>Tfw we've been in the 21st century for 17 years and Kanye is still the only Hip Hop artist with actual value
Let's see how Kendrick is holding up.
Yeah I give him kudos for trying but I don't think this genre is ever getting any better
Same thing with pop. I don't think anyone will ever "save pop" when the premise of the genre is designed for mass appeal

Carly though...

They're pretty fit for living in a shit place.
>>73521909
Won't do shit.
There may be a blip on the radar where people follow in their footsteps and the genre gets a bit less saturated with lazy crap and then it's right back to the same formulaic hogwash that makes people lots of money.
>>73521989
Sadly, you're right.
>>73521919
that's a jail

hahaha black peapel hahah :-)

There's tons of amazing pop out there though.
Just because mainstream pop isn't good doesn't mean all of it's not good.

It's highly disproportionate towards the garbage compared to any other genre.
Also, if you mean "Anything slightly fun to listen to" when you say pop then shut your yap. Pop means "popular", as in designed for mass appeal.
>>73525212
>Pop means "popular"
It's evolved past that, I don't know why people on this board always use this argument, it's evident that there's a specific pop sound.
Marina & The Diamonds isn't too popular, but she's still a pop artist, same with Grimes.
>>73525258
We can argue about various people's definitions but the essence of pop is being designed to appeal to as many people as possible
Marina isn't that popular but her music is designed to be. Grimes I don't know about because it's explicitly designed to be weird and off the cuff but there's a huge market for the alternative tumblr girl

Kanye West is a foolish ocelot who played us all like a damn fiddle.
I hate him.
>>73521909
This.
Carly Rae Jepsen is destined to help save pop music in Taylor Swift's absence.

I should take this somewhere and get it examined by extreme autists to find out of there's some shady shit going on

Clarence clarity is technically (experimental) pop music but he's not that big at all would u just put him in a different genre?
>>73525826
Dude no it's not pop
Clarence Clarity is so obtuse and off the cuff you barely know what you're listening to. Under no circumstances will Alive in the Septic receive mainstream radio play
It's not pop because it's vaguely fun to listen to in some regard
>>73525898
>It's not pop because it's vaguely fun to listen to in some regard
Nobody is saying that. And you act like subgenres like art pop, dream pop, baroque, bubblegum pop, pop punk, power pop, jangle pop all don't exist.
Pop is both more than "fun" music and popular music at this point.
>>73525898
That's literally just circular logic what else would u call him besides experimental pop
too bad this thread is shit because I'm actually interested in discussing this.
