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?
For more context, are you asking why pop music sounds so formulaic?
I guess kinda. I think since I had to take poetry and counted syllables (which was easy) seem like music is nothing but a math equation. And since I realized it I can’t get that out of my head. Because I can weird al any song almost in an instant. But farther back I go the less blatant it is.
