Wetenschappelijk onderzoek wijst uit: vroegâh was alles beter, qua myth confirmed, populaire muziek en gebrek aan originaliteit. Gratis samengevat van de /.s:
1. Pop music has become slower in tempo in recent years and also "sadder" and less "fun" to listen to.
2. Pop music has become melodically less complex, using fewer chord changes, and pop recordings are mastered to sound consistently louder (and therefore less dynamic) at a rate of around one decibel every eight years.
3. There has been a significant increase in the use of the first-person word "I" in pop song lyrics, and a decline in words that emphasize society or community. Lyrics also contain more words that can be associated with anger or anti-social sentiments.
4. 42% of people polled on which decade has produced the worst pop music since the 1970s voted for the 2010s. These people were not from a particular aging demographic at all — all age groups polled, including in the age of 18-29, appear to feel unanimously that the 2010s are when pop music became worst. This may explain a rising trend of young millennials, for example, digging around for now 15-30 year-old music on YouTube frequently. It's not just the older people who listen to the 1980s and 1990s on YouTube and other streaming services it seems — much younger people do it too.
5. A researcher put 15,000 Billboard Hot 100 song lyrics through the well-known Lev-Zimpel-Voigt-Kampf (LZV1, Dave snapt dat vast wel—ik niet) data compression algorithm, which is good at finding repetitions in data. He found that songs have steadily become more repetitive over the years, and that song lyrics from today compress 22% better on average than less repetitive song lyrics from the 1960s. The most repetitive year in song lyrics was 2014 in this study.
Iedereen heeft het te druk met Bitcoin-mijnen, zeg ik je.

Maar wat is 'pop'-muzak dan? Is dat de muzak die ons wordt toegeschoven vanuit diezelfde mediabedrijven die ons internet kapotmaakt? In dat geval heb ik geen empathie. Ik kies graag mijn eigen populaire muziek, dank u. En op die noot heb ik het gevoel dat ik recentelijk ben verlost van het tenenkrommende gejodel van de krampberries. Laat het duidelijk zijn, pop-muziek is niet populair, het word je door de strot getrapt door enkele media-despoten. Bij "populaire muziek" denk ik aan muziek, niet aan de herrie van muziekhitlers die ten koste van alles rijk willen blijven. Echt, dat ze die onderzoekers eens een bomgordel geven voor het vervolgonderzoek.
