So 90% of all music is pop?
>>54056358
Since when did Prince allow his music on Youtube?
>>54056248
Your opinion really smells like poo poo.
>>54056573
In general? No.
That /mu/ talks/knows about? Yes.
>>54056573
only if it's 90% of what you listen, there's a lot of music that don' follow this structure. almost all non-radio friendly electronic music, for example (idm, techno, etc)
>>54056548
hi RYM

Raspberry Beret is one of his worst songs and was one of the CIA's most commonly used songs to torture people

It does seem like more old bands are giving up on taking their music off youtube recently

Yeah, I noticed people posting Bob Dylan youtube links in the past month and I was shocked

>>54056523
>Strawberry Switchblade
Ma niggah.
One of the songs they play in Starbucks. I don't know the name of it. It really lifts the room and gets everyone singing/whistling the song. It's pre-2000.
>>54056395
Yes. It's melodically weaker for a start.
>>54056682
why would i leave /mu/ for tumblr? i love shitposting
>>54056682
>>54056635
>>54056769
>It's melodically weaker
Than a chorus with only four different notes arranged in only two two-measure phrases?
"Hey Ya" plebs don't realize that they only like the song because of its memes.

Hey Ya will still be considered a classic in 50 years time in the same way Good Vibrations is now
>>54057177
polaroid pitcher I says
>>54057403
Hey Ya isn't a great song because of some meme only you care about, it's generally considered a modern classic by the vast majority of critics who don't even know the meaning of the word 'meme'
>>54055892
The ladies have really low voices when he says: 'Ok now ladies!' and they answer 'Yeah?'
Purple Rain is better
>>54057482
Uneducated popular music reviewers are not "critics".
>>54056500
>pop song structure - verse, chorus & bridge
Wrong.
>>54056454
All recorded music is pop music. All music that is released in Album/EP/Single format is pop music.
>>54055892
ALRIGHT ALRIGHT ALRIGHT ALRIGHT ALRIGHT ALRIGHT ALRIGHT ALRIGHT
ALRIGHT ALRIGHT ALRIGHT ALRIGHT ALRIGHT ALRIGHT ALRIGHT ALRIGHT
ALRIGHT ALRIGHT ALRIGHT ALRIGHT ALRIGHT ALRIGHT ALRIGHT ALRIGHT
>>54057569
pop != popular
>>54057584
Further proof that Hey Ya is meme rap.
LEND ME SOME SUGAR!
I AM YOUR NEIGHBOR!
>>54057513
wouldnt when doves cry be the quintessential pop song from that album, not the title track?
>>54057613
>meme rap
dadaistic repetition isnt a meme, its experimentation fucktard
>>54057613
>pop != popular
"Pop" is a genre in the same way "folk" is.
ONE TWO THREE UH
>>54057692
Dada was meme art.
>>54057693
There is no such thing as a folk song structure, so no.
>>54057692
burty gr8 b8 m8
>>54057823
No, I'm saying they're not really genres.
Popular music = Pop music
Pop as a genre is just sort of a meta thing.
>>54057869
>Popular music = Pop music
Wrong. Merzbow is popular music but is not pop. Read a Musicology 101 textbook.
>muh memes
Isn't the memespouting testament to it being a great pop song?
>>54056523
:(
>>54057908
LOL, no. Merzbow is definitely pop.
>>54058030
Musicologists often identify the following characteristics as typical of the pop music genre:
an aim of appealing to a general audience, rather than to a particular sub-culture or ideology[7]
an emphasis on craftsmanship rather than formal "artistic" qualities[7]
an emphasis on recording, production, and technology, over live performance[13]
a tendency to reflect existing trends rather than progressive developments[13]
much pop music is intended to encourage dancing, or it uses dance-oriented beats or rhythms[13]
The main medium of pop music is the song, often between two and a half and three and a half minutes in length, generally marked by a consistent and noticeable rhythmic element, a mainstream style and a simple traditional structure.[22] Common variants include the verse-chorus form and the thirty-two-bar form, with a focus on melodies and catchy hooks, and a chorus that contrasts melodically, rhythmically and harmonically with the verse.[23] The beat and the melodies tend to be simple, with limited harmonic accompaniment.[24] The lyrics of modern pop songs typically focus on simple themes – often love and romantic relationships – although there are notable exceptions.[7]
Harmony in pop music is often "that of classical European tonality, only more simple-minded."[25] Clichés include the barbershop harmony (i.e. moving from a secondary dominant harmony to a dominant harmony, and then to the tonic) and blues scale-influenced harmony.[26] There was a lessening of the influence of traditional views of the circle of fifths between the mid-1950s and the late 1970s, including less predominance for the dominant function.[27]
Are you ready to stop being ignorant?
>>54057823
You're a fucking meme.
>>54056358
Kiss from a Rose is the only contender here
>>54058090
It's a meaningless vague term and not a real genre.
>>54058226
Literally every genre ever.

>>54058350
Yeah, you can keep reposting that. Doesn't change the fact that pop music as a genre is just meta-popular music and essentially the same thing.
>>54056358
>Cat Stevens
He was inspired by Simon and Garfunkle and the Beatles from what I remember. A folk musician with a 60's pop sound.
>>54055892
YA HEY
what's cooler than being cool?
>>54058396
>pop music as a genre is just meta-popular music
False. There is popular music which is not pop music. If you don't believe this, post a musicologist who agrees with you.
>>54058457
ICE MEMES

How is it b8? The song actually sucks. The best part of the song is the what's cooler than being cool part. Everything else is garbage.

This isn't related to OP but i love when elitist music snobs use the phrase "it's a solid pop song!" to show how ironically eclectic and open minded they are
But yes hey ya is the GOAT
>>54059370
Somebody's projecting.
>>54055892
The Butthole Surfers - Pepper
>>54056523
Yeah, S.O.S. And Dancing Queen are GOAT.
Like people are saying, Good Vibrations is insane. Billie Jean is insane. There're some Stevie Wonder songs that are up there. Some Prince songs. Windowlicker by Aphex Twin, if you want to stretch your definition of pop. Total Eclipse of the Heart. Hey Ya is very good. Up there with the best of pop music.
