Why does all new pop music sound the same?


Basically because it IS the same - I think anyone with ears already knows that, but there is more to it.

Because it has little or nothing to do with music and everything to do with current "lifestyles " .
That is an excellent 20min synopsis of this Horror Story:
"The Song Machine: Inside the Hit Factory"
I could not finish the book (too disturbing for me) but it finally "flipped" me onto "classical" for 90+% of my listening. I still follow a few "new" acts like Steven Wilson, David Sylvian, Bjork but the only recent 'top 100" album in my collection is "Black Star". Makes me feel old...






As if the music you listened to when you were a teenager didn't sound that way to your grandparents.
