What happened to the days of where somethings did not rhyme but was plugged with another word? Like Johnny Cash, Journey, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and others. Even if they did it it doesn’t sound so blatent. Did Mozart and Behtoven do it back then?
… you do get all music is math right? Like all of it. Jazz has more in common with calculus than most people realize. What you’re having a problem with is there’s a handful of very common musical formulas that are all that any of the big producers want to use right now, and they just like, ignore 98% of music because those few big formulas tend to be the ones that hit a nerve with the most people. Math is natural. It’s emotional. It’s creative. It’s the tortured formulas in modern studio pop that make it seem unnatural.
Think of it like this. Think about your favourite movie. Now imagine someone took the script, made a word cloud out of it, and took the 10 most common words in the script, then had the same actors just read those 10 words over and over again in different combinations. I don’t know about you but that sounds about as interesting as watching paint peel. “But everyone loves those words” yeah, as part of a bigger more coherent story. That’s the state of the music industry.
