Metal is way easier to write than pop music
>>131536778that's why theres a lot of it. still doesnt explain why theres so little good metal
>>131536778but not easier to play. any guitarist can strum coldplay slop.its basic bitch chord sequence 101
>>131536778Metal is pop music.
>>131537805Metal's only hard cause it's fastAnd even then it's a lot of just chugging the lowest string you have>>131537808You know what I mean you pedantic fuck
>>131537825Metal is pop music in both meanings of the word.
>>131536778atrocious bait. here's your (You).
>>131537854Hell I wish it was still pop musicHave you heard modern metal?It's fucking awful
>>131537825metal doesn't have to be fast or hard to play, in fact some of the best stuff is slowthe bar for "metal" is so low it basically just means "a lot of distortion on the guitar amp, and not punk or punk-derived"
>>131537189it's bad music on purpose, it's more about the community and less about the music's quality
>>131537808/thread
>>131537906Still pop, just crap.
>>131536778it's easier than anything else.most riffs that sound good in distortion will sound like shit on a synth, for example
Generally yeah.>>131538359>>131537854You are booked to play pop music for a wedding gig, you show up playing any form of metal and you are getting kicked out no matter how much you argue otherwise at the venue. You know this already, imbecile.
>>131538099found the retard who cant shred
>>131536778I dont care, about how easy it is to write or play, i dont care about how brutal or technical it is either. and i dont care about what non metal normgroid thinks. i just want to hear good riffs.
>>131537906>Have you heard modern metal?>It's fucking awfulI know, it's mostly legacy bands pandering to boomer nostalgia and industry plants truing to ape Sleep Token. Just a bunch of Presidents and Panteras out there.
>>131538776Bands nowadays don't have good riffsJust LOUD and BRVTAL garbage
>>131538673You are booked to make a fruit salad for a wedding catering job, you show up putting tomatoes in it and you are getting kicked out no matter how much you argue otherwise in the kitchen. You know this already, imbecile.
>>131539431You're not an academic, moron, you just have an internet connection
>>131539470Don't be so hard on yourself, anon.
>>131538673>the definition of pop music is whatever you can play at a wedding gigNice equivocation/non sequitur, kek.
>>131538030You don't know what you are talking about
>>131536778unrelated but this and x&y are coldplays only good albums, everything else they made is pop slop
>>131541193Viva La Vida has arguably a dream pop song on it and Prospekt's March has a song with a 7/4 chorus
>>131536778Idk, being gay and cringe at all times seems hard a fuck.
>>131541727>Viva La VidaAll Coldplay did was rip off Joe Satriani’s song if I could fly and got away with it so no, it’s actually pretty damn easy to write a pop song per your example
>>131537808>>131537854explain how this is pop musichttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UxGjWAfEf7Y
>>131541760Y'know Viva La Vida's an album right?And yeah they did rip that off lmao
>>131536778write 5 metals
>>131538776based and consistent pilled /meal/ist
>>131539470You got absolutely BTFO'd.
>>131541813>formally simple and predictable>relies on hooks, i.e. formulaic expectations (riffs, blast beats, gutturals)>conceived for mass distribution to a specific heterogeneous demographic unified by subculture>not written down, but stored and distributed in non-written form>sold directly as a standardized commodity (albums, merch, tickets)There.
>>131541813if you posted something like DSO, then fine, but cmon. take away the speed and the distortion here, what are you left with?
>>131541760Joe Satriani is a talentless hack who can't write a single memorable song
>>131536778>shreddingjust call it what it is. scale slop because you can't write a memorable melody
>>131536778>making music as a 4-piece band vs. music being made for you by 10 producersHmm, tough one.
>>131536778It depends what kind of metal and what kind of pop music. It also depends what you're taking as the difficulty criteria. For example, Pop has a purpose: it's supposed to appeal to a lot of people. In that sense it's more of a product, so you can judge it by how difficult it is to accomplish that goal. But a problem with that analysis is that you can't apply the same metric to metal, as this is not what it sets out to do. So I don't think this is the appropriate criteria for the purpose of this comparison. Instead you could look at how complex the music is. Typically it's harder to perform music that's more complex. You may also need to rely on more musical knowledge to compose it. By that metric I'd say metal does have pop beat. Even though there are very simple metal songs out there and there exist more complex pop songs. I'd say on average metal requires more virtuosity. Another difficulty metric is how much networking you need to do to produce a piece of music. I'd say in those terms pop does have metal beat, as pop music is typically produced with a shit ton of other people other than just the artist whose name goes on the cover. In fact often times the artist only performs the song, while it's written and composed by someone else. This is not true in all cases, but I'd say on average pop music requires far more networking with third parties.
All bad music in all genres is easy to write. Pop and metal are mostly bad
