Singers are artists as well. They have a responsibility to create something og artistic value, instead of bragging about their lifestyle, women etc. At least...that's how I feel. You contribute something musically, but in your own way.
Pop is same-y, generic and un-inspired.
I'd rather not, listen to kesha sing about, how cool she think she is, to a beat with no originality, when i can enjoy something with a little more depth, and without a chorus that sounds like a badly faked orgasm.
(Omg... my post reeks of pretentiousness)

Yes, and the 65 odd songs which all use the chord progression I/V/vi/IV
Seriously, there's like four different medleys based around this chord progression and all the songs which are based around int, from about 4 decades of music.
And of course 12 bar blues, do-wop, quite a lot of 80s rock.
What exactly consitutes 'Pop'? The term means Popular Music. So in the 60s Psychcadelic Rock was 'Pop' music, in the 70s Heavy Rock was 'Pop' music, in the 80s synthesised Adult Oriented Rock was 'Pop'.
Yes, lots of songs today sound similar, but songs from every decade have sounded similar.
And I'm not even gonna get started on Punk, which is practically identical whoever you're listening to.

Seconded, and also because the majority of people either auto-tune themselves so even their mother doesn't regonize them, or it's rapper bragging about how rich they are. Though some is all right, most of it is awful, but there can be a few song that rise above.Soylent Bacon said:

I usually have low expectations when walking into a thread about how "this is why I don't like X" Because it usually involves one example of at best two points. This one didn't disappoint. At least it later gets fluffed out, it seems, but OMG TWO SONGS IN THE SAME KEY WITH THE SAME PROGRESSION? WELL THAT JUST TEARS IT!Gaz6231 said:
The best reason I can name with your two acts is that they have all the redeeming qualities of herpes. But I could dig around for 30 seconds and find examples of that for Rock, Rap, Metal, Folk, Country, etc.
But while we're on the subject of progressions....
Skip to about 2:15 if you want to see the relevant part.
I bet anyone who's ever played an instrument or paid attention to their genre can come up with something similar, though,.
Vomiting is actually very pleasant. It's the nausea before the vomiting that totally blows. You just keep holding it in and holding it in and when you inevitably hurl, it's like: "mmmmm..hot damn I should have done that 20 minutes ago."Soylent Bacon said:
I give myself a +1 for relevancy.
I have heard it before and i thought it was hilarious.
It is common for songs to sound the same. There have been mutiple cases that have tried to sue certain music artists. It will happen and pop songs are all about making the listener have a up beat sort of a feel good appeal.
Some pop songs are very well done and makes me want to listen to them but it is like anything you need to go through the bad to see the good. or in this case hear the good.

Anyway back to lisening to muse
I'll listen to Ke Dollar Sign Ha's "Tik ToK" and "Take It Off" for one reason and one reason only: They're as catchy as hell.
However, "Blah Blah Blah" is the worst thing ever put on radio. So I suppose it balances.

And this is why my modern pop listening is limited almost exclusively to Lady Gaga. At least her songs have some inventiveness, and a marked difference between them.
Also, I respect the way she has made a career out of trolling the press and the music industry. No-one ever sees the "real" Lady Gaga, but everyone thinks that they do. That lady is no idiot, years on the songwriting circuit teach you a few things.

He changes chord sequence coming out of basket case. All songs he sings after that aren't Pachebel's canon. Some of the ones before he cheats on too, not using the whole sequenceZachary Amaranth said:
The only song that really farts my head in is this nut it's only because i hear it it at every turn...I dare ANYONE to listen to all of this 
But because i have a lot of friends that like this music, i just get used to it and start liking it myself.
This is the only one i still hate because...well...Listen to it, you'll see why. it gets stuck in your head though so be warned.
If i like it, i will listen to it, if i hear it on a night out, i'll dance (Hell even to the song above). Music shouldn't really bother you that bad. Even if it is the same stuff over and over.

I hate the soullessness of Pop, think of all the heavy metal and classical songs at least they have a soul. Pops just repetitive bullshit being churned out by the music industry.
