When did you outgrow blind hatred of top 40 radio hits?

when that girl i liked made me listen to taylor swift in high school and i legit thought it was good

But it's the other way around. I outgrowed top 40 radio hits when I was 17.

Around 17, but now my hatred for it isn't blind

you're regressing

Poptimism was a mistake. Sure, there's no need to be a dick about it or get all elitist, and you should be able to separate well written pop from the rest, but the fact of the matter is that top 40 is full of trash-tier garbage with little to no artistic merit that is created (cynically) for the sole purpose of being background noise for the lives of idiots. You'd be dumb to celebrate it.

My hate just turned into a lack of caring. It never went away.

Every top 40 song now has a weird mix of a sample that goes real high and low and used like a synth

Lyrics require at least one use of the word body or relating to work

I don't know.

You sure you're not just a pleb apologist?

>>72515591
Outgrew* fuck

>>72515609
Yeah no

>>72515548
never had blind hatred, just didn't follow any and went along my own path of music taste.

What would you say is well written pop?

>>72515548
when I learned music theory and found out most talentless top 40 songs are still more competent than 90% of rym-core in terms of talent and basic again creative competency

This guy gets it.

>>72515666
Well-written top 40 pop? The only example that comes to mind is Somebody That I Used to Know by Gotye.

>>72515818
Not even top 40, just well written pop in general

There are v cool pop artists
Khalid
Frank ocean
Weeknd

when firework resonated with my soul

and also when taytay

i usually listen to indie or undeground hipster bullshit like most people here... but the new classic is honestly a great album.
top 40 garbage is as comercial as it was in the 60s or 80s, yet we call those artists the greatest.
also i would love to cum on iggy's australian throat.

DROP THIS AND LET THE WHOLE WORLD FEEL IT

Even if you grow out of top 40 it's only a handful that aren't painful to be honest.

Hello /mu/

The thing that bothers me most about /mu/ is that you guys shit on decent mainstream artists the hardest and then ironically listen to complete trash because of your faggot aesthetics or whatever. That's why I don't trust a lot of opinions here. Most of you dudes are all wrapped up in music as a part of your identity instead of just being real.

Reminder that the songs you love from the past 80 years have all been top 40 at some point, maybe even lower.

I actually came to this epiphany a couple days back, Poptamism was the embrace of mediocrity, its cultural capitalism, become like all the other drones, consume the things the record companies manufactured for you to extract your wealth.

And if you were going to use an example of good pop music using a picture of igggy azela was fucking mistake op and i hope you die horribly and slowly

Poptamism is It is promoted by urban yuppies who want to spite lower class white people.

Poptamism is capitalism masked as social progress

I mean what is the end game of poptamism?

Do you want a world were the only music is katy perry and everyone only listens to katy perry?

I mean the fuckers at p4k promoted this garbage ideology and haven't even thought about this shit critically.
What a sterile world the poptamist world is.

Doesnt it feel like something is missing, the guy with the electric guitar, the world feels of balance.

They want you to consume in the name of social progress.
Like i want to put on those they live glasses and see what p4k looks like.
