Is Pop Music Dead?

Some say pop music is dead.. I don't know if I agree though. So today I take a little bit of a dive into pop music and how it's changed over the course of the last decade.

I’m so tired I didn’t process anything about the video but watched it entirely cause I like the editing. Will rewatch later when I’m functional. Nice moustache.

[@blustre]

lmao thank you

[@justinagosto2096]

During the 2010’s, I was definitely a “pop music sucks” guy. But now that I’m older, there’s some pop music that absolutely slaps

[@edibleandsentientautomobil5396]

I remember early 2010s pop music (especially the EDM oriented ones) felt so lively, upbeat and youth-ish

[@braydencoversbeatles4029]

i mean popular music fluctuates between happy and moody and it has been since the 50s. the happiness eventually gets boring, so more moody music gets popular until that's the dominant sound, but eventually that gets boring and it goes back

[@blustre]

interesting, can def see that happening soon

[@latinoburger123]

2006-2010 we had: Rihanna, Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, Drake, Nicki Minaj, Justin Bieber, Taylor Swift, Adele, Bruno Mars, Kesha and more who premiered or were starting to become more famous & we just haven’t had a huge explosion of main stream Artist like that since

[@ahedgehog1879]

I don't think music is dead, I think media in general is fractured right now. Probably because the transition is happening where gen alpha will become the forefront for trends. (We're so cooked)

[@JamesJimmaHarding]

With the way things have been since COVID (which i won't go into for the sake of keeping it short), i feel like people have given up on "the hot new stuff coming out" and are clinging to childhood nostalgia for dear life as their go-to "escape from the problems of the real world"

[@javasuave]

Every stadium or large event ive been to plays 2010’s pop, almost nothing recent. I think this video perfectly encapsulates why

[@Youtubeaccount50512]

Bro whenever i turn up the radio all i hear is 2000-2010s pop.

[@the.aardvark]

2010s pop is great cause all the songs were about nothing but partying and having fun. Even without the childhood memories and the nostalgia (which to a lot of people are very important when it comes to the 2010s) it's simply fun music you put on to turn your mind off and feel good. No thoughts, just *HEY I JUST MET YOU*

[@anthaliq4266]

Hyperpop video yes mhm 👍

[@blustre]

will do 🫡

[@chuuchuuutrain]

i love hyperpop sm but I don’t like pop that much is that bad

[@veeraboddu4630]

All those 2010's pop songs seem happ and fun but most of them tend to have darker more inapropriate themes if you listen closey

[@elizalynn227]

LISTEN TO CHAPPELL ROAN!!! I can’t recommend her music enough if you want that super fun happy pop music that sounds similar to the 2010s stuff that was so great, but also modern enough that it doesn’t feel like she’s copying old music. I really think she might be the next big thing in this genre.

[@blustre]

will def check them out!

[@gubbypls]

You called it

[@patandseankelly]

Bro, we will die on that "Call Me Maybe" hill with you. ☠

[@AshtonMcNamara-bk5bc]

I love your videos and this video needs more likes

[@blustre]

i appreciate it!

[@hopedespain3598]

I agree that I am quiet bored with modern music. I keep going back to older stuff because it just hit different

[@catkin-z8g]

I can't listen to old stuff. Eternal Sunshine is the best album ever.

[@user-ir3sg2zi4n]

great opinion. I subscribed to you. I look forward to more videos

[@masonehubbard]

I think you’re right on, the newest Coldplay album is a great example of an upbeat, positive pop album that got trashed as too corporate and lifeless

[@OmtayFC]

I used to be a pop fan but recently I’ve converted to hip hop I think this is a similar experience for a lot of people and now for me at least looking back on it I dislike a lot of it but there are still some undeniable bangers but nowadays I can’t stand any of the pop music on radio

[@kimyona9746]

Pop is okay. It's still better than modern country. (RIP country man, 90s country is good). Though at least we are in the golden age of edm and other electronic genres. Genres like Artcore, Breakcore, Bass House, Future Bounce, Melodic Brostep (especially 2020-2021 for this genre), and some other much more enjoyable genres than the previous era of early brostep, bigroom, and glitch hop. Though RIP DnB man, it's gotten so commercialized as of recent.

[@tanner1189]

It goes like nana by peggy gou was carrying 2023 tbh loved that song

[@aaronmelito2523]

Justice for scaled and icy pt.2

[@adzdrawss]

SAI JUSTICE ✊✊

[@goatmilkextract]

2024 is literally the year of sabrina, chappel roan, and charli xcx !! Pop has never left

[@ChickenFriedNachoFries]

this video made me realize something… I just hate pop in general

[@FishVirus]

some pop is good, a lot of it sucks but there are some artists (like lemon demon) that do pop really well

[@ChickenFriedNachoFries]

@@FishVirus oh yeah some pop is pretty tolerable, some are good, but the more happy pop songs get on my nerves and the more depressing ones kinda bore me

[@FishVirus]

@@ChickenFriedNachoFries 100% agree, it’s hard to have it not all sound same-y

[@cranklabexplosion-labcentr8245]

You are not alone

[@hiba_stxr]

@@FishVirus frfr lemon demon is fire, didnt even know he was pop. i like olivia. shes new and shes bringing back that angsty pop punk. i rlly love her songs that r punk rock and stuff

[@christophers5949]

Maroon 5's first album is the only album that i listen to every song on, their second album also is a bop, they had a very unique sound in both of those albums, then kinda went more mainstream, still some good songs, but those first two albums are the reason maroon 5 is my #1 artist

[@amyrchenn]

oh my god blustre kmoe went to my high school and we were on the school dance team together i never thought you’d mention him

[@IGNACY-fp8zo]

There finally once again more than one genre playing on the radio

[@Grace-tg4oy]

I just listened to Somebody I Used to Know and I came to realize that we might never get something like that again. We're not going to get a Nirvana or a Lorde. Everything is so optimized for an algorithm that the era of some artist coming in and destroying our previous understanding of what pop could be is over.

[@adzdrawss]

I remember when scaled and icy came out. So many people were hating on it. I could see where some of them were coming from especially cuz saturday was probably the most bland pop out of their songs. their newest song “backslide” literally has a line in it ”I wish I never did Saturday” which is either lore related or irl (or a mix of both) which is a crazy line either way

[@celly-vq8dc]

“pop music is dying” me, who only listens to one artist: the *what*

[@meMetallo]

What you feel about 2010s, I fell about early 2000s Pop with 2008 being the teisting point of when the decline of pop music became evident. I think it is subjective for the most, even if with the 2008 crisis and some other coincidence (like the decline of iTuned and leter the rise of music streaming) something really changed in the concept of pop itself

[@markanderson7236]

0:46 Didn't know, until now, that it was the guy from the Amazon Prime 'Reacher' series.

[@lenatian1078]

THE 2010S WERE PEAK FR.

[@hanadinanou2975]

❤❤❤ilove pop music but 2000 to 2019 this years they where my best song in my whole life miss those times so much back then music was unique and dancing but now idont like new music is Boring

[@termitesc.aardwolf3644]

Every once in a while, a pop banger like Blinding Lights will come out but for the most part, the only good modern pop music would be indie or alternative pop that usually isn't played on mainstream radio stations.

[@sacredflamemusic]

I got SOOO happy when you shouted out kmoe

[@coolsince4ever]

Loving the channel, very fresh and unique

[@blustre]

i appreciate it!

[@Artax-jv8zt]

I agree with alot of what you have said, but 2010's is not a golden age of music. What about the 50's, 60's , 70's, 80's and 90's?

[@young_jon_da_sauce_god]

I agree with you.

[@delix787]

Ever since Taylor Swift took over, I literally don’t hear about anyone anymore. 😢

[@FOMOmix]

how do you spell that K MO?????????

[@andreasjensen6617]

I don’t really like pop but damn if I am not gonna start smiling when I hear happy

[@cranklabexplosion-labcentr8245]

In a few years, all pop/rap/rnb songs will just consist of a loud bass kick, finger snap snare, and auto tuned variations of “yea, girl, smellin, king, club, ayy kay, ‘gatti/‘rari, yoOoooOouUu , and rolling R’s” with a one and a half minute run time.

[@oscarpasta6670]

Pleaaase I wanna follow your advice but when you talk about an artist can you write his name in your video or in the description at least ? Can't find any kemo/key-moe/k-mo pop artist anywhere. Thanks !

[@blustre]

omg sorry i'll put it in the description, it's "kmoe"

[@julyreverie]

i think happy ruined it for everyone 😂 we collectively said actually we are NOT happy 😠

[@sunshineimperials1600]

Not only is pop music bad now, there are a lot less new songs than they were a couple years back, and YT’t front page is a joke now.

[@mr.theking2484]

I really hate where modern pop is going, as it is trending towards a more cookie-cutter sound in general, but pop as a genre I think is a really good genre. And don't get me wrong, some recent pop songs have been bangers, it's just the general trend that's worrying.

[@Efefiusz]

Radiohead reference??? Thoms yorke and johnny greenwood maj ng out???

[@josh7251]

how can one pop a can and live thru the eyes that you see

[@NinaValentine9]

Pop music doesn't do it for me but I enjoy your thoughts on music.

[@Hardy30680]

Modern pop music sounds so boring to me. For the past 12 years, I've been sticking to so-called retrowave which is new music in 80s style, and I've discovered many catchy songs that I had on repeat for weeks.

[@Lyisdead]

No sir you're not stupid WE NEED MORE OF YOUR VIDEOS PLEASE

[@blustre]

if you insist

[@reveriesoul6078]

Check out the genre: Shimmer Pop

[@blustre]

sounds shiny

[@aboatingbird1316]

Yeah blustre!!!!!!

[@blustre]

YEAH

[@sherisamson9621]

This brought up so many more annoying, repetitive POP Songs that seem to retain a position in my brain forever. Barbie GIrl; Cher's Believe song; Justin Timberlake songs, the Boy Band era songs...They seem to play at restaurants as background music a lot.
