I'm not going to bother addressing anything specific...'cause it's all wrong.
To those who 'hate pop music' - Obviously you're all listening to the
wrong artists. It is possible to be creative and artistic in a popular vein - hell Radiohead are possibly the most creative and innovative
musical ensemble anywhere, period...and they're WILDLY popular.
Sure, a lot of it is cookie-cutter crap, engineered to suck up your allowance - but, seriously. Before you condemn an entire genre, check it out. Don't be discouraged by what you hear on the radio, on tv, in the supermarket, in restaurants, bars, clubs, shops, gyms, gas stations, airports, etc.
That stuff is there for a reason - and not because it's innovative or interesting. Please, think a little more before you say things like that okay, kids?! It makes you sound like an elitist
snob.
Gianluca - pretty much
everything you said, stems from a very narrow-minded and ignorant view of pop music. So please, put down the Britney Spears and High School Musical soundtrack, and go buy some new CDs... you'll be surprised at how many deep emotions, rich structure, intricate counterpoint, melodic and harmonic invention you'll find; and how
seriously talented some composers and musicians really are.
