It's good party music. It isn't meant to be analyzed for it's artistic or musical mertit.

It's not trying to be art, it's design.

Design has an intention, it was made with a purpose in mind. This song clearly achieved it's intended purpose, and therefore is good design.

None of you could probably achieve a track that garners more than 500 views on youtube.

>>73555994

>>73555994
>None of you could probably achieve a track that garners more than 500 views on youtube.

I could upload a 3 minute song and watch it 500 times a day myself faggot.

can someone please coherently explain to me why this song suddenly has 2 billion views?

i literally didn't know it existed before i saw it mentioned a couple of days ago and went to youtube to hear it. what made it so famous? it's really bland, it doesn't really have anything special that would give it so much attention

>>73555994
I know you probably won't believe me but if this is my "design" and what I'll be popular for, I really don't want to be famous.

There a lot of spics in the world and it's a catchy song.

>>73553701
It will actually be first.

Every song except PSY was America + the world. PSY was Korea + The world

Despacito is Latinamerica + Spain (a shit ton of people), and now America + the world

hi, puertorican here
never would I have ever thought that a puertorican song from a puertorican music genre that almost no one outside the island knows about would reach this level of popularity.
I'm proud yet disappointed because... well. the song that got popular was despacito
and yes I know that gasolina was also a very famous song when it came out but that song was a fluke

>>73556193
It's not catchy though

>>73556271

there's lots of spanish songs that are catchy. but what made this song get 2 billion views so fast?

>>73556223
You live in a bubble. That genre exists all over latin america, i've been exposed to it since I was literally too young to walk and I've only ever met one puerto rican in my whole entire life.

>>73556170
because it has spanish words in it thus making it "exotic". Normalfags love that shit, that's why it's such a common gimmick.

>>73556359
The Justin Bieber verse. He exposed to genre in a very accessible way to a huge demographic that otherwise has never heard the genre, or if they have they had no way to relate or to understand what it was about.

Now stop asking, it's not that big of a mystery.

Despacito is The Beatles of country music

>>73556363
yes, I know.
but the reggaeton came from puertorico back in the 90s and it didn't start to get recognition outside of our island until the early to mid 2000s.
and even then it only got popular on spanish speaking countries.
this song however isn't just popular in latin countries, its popular globally!

But its popularity is only in part a consequence of its quality, and mostly a consequence of the business aspect of it (marketing, promotion, endorsement, etc.), which is why a ton of utter shit songs get really popular and much better (but similar in style) ones remain unknown.

Also the attention that having a popular name on your song gets you (If Justin Bieber made a cover of Wilder by Gnesa it would still get 9 digit views), but that's arguably part of business as well, since an artist's fame and popularity is almost every time the result of a deliberate effort of the label to make them famous.

Despacito is the Peste Noire of psychedelic rock......

>>73556394
this is peak gringo, thinking that speaking another language is a gimmick lol

despacito blew up for gringos because there was a bieber version, though everyone quickly realized the bieber version was way worse. I do agree that it's not terribly different or more catchy than most latin pop so it's a bit weird that it blew up more than others.

>>73556477
Exactly, it is successful by design. My entire fucking point. Thank you for agreeing with me.

It was designed to reach as wide of an audience as possible, the music was only a fraction of the blueprint for that.

It's still a well produced and expertly engineered track, most people who say it's bad don't know anything about making music. They just dislike it because it's not what they listen to and because it's popular.

As I said before, it isn't art and it isn't trying to be art. It's design, and it's a massively successful design project.

Tfw haven't heard it and didn't know who the original artist was until I saw this thread
Am I missing out?

>>73556573
It's just Bailando 2.0.

>>73556573
Not really. You're probably just a friendless shut in.

Bieber threw some verses over a generic reggaeton song and white people love appropriating cultures, they found a new victim and are currently gobbling it up.

>>73556395
ah yeah, of course. however, a justin bieber feature is just part of the explanation, 2 billion in half a year is really astounding, stop trying to downplay it

>>73556534
yeah exactly, a bieber feature is not enough to explain it's huge success. but i think the anons going on about marketing are right

>>73556564
reminds me a bit of 'call me maybe' for just being a flawlessly executed pop song. not really my cup of tea, but it's professionally good stuff.

>>73556581
This desu

>>73556564
Yeah I agree.
That's why I actually respect guys like Max Martin and Dr Luke. Even if their music won't really make history, it's not made to.
While Marco Pierre White might be the chef that we read about in books, the guy that designs McDonald's burgers is still a master in making a product that's supposed to be liked by the widest audience possible, which is the purpose of this music.

It's literally business.

But that still doesn't make the song remarkable. Any song of similar quality can become popular with good marketing and "image".

why can't reggaeton go back to its roots?!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-K39On0xFx4
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_6SewsRP8ew

>>73556677
Which is why this type of music isn't for discussing and analyzing. Depth is not in the design blueprint.

But if you throw 100 random people in a room and want to appeal to the most amount of people, this song will do a damn good job. Better than anything /mu/core or scarufficore will. That is it's design, and they did a good job.

Actually making a song with that degree of "catchiness" is much harder to achieve than making an interesting "artistic" piece.
That goes for every earworm like Gangnam Style, Poker Face, or Somebody That I Used To Know (which I still think is a good song).

>>73556677
sometimes i wonder if my tasting buds are very different from other people of the world. i mean i like greasy shit and i love burger king for fast food, but i seriously do not understand why mcdonalds is so popular. it's not even good in that greasy low quality fastfood way, it's just bland af

anyone feel like this?

>>73556677
>Any song of similar quality can become popular with good marketing and "image".
I am reminded of that brazilian pop song 'ai se te pego' that blew up across the world without a fucking proper studio version. One of the least professional worldwide hits I've ever seen.

>>73556748
It's good enough. Everyone likes burgers in burgerland, most people can afford it, it has good packaging, and it GOOD ENOUGH that it will satisfy your taste buds, much like this song.

If the price were any higher, or if the food were slightly higher quality their target audience would go down and thus they would make less money.

>>73556750
Holy shit I remember that. Was literally seeing people doing the dance on the street daily.
The guy even got sued by one of his friends because he allegedly stole it from her lmao.

>>73552923
this isn't even the version with justin bieber. it was already near a billion views without the help of the remix.

>>73556805
but it got really popular with american teens and pop radio in part because bieber's name gave it some recognition. Getting to a billion views isnt that hard for a latin pop song though, plenty of them get near that mark on youtube without any English language radio play in the USA. Shakira's "chantaje" has 1.5 billion in just a few months without any regular top40 play

Argiefag here
-everyone has been talking about how huge that song is for months
-my coworkers love it and mumble it constantly, luckily, speakers are banned in my workplace

still have no idea if I actually heard it since every year a shit song like that blows up and a gazillion producers jump the bandwagon and make slightly similar songs hoping to cash-in normie 50yr old housewives that still buy CDs and shit or get them on TV commercials without paying royalties

really hope Trump nukes us by the time this shit reaches murrica

but burger king actually tastes good at the same price. that's why i don't get it.

mcdonalds is so much worse than similar fastfood.

>>73556961
I also don't get this, fuck, Carl's Jr and Wendy's are actually pretty good and they still choose McDonalds, they don't even taste good.

>>73553701
that's because people listen to this song on youtube, even on the fucking train

>>73557001
Those are for slightly higher paid wage slaves. There's levels to this shit. McDonalds is the lowest of the low and therefore has the widest range of appeal, crackheads and families can both enjoy it and it's within their price range.

>>73556984
yeah, but much better than mcdonalds

>>73556999
burnt? you must have gone to some shitty BKs

>>73557034
that's maybe how it is in the us, but here in scandinavia it's pretty expensive, as expensive as other shit in the same range of quality, and yet it's still extremely popular

Your opinion.
