why did pop songs stop using guitar solos?
>>
Beat It isn't a pop song.
>>
no one cares about guitar anymore. the instrument had a good run but by now there's nothing left to do with it

pop-rock is happy pop music played with guitars. Beat it is an aggressive rock song with pop production thrown in.

This attitude is just trannies and faggot zoomers who watch blacked porn. You're cucked and have no confidence other than anything except sucking off black dudes. That is literally all it is. You're faggots. Your own chicks are better guitar players than you now.

Rock became uncool in the 90s. Before "alternative rock", rock was the default form of popular music. But alternative rock didn't have broad enough of an appeal, so rock stopped being the standard and as a result it stopped being imitated by other genres.
>>
>>124598850
pop and music in general became more about solo artists and a lead guitar interferes with that
>>
>>124598953
there's no other lead instrument taking its place and it's not like the vocals, percussion etc are doing anything novel in most pop songs either
>>
>>124598850
Music synthesis and MIDI made the use of actual physical instruments obsolete by the turn of the millennium.
Why pay a session musician when you can churn out a shitty lead in some software in 10 minutes?
>>
>>124598953
How about using performance-sensitive processing in PureData to make crazy sounds?

Because it requires talent and talent let themselves be paid well. It's too expensive for executives.
>>
>>124601021
Then how come no good music resulted from that?

You know nothing about the music industry and have never been in a band. Most of the time you're an overworked and poorly paid slave of the label.

I love the guy, but Geordie Greep is hardly a big star even now. He gets a few hundred thousand streams a month, tours modest venues, and hasn't done a lot of big media appearances.

I think that'll change soon, but he's got to be at lesst ten times bigger first.

It's actually time to get your outfit ready for the Compton Christmas Parade because rap is fucking BACK baby

no current top 40 song has a guitar lead. it's at best just a little strumming on an acoustic to fill up the mix .

pop music became background music for shopping at walmart or pumping gas, it actively wants you to NOT pay attention to it and just "vibe"

>>124600545
