making art for the sole purpose of capitalizing off it is so depressing

this is why Olivia Rodrigo’s new album was such a breath of fresh air to me

so many songs now sound like they would be so interesting because of a tiktok sound, then you hear the full song and it's hot garbage

Another trend is songs with three identical choruses. There’s no reason to escalate or change the chorus throughout a song if only a small part of the song is being played on TikTok’s.

I'm SO sick of most music now clearly being specifically created to blow up on tiktok or something like reals or shorts like I'm so sick every song now feeling like they only put effort into 10 to 30 second clip instead of the entire song.

This is why I like listening to independent artists. Mainstream pop has always been this way

Sometimes i hear these TikTok songs in full at the club and they suck lol. They sound like artificially lengthened clips

as musicians we had a moment where we were like “should we be tiktokifying our music?” we decided to not let ourselves think about it and make music true to our souls instead. it might make the promo more difficult but it means we make music that feels real to us and our fans

Also I feel like I’ve seen more songs where the first 30 seconds of the song are super catchy and high energy, and then the rest of the song is just…eh?

It feels similar to the late aughts/early 2010s when dubstep became popular and suddenly all pop songs had a buildup and drop for the purpose of later remixing into dubstep versions.

Music in the 2000’s/2010’s had amazing verses, prechorus, chorus that were all memorable… and I miss a final explosive chorus 😔
