TheResidentZionist 128 Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 i havent seen any thread regarding PC MUSIC so i thought it was time to share with the community the newest "ARTPOP" PC music is a pseudo-label created by A.G Cook but is shrouded in mystery. Stylistically they have taken all the discarded music genres of the past 20 years (happy hardcore, chipmunk voices ect) and have made it into something creative. think of it as the most catchy music you will ever hear. the point of this movement is still being debated. some people this its a satirical attack on consumer culture and pop music. some think they are trying to take over pop music.

ALX 170 Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 really find PC Music to be extremely gratingthat being said, LIZ and Charli XCX have been working with SOPHIE on their new records so hopefully they can make it sound more human and less tuneless Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ItsTommyBitch 12,640 Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Yasss slay SOPHIE B who I want 2 B is a bop Btw, SOPHIE produced QT as well (the singer's real name is like Hayden Dunham I think ) This is very J-pop actually Like it isn't something new sounding to me. There's a clear influence imo especially to Japanese Techno-Pop , both in the high pitched feminine vocals and more. There are several Japanese producers I know of that do things like this; even using sparse english lyrics with techno, chiptune and synth heavy productions is a thing done often in Japanese Techno music. So is what I call "Mood writing" or writing lyrics with a mood or attitude in mind, rather than using them to have any sort of message or real meaning what so ever. Assonance and literary devices are popular there too, so sometimes words that just evoke emotions are used (hence "mood" ) or words that simply sound "pleasant to the ears", hence the often nonsensical or very basic and irrelevant seeming lyrics. 私自身もこの世の中も誰もかれもが, どんなに華やかな人生でも, どんなに悲惨な人生でも, いつかは変貌し, 破壊され、消滅してしまう. すべてがもともとこの世に存在しない一瞬の幻想なのだから Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SOPHIE is my favorite!!!!!!! QT is a collab between AG COOK and SOPHIE and Hayden Dunham technically dosent sing on the track she is just the personification of the Hey QT energy drink its VERY jpop nice connection! i personally think most pop has inane and irrelevant lyrics with obvious exceptions (gaga ect) but with PC music i think its a stylistic choice.

Ohhhh that makes sense I was like "i know shes a performance artist..." so I just assumed the rest. Often times lyrics like these are a stylistic choice, which I actually really love. It just frustrates me when people are so high and mighty on what "good" is in music Lyrics have to be deep, they can't be too obvious or blunt, they have to be from stereotypical positions, have to be original, etc. Why cant they just be fun sometimes? Things dont have to make sense, songs dont have to be out to prove something. I love that J-Pop is such a diverse genre because both kinds of "artistry" have room to shine tbh, where as things like that would be frowned upon in America under the guise of being "basic" or something silly But I digress, Thanks for this thread, even if not many people comment on it 私自身もこの世の中も誰もかれもが, どんなに華やかな人生でも, どんなに悲惨な人生でも, いつかは変貌し, 破壊され、消滅してしまう. すべてがもともとこの世に存在しない一瞬の幻想なのだから Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Music snobbishness is just so boring in my opinion! i think satire can be one of the most effective and smart ways to be both critical as well as appreciative of something! at the end of the day the people of PC music are dissatisfied with Pops current landscape and are changing it! they clearly know there stuff! i agree with you that J-pop embraces change and differences better than American Pop. Not to be a "music snob " or anything but frankly i don't understand the draw of Beyonces music for example....i dont see any depth at all. in contrast one may view PC music as lacking depth but i disagree, the amount of thought and effort is palpable when you listen to it! Dont worry @ItsVenusBitch next year when PC music is the hottest thing and everyone wants a HEy QT energy drink we will have the last laugh :P Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALX 170 Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 agreed but dont you think inherently that pop music these days is tuneless and inhuman? why is this perception of emotional realness in ones music prioritized over something that is bright fun and pleasurable? I wouldn't agree with that statement. The vocals in PC Music songs have been even more dehumanized than in mainstream pop music. I'm not saying I don't like synthetic sounds, obviously because I listen to synth-pop, but the music just sounds soulless. The lyrics are pointless and the beats are jagged and don't convey anything. I appreciate what they're trying to accomplish on the label, but it's just crap imo... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
