Distressing trends in modern pop music
Taekwondoin:
A trend I am not liking right now is this whiny, electro, indie keyboard stuff. Things like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6p6PcFFUm5I and others like Barbarossa, Metronomy, etc.
It's not that they all sound really similar (though I could argue that they do), it's just that it seems very self absorbed and prentious for the sake of pretentiousness.
Just for transparency, I am also pretty damn pretentious about music myself.
TheCollyWolly:
I used to be really into LP back in middle school (wasn't everyone?) and I still like a few songs from Hybrid Theory and MTM. Their lyrics are fairly generic but I feel like they were willing to dick around and have fun with their production, which is my real problem with a lot of the 'pop' stuff (not just today but ever).
M&S is a great example, they found a sound that works for a lot of people but they don't seem to be having a great deal of fun working on the music itself. I don't want to call it laziness or being formulaic, and just because a song is different doesn't give it merit. I'm just saying you can tell when the producer and the band enjoyed themselves and took a risk with some aspect of the music and that's what makes it interesting.

Simple rock is this: piano, guitars, drums. Too much else and you ruin things.
