How did pop go from melodic synth + violin + blown instruments,

Pop is not a genre it's just what's popular.

No shit Einstein.

>>73531977
Yeah so why even ask the question? Wub wub is more popular than melodic synths with violins.

>>73531990
Because it used to be that pop music was catchy, melodic, creative, with many instruments, and now it's generic beat shit.

Hell Michael Jackson was drowning in money since day 1 and he still made catchy orchestral shit with blending classic and new instruments. Can't be greens fucking shit up.
Lets' not even talk the 50's and 60's.
Something's amiss.

It's mostly just deep house with some shitty vocals slapped on it.

Lyrics was always stupid whether past, present, or future.
But music was much much better. I'd say pinnacle of creativity was 70's, 80's, 50's and 60's and 40's were good, 90's were good, 2000's and onward start a steep decline in the instrumental area.

mj didn't produce his shit m8

>>73532368
MJ's relatives did, and the composers.
Doesn't change the point that composers used to be better, and nowadays composers are mostly shit.
