Yeah...
Pop music is all about making money... it's a BUSINESS, damn it!
But in general... there's some good music out there... it's just that the bad stuff is better organized:):)

Actually, even in pop music, there are decent compositions, in my opinion. And in a way, even the Beatles can be considered pop music of the 60s...
However, it is often said that Mozart was pop music in the 18th century, but that is clearly not the case! Pop music is a specific musical genre that emerged relatively recently. Mozart is classical music.

Mozart wrote music for art, not for money. Therefore, he cannot be considered pop music, and he never will be. The Beatles, on the other hand, are 100% pop! If you translate the lyrics of their songs, you'll find that they all say the same thing: "I want you so much that my pants are about to burst, come to me, baby, let's make love." I always wonder... and people actually listened to this? And yet, they criticize our generation for having bad taste. Even the songs of the band "Korni" have more meaning than the nonsensical drivel that is supposed to be a song, which the Beatles sing.

Absolutely! Just a small correction: "ахиня" is spelled with an "a," not an "o":D...
(But I'm just a bit fixated on spelling because people write so poorly these days!)
Regarding the Beatles, that's definitely true; the meaning of their songs is exactly that. I would only add that they have the advantage of singing in a way that... well, it's just pleasant to listen to, especially if you don't pay too much attention to the words. As for modern pop music (especially Russian!), it's not only sung in a way that you can't always even understand the language, but it's better not to understand it, and it's also unpleasant to listen to. You want to plug your ears and run away as far as possible or make the person who turned

Don't touch The Beatles! Yes, their songs are simple, but take, for example, "Yesterday." It's one of the best love songs of all time!
And in general, from my point of view, any musical style is a way of life. Pop music – consumers, classical music – conservatives, rock – rebels, punk – rebels for the sake of rebellion. And so on.

That’s what I’m saying – even though they sing nonsense that isn’t any better than our pop music, it’s still very pleasant to listen to them. And, actually, I think I might have exaggerated a bit when I said “not better than our pop music”… after all, there haven’t been any gems like “my hands are covered in blood up to my elbows from love” or the beauty that Nowizard posted in the “fun” thread.

Absolutely! But "ahinya" is spelled with an "a," not an "o":D...
(But I'm just a bit obsessed with spelling because people write so poorly!)

And with the letter "e":D

Alex, I completely forgot about that song... Sorry, I was wrong.
By the way, what category would you put rappers in? Just curious.:)
However, of all the categories, I like nonconformists the most (which is what I consider myself to be;)) or music lovers, as some call them, although, in my opinion, a nonconformist and a music lover are somewhat different things.

In general, being a nonconformist and a music lover are, in my opinion, somewhat different things.

And it's not just your opinion:) These are indeed quite different things:) A music lover is simply someone who loves music, while a nonconformist is... it's more complex... it's, for example, our Nowizard:D or me to some extent:D

Although, why am I even going on about a topic that everyone already understands?:confused:
But on the other hand, that'

[/U]By the way, note that "Yesterday" is a song about unhappy love. It's interesting, but songs like that usually turn out to be more beautiful than songs about requited love... it's sad:( it would be better the other way around
Maybe it's just because there are far fewer songs about unrequited love?...

Such songs are performed better because you see the world through the eyes of a pessimist... and they can see a lot of things:) And what is there to sing about in a song about requited love? Everything is fun, everything is good. But a song should have something that touches the soul, and most often, it is sad things that touch the soul...

Well, I wouldn't say that. :) I'm not arguing, sad things do touch our hearts, but remember DURAN DURAN and their music video for "Nobody Knows"! Simple, pure romance, without any vulgarity. And how symbolic – lovers playing with the stars...

Now, I'm not saying that optimistic songs are never good at all! It's just that they become good less often...
As for the eyes of a pessimist—I personally look at the world through the eyes of an optimist, and I seem to see quite a lot :)
And any affectogenic (pardon the term; it's something like emotionally significant) events can touch the soul; therefore, unrequited love as well. But:
1 - as far as I can understand, almost all romances end in separation (let's imagine you had 10 of them; if you are not a Muslim;), then 9 of them will end in separation)
2 - separation is often the strongest and most memorable experience
3 - there are harmful, envious people who do not rejoice in others' happiness but envy it, and who are encouraged by others' misfortune, as it boosts their self-esteem

No, there's still a lot of good music out there, but personally, I prefer Mozart and Verdi.

Sorry, I haven't listened to much classical music, and even then, mostly Chopin. But lately, I've been really drawn to the blues...

Church hymns touch me deeply. They are beautiful. And I also love music like in "The Lord of the Rings" or in Heroes V, in the menu (not in the expansion pack).

Church hymns are amazing! Now I go every week to listen to church music and hymns at the House of Music. They are beautiful! And they are written by such composers as Mozart and Bach.
