Today’s music represents the anti-structural and dumbed-down nature of modern communication. Songs have unimaginative, repetitive melodies (if any melody at all), little or no harmony, no narrative, and repetitive lyrics. There is little structure, but a linear percussive beat with sparse instrumentation. Many of the singers adopt the exact same style, with little personal stamp, and the effect is that of a sexual plaything with a delivery of faux innocence and vulnerability.
Totally agree. I don’t like to sound like an old fogey but most of the music I hear on the radio today is basically just some kind of “throb” with a female belting out nonsense. I turn that stuff off.
