. david guetta is arguably ugly too. pop chicks are usually good looking but most pop fans are straight woman so ??????????)

"5 Seconds of Summer became the first band (not vocal group) to have their first two full-length albums debut at number one in the US"

And that was last year, pretty dead huh ?

Not to mention they were froma completely different part of the world and never got the same exposure as 1D had. All of America knew about them even before they were a band.

why is this thread so terrible? I thought the convo was fairly interesting

LOL. this is why i can't take y'all seriously. u speak of a genre u know nothing about bruh



"why is this thread so terrible? I thought the convo was fairly interesting"

it's futures, don't expect anything coherent from him

'david guetta is arguably ugly too.'

but when people think of david guetta, they dont think of the old, sweaty and washed up 40-something making beep boops. they think of the vocalists he features, who are all very pretty.

also i cannot believe you bought up that point and didnt even mention sia. how the heck?

All music relies on image. Sorry to keep bringing up Nirvana but it's a good example. Kids/teens at the time latched on to the rebellious nature of the music with the flannel shirts/ripped jeans/general angst etc. Just because you don't like the image pop artists create for themselves doesn't mean you can't acknowledge that all music is based on image.

@Asdfp
Sure man, try to convince yourself that the only reason some of these artists are famous is because of their catchy songs, whatever.
