tomsches 17,388 Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 I wouldn't call "ballad" a genre in terms of instrumentation, but rather y specific type of song like "up-beat", "love song" etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AVeryGagaHolyDick 24,851 Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 Often, but upbeat EDM can be timeless too. The production just has to be be greatly thought Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suspiria 10,683 Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 Arguably yes but I don't think it's a good thing. 'Timeless' just means it's safe, unadventurous and scared to use the new technology/sounds that are available to them at the time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
xoxo Craig 55,649 Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 No. For a song to be timeless, it has to be good and recognisable to many many people. Many can be ballads, but equally many can be pop or dance or reggae or rock n roll. For example, I'll Never Love Again and Shallow are timeless ballads. But even though Music To My Eyes is a ballad, its not timeless. I don't think there's any particular genre that's more timeless than the others.

To me, timeless just means that you listen to the song and, except for the recording quality because the technology can't be helped, you couldn't tell when the song was made, now or decades ago, because it doesn't belong to one specific genre or trend.
