perunamuusi Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 Didn't really notice it in UK. Pop music has always sounded like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcbpete Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 Isn't it just a renamed version of trance music anyway - The stuff that gets played in Tomorrowland etc. never really sounded any different to what Paul Van Dyk, System F. and Energy 52 were doing in the 90s (but with slightly different synth presets) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FLA FUR BIS FLE Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 I never thought I would say this, but I would take the Mortal Kombat/Mortal Kombat 2/Spawn Era soundtrack of Electronic Music in the US any day over this shit. edit* I remember hearing this one and thinking "it doesn't even sound in time". Sure enough, years later, it is even worse than I once thought. I would still take it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

azatoth Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 Good news. Ran that shit into the ground. It was just pop music in the end and they have fads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TubularCorporation Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 I really don't pay any attention to that kind of music so, pitchfork notwithstanding, I liked reading that, it was a good overview of some of the most embarrassing things to come out of it in the past few years that I hadn't heard about. AVicii going country and that horrible Zac Ephron movie are my favorites I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soloman Tump Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 Something else will happen soon. Dubstep for all its sins did at least tread new musical ground for a while. Entry level dance music will always exist in some form, and 10% of the punters and artists involved go on to enjoy and Crete better music. That's just how it is.

zkom Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 Something else will happen soon. I'm willing to bet it's somehow related to waporwave, synthwave or 80s nostalgia taken to some stadium level monstrosity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's already kind of happening, I've been hearing stuff coming out of the radios in shops lately that's basically vaporwave textures with top 40 pop style vocals/beats all summer.
