Yes, I agree. The music industry pushes artists to a mold that is currently selling. If people make music for a living, they need to adjust to the current popular culture, which is often very repetitive and even unimaginative sometimes. A lot of the time bands and artists who create their own music and make it how they want are just much more enjoyable than the radio hits. But of course, the radio hits are good music to plenty of people, otherwise it wouldn't be played.
But I have to listen to the radio 8 hours a day at work and I sometimes can't even recognize one song from another, because they are made with the same hit idea. But that being said, we sometimes listen to an 80s radio station and the songs still get as repetitive and boring after a few days, even though that's more of an era where artists made their own music.
No, I don't agree with it. As a Professional composer and Critic myself. Whoever wrote these statements shows a level of ignorance in the field of classical music and Music theory. And a level of pretentiousness.
To me, this is more of a cry for attention on this website.
But nonetheless, nice try though.
Of course those professionals would have a hard time agreeing. Just like how marketers try to hide the flaws of the company. Guess what? I can consider myself a professional marketer and i know how marketing works. So yeah you can say it's "cry for attention" all you want just to silence someone who have opinions. You also did a nice try.
also calling it "crying for attention" while being clueless about what the real intention is. If that's the case, no one would ask questions on this site because it's "cry for attention" You yourself wouldn't share any opinions as well otherwise you're crying for attention. Jumping to conclusion is that easy.
Well its true. I believe their are only five different (roughly) writers who have written most of the current pop songs out their (which is why they all sound the same).
This is the best age to be doing your own thing though thanks to new media youtube and things like that. Its hard to get that audience but once you do you control everything, all the money goes to you, all the music belongs to you etc. So it can be harder to start but once you start getting that momentum things are far better for you being independent then being in a record deal.
People who tend to make really nice music doesn't really make music for a living. They do it for passion and some earnings. They are like quality over quantity.
Sure, but thats the point, if you go independent you can have absolute control over it instead of having a record label own your music and your likeness and they get to say what you can and cannot do.
I do not agree with this, in pop music it has been always known, who are the writers of the songs and also the producers of their records. So the credit is there, where it should be.
The credit may be there in the records but they also sign a contract that the pop star or celebrity is going to copyright the song they produced claiming it is theirs and of course, who would actually see the records kept in their accounting office? No fans would see that one to appreciate the music producers
Also you may be talking about artists in your time that only a few producers are going to be hired and credited for it but in this time, many are working for a single singer
That is not entirely true, while yes, there is a contract signed, the songwriters are not forced to write songs, songwriters are BOUGHT those songs, songwriters do SELL the songs, to record companies and not to the artists, and then, the songs are theirs indeed, just like you buy a car, the car is yours, it doesn't matter who built it, it belongs to you. And the credits are on every record, and every site, and people who know better about the industry are quite aware, pop artists give interviews all the time, they win awards, and all the time you see them thanking a million people, their record company, their producers, and many others, the pop industry is actually an INDUSTRY, and the fans are not there to praise creators exactly, the fans are there to be entertained. Song writers are song sellers too, and while you could argue that they they're undervalued yes, they could be, but also, many of them have it too easy to write a hit pop song in less than 30 minutes, so you're not selling something that's rare, you're selling something that A LOT of people can easily do, that's why the value of hit pop songs is very low in the industy.
