Distressing trends in modern pop music
Patrick:
Let us discuss them. How about we begin with song titles/choruses that involve words like hey, oh, ho, hum, etc.
For example:, "Ho Hey" by The Lumineers. Is this song about a 'ghetto' colloquialism for a prostitute? Not at all. Fuck I don't even know what it is about, honestly, I've never listened to it front to back before. It's a love song, maybe?
Carry on with your own observations, my lovelies.
Redball:
And while I'm probably not likely to listen to it -- although now my curiosity has been nudged -- there is a tradition of using vocal sounds for rhythm, i.e., hey nonny nonny, tra-la-la-la-la-lah, etc.
mtmerrick:
pop seems to have one of three sounds nowadays;
-folk-music-ish stuff that sounds like it should be sung around a campfire
-overprocessed pseudo-techno
-white kids trying to "sound black" (not meaning to be racist but i have no idea how else to say it - its a pretty blatant effort)
needless to say, i don't enjoy almost anything out of any of those categories.
(except Little Talks by Of Monsters And Men. that song is so catchy it's ridiculous)
Patrick:
kick drums and kick tambourines

autotune is dead
