Bradley 55,147 Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 I'm just glad all the recent artists who played the Superbowl and gross a lot from touring are NOT hip-hop/rap artists. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rino 5,094 Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 2018 so far is quite dead on pop music, yeah (the kind of pop we were used to in late 00s and early 10s). 2017 had a little Taylor Swift in it, but her Reputation burned out quicker than I hoped for. I don't even remember what 2016 had. So yeah, pop is quite dead for now. But the things will turn around hopefully. As for the question of why this cycle repeats itself - "pop" music dominating and then falling into pits - I think it's just listeners being tired of the genre as a whole. People switch to other music for a while and then if any pop singer appears with good enough material and star power (e.g. Britney, Gaga) they become captivated by pop music once again. æă«ăăăŁăŠăăăăăăïŒđ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ItsTommyBitch 12,640 Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 Pop music is by definition contingent upon the time and its reception  That's what makes it Pop - as in popular. If we want to say that somewhat electronic infused dance music with certain chordal structure + overall song structures are going extinct, its a different story  These days, I just call things what they are. It's probably our own bias of growing up with or being very influenced by artists like Gaga and music from this time period that makes us refer to them as "Pop" - they are certainly Pop artists in their intention, but whether or not their music is Pop depends. R&B tinged music, music with a strong "vibe" rather than melody or feel, etc... this is all potentially pop music, so its more accurate to say like "I miss late 2000s dance pop" or whatever. While labels can be cumbersome, I find them effective. Carly Rae Jepsen isn't just "pop" she's bubblegum pop; Florence + the Machine is Baroque pop, indie rock, alternative, etc. ç§èȘèș«ăăăźäžăźäžăèȘ°ăăăăă, ă©ăăȘă«èŻăăăȘäșșçă§ă, ă©ăăȘă«æČæšăȘäșșçă§ă, ăă€ăăŻć€èČă, ç ŽćŁăăăæ¶æ» ăăŠăăŸă. ăăčăŠăăăšăăšăăźäžă«ććšăăȘăäžçŹăźćč»æłăȘăźă ăă Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
