Whatever happened to making quality music? Thousands of artists spend years perfecting their crafts, attending music schools, working under successful musicians, and spend years playing small gigs in bars; and the vast majority of these people never end up making it big. But now it only takes one person with a computer that can computerize their vocals for their comical lyrics to make millions of dollars and achieve instant fame. I think this is a very upsetting trend that is becoming more and more common in today's world.
What do you think of this new trend in music? Do you think it's here to stay?
I would argue that it's not all that new a trend. It's just pop music that takes advantage of YouTube and social media. The only difference between these guys and Katy Perry is that they became popular quicker because of social media. Also, I think a lot of artists have that breakout single that puts them on the charts. Catchy music sells more than music with more content, that's seems to just be the way it works. At least these guys are comical and have fun with it.
