How many of them do you think wake up one day and realize that everything they've ever done is pure shit that has been manufactured for a target audience by their record label in order to produce maximum profits for their parent company? In other words, what percentage of them did something similar to that guitarist from Limp Bizkit left the band after hearing Radiohead? |

I'm gonna take a stab here and guess 1%. Mainly because its hard to turn down free drugs, daily blowjobs and millions of dollars. |

Very few, I think. especially on their way to the bank, driving an 20inch rimmed Escalade with Cristal in the fridge and a couple of ladeez in the back. |

what is that guitarist story about? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i think most of them: a) don't care b) actually enjoy the music they make c) convince themselves that what they're doing is an important contribution to the art world |
||||||||
|
|

I think you are dead right with choice 'c' |

And let's not forget that they help sustain a muical culture for others to react upon. We need the shit to make purdy flowers. |

i mean, i have more respect for the ones who actually admit to what they're doing and call it what it is - entertainment. at least they're not kidding themselves - they know they're only doing it to be rich and famous. the ones who say, you know i'm doing this music for money and i might as well be making a tv show or video games, but this is the industry i'm getting my cocaine from at the moment and i admit it. i can appreciate someone who admits that that's their career choice rather than the assholes in these commercial bands who operate within the system that insist that their music is an important statement against the system. |

I dont know what i am posting about to be quite frank. |

fair 'nuff. I saw this girl on TV the other day (someone from American Idol?) anyways... she was talking about how she wanted to learn to play an instrument because all she could do was sing and I almost put my foot through her slightly famous face. They then showed her sitting between two skinny dorks in some studio and they were pointing out how to use the goddamn volume sliders on the mixer like it was supposed to make her feel all technical or some shit. I felt like helping her out by showing her the procedure in greater detail by slamming her torso into the EQ nobs, taking a dump in the back of her panties, then administering an atomic wedgie. |
||||||||

Sorry that was harsh. In all fairness, she could sing well, its a shame all she could do was generic uninspiring R&B that any black chick could do, really. I hate todays culture. oh you can sing R&B just like millions of others? Heres a fat check and some skinny white guys to produce your boring tripe |
||||||||
|

i guess the question then is, why do you care? i don't care - i just don't watch those shows and i don't listen to their radio. that way it bothers me very little in my daily life. there's nothing you can do - all the complaining and contempt in the world won't change it. it's just always going to be there, so let it go. |

To be honest I think the production on most crappy pop songs is a million times more enjoyable than the artist's contribution |
||||||||

some pop is good. i challenge anyone to say massive attack or bjork or orbital isn't 1.pop and 2.fucking great |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'm assuming you're "taking the piss" as the kids say these days, but i don't care. yeah i guess those acts are pop, and yeah they are great. at least somewhat great. great. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
since it seemed like everyone was talking "commercial" music, that's what my posts were about. i have nothing against pop music. i listen to some pop. i just don't listen to overtly-commercial music. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
not somewhat great. just great. orbital got me into doing what i do today, and so influenced the next whole generation of cutting-edge music. but they are basically pop. there's nothing wrong with pop, it doesn't all have to be natalie fucking umbrella |

Mirwais is a great pop producer |

You are correct sir. I'm just angry because i stumbled upon it while flipping channels. I dont know why I was even watching TV, i think it was my gf's idea. I usually live in a bubble otherwise. |

I have tried my hand at doing "pop" songs with friends who are singers, and I must say I found it more difficult to create a sharp, catchy, well-produced pop song thant my own normal stuff. It's not difficult in a creative sense, but more because it is very strict and limited, and you can't just do what the fuck you want like you can in an experimental track of your own but you have to consider others, no matter how crap their speakers are or how stupid their musical brains are. However much I dislike pop, I do think it takes a lot of tecnical skill to be able to make a track sound as slamming and slick as "Toxic" by Britney or whatever. |

britney at least has a nice booty |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
(ps-I know Britney is a dolly who had absolutely nothing to do with the track except to sing pathetically on it, only for a producer to add a million enhancements to her voice for it to sound reasonable) |
||||||||
|
|

|

I wish I could write a catchy pop song. Me sell out, oh yes..... |
||||||||
|
|

|

yeah, whatver, but that booty... |

You sound like such a tit, and even though you're 11, it doesn't excuse you. |

Really? I think pop songs are way easy to make. |

That would be a good idea. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
Not really, this is pretty bad and I doubt someone would want to play it on the Radio. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I might believe you except for the fact that I won a talent show contest with that song against other people who actually sung real pop songs that appeared on the radio. The track was even picked out by Top40 losers who said I should rap over it because it was 'tight'. Thanks for your input though. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Ahaha, awesome. You should try to add some vocals, though, you'll never top the charts with that version. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Exactly, thats why its labeled (instrumental). I dont sing, but I'm known to rap (very badly). But i made some shit rhymes up with a co-worker for the show like the night before and we managed to smoke everyone like a joint at a reggae concert. I won a gift certificate and a pineapple :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
With that clip you've confused the term "pop" with "boring, repetitious and unengaging". Any reference to "tight" must have been aimed at your arse. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ahahahahahahahaaaaaaaaa |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Well i got news for you: Commercial pop is boring repetitious and unengaging. Someone call a newspaper. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I don't want to be mean, but even really bad pop is better crafted than that thing you posted. If you're sat there thinking "I'm going to make a pop record" or "I'm going to make a difficult IDM track" then I think you're either in the wrong game, or you're as cravenly cynical as the "pop producers" you decry in this thread. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Man, I can just imagine you tearing up the talent contest with that stormer, Well Done. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

You guys underestimate the intelligence of the common person. They ate it up. I dont know what you guys consider 'pop' over there in your country but this song is better than most shit in the clubs here. Sorry. Sorry you have better music on your radio stations, I guess. You must feel lucky. I know what I'm doing and it was neither "I'm going to make a pop record" or "I'm going to make a difficult IDM track". But thanks for trying. While we're at it, why dont you post a pop track so I can learn from the 'masters'? |
