I went to a fancy art school and because of it I have this theory: a lot of my friends from Fancy Art School who became successful are in their 30's and 40's now and producing a lot of commercially successful mainstream stuff, since they grew up listening to 90's alternative bands, they are the ones picking the music for commercials now. This is also why 80's jingles sounded like mainstream pop music from the 50's and 60's. The tastes of people in their 30's and 40's are what actually inform mainstream commercials. Hence the 30 year fashion cycle. Thanks for coming to my ted talk.

I don't watch commercials these days, but as far as I can tell, 90s alternative hasn't really been that prevalent in the mainstream. I'm still not hearing any Nirvana or Soundgarden being used in car-commercials. The only exposure to Nirvana I've heard in movies is "The Batman" and that god-awful cover of "Teen Spirit" in Black Widow.

Commercials have ruined so many songs for me. I am so thankful I got rid of television in 2007. It's enabled me to enjoy so much music I'd otherwise be unable to dissociate from a fucking commercial... I love the song Roam by the B52's, but even still, after all this time, all I think of when I listen to it is a travel agency commercial I saw when I was 8 or 9... Half of ACDC's and Guns and Roses's songs are ruined for me by association with commercials and movies. Despite my best efforts not to, Do you Realize by the Flaming Lips always reminds me of a car commercial as well. :(

I agree with Todd, music in general shouldn't be about just advertising and only that. It's just so sad that this is all music is now, I remember when I could listen to a song on it's own and advertisements are not rubbing in your face constantly just for people to buy their products. I understand these companies are making a business by putting out these artists/bands who would like to advance their career, but it is also hurting the music industry and only making these people's songs a novelty. I just wish music could just be music and stick with it without people falling for the advertisements and not remembering what song and who sang the songs on their own.

I heard this as a rumor so I can't guarantee its authenticity, but my understanding is that Imagine Dragons was originally assembled to write music for Spiderman Turn Off The Dark, but early into production someone decided they really liked their music on its own and decided to promote them as a band, independent from the musical. Radioactive was originally about the radioactive spider that bit Peter Parker, but the lyrics were changed to avoid association with Spiderman.

I actually like imagine dragons, and no I'm not here to push my opinion I just wanted to share something. I follow the imagine dragons album releases pretty intently, and I started to notice something. Thunder was barely as popular as it is now for a while, and then that car commercial was released. When I first heard that car commercial I was like, "oh yeah...that song. Thought they would've used something for popular. Eh." And then not long after thunder became ridiculously popular. What's interesting about this is that I've listened to a lot of other imagine dragons songs, but only the louder, more...big sings ever get popular. I think that's because those are the only songs which ever get used for commercials, thus the bands make more songs like that to make money. It's like natural selection with songs. Natural songlection. Evolusong.

Great review and analysis on the commercialism of music in our society!

I have the same reaction with Imagine Dragons as you have in that their music is meant to be filler for commercials and the radio. Every time I hear them, I feel indifferent toward the songs. I also caught on as well to the period in Portugal. The Man’s name. Feels funny every time I say it!

Let's not forget Moby, who pioneered this strategy: "In 1999, Moby released the album Play. The album had moderate sales after its release, but eventually went on to sell over ten million records worldwide a year later. Every song on the album was licensed internationally to various films, advertisements, and TV shows, as well as independent films and non-profit groups." [wikipedia] Even back in 1999, licensing your music to commercials got more air play than radio.

It's so interesting to me how different music in the US is to music in the UK. Here, I have never heard Feel it Still - EVER - except for on KZbin, and I don't even hear any Imagine Dragons songs either except for the very occasional car advert. It's also come up before, for example when everyone was complaining about Stressed Out being over played on the radio in America, and I have never heard any Twenty One Pilots song on the radio ever. Plus, in the UK Bastille has had another quite big hit with Good Grief. It's so fascinating to me!

Also, am I the only one who thinks that for a band like Imagine Dragons to release a song called "Natural" is tempting fate?

Most popular heavy metal from the 80s and alternative rock from the 90s was much heavier and had more panache than recent popular "rock". And of course the 70s were the golden era for hard rock in terms of popularity. Heavier stuff never gets on the Hot 100 now. You'll never hear bands like Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, old school Linkin Park, Metallica, Judas Priest, Nirvana, etc on the Hot 100 these days. Metallica's last album was actually really good and they got 0 singles on the Hot 100... yet Death Magnetic did and all of their old albums had singles on the Hot 100.

While the review was great I have to disagree with Todd about Feel It Steel only evoking the fun aspect of the 60s. I think it's funny that he points out that the reason why the 60s is feeling relevant now is because of all the turmoil, when that's EXACTLY the point of the song. Portugal. The Man are literally saying that they don't feel like much has changed since then which is the whole reason they came up with the song. Heck, if you go to the music video for the song, it's littered with angry comments from the alt right for the song daring to suggest that racism is still a problem.

Gregory Wiederecht you’d be surprised what messages or emotions actually can be conveyed through upbeat or pleasant sounding songs. Like how the dance remix of I Took a Pill in Ibiza sounds a lot sadder than the original song. Or how The A Team by Ed Sheeran sounds really pleasant, even though it’s juxtaposed against really dark and sad lyrics (the pleasantness makes the girl sound beautiful though-which is the point, he wants to also humanize her). Or take Little Talks by Of Monsters and Men, an upbeat song about...death and coping with losing a loved one. By making it upbeat, the song handles the subject as a natural part of life. One of the great things about each of those songs? The juxtaposition makes each song much more subtle, and combined with the profoundness of each song, you think about the song a lot longer than, say, 1-800-273-8255 by Logic, even though that song is so explicitly about suicide that the title is the suicide hotline.

Lil Pumps lyrics's are so meticulously crafted; only 25 seconds in and I can tell he has truly mastered the skill of lyricism. This boy is a genius. Some say Shakespeare's ability to write and tell a story are unparalleled, however I feel his skills are being put to the test by this young star. Lil Pump never fails to coax me in with his truly thought provoking lyrics. He is an artist, yet uses words. He is not bound by the materialistic constraints of paint, pen or pencil. He has limitless access to an almost infinite plethora of words and phrases, each of which are malleable to his own liking. One cannot simply concoct a track where only 98 different words are used throughout its ENTIRETY. Though the vocabulary that is used is minimal and far from complex, it doesn't stop him from making his audience ponder. This lack of words shows how Lil Pump exceeds the craftsmanship of even the most highly regarded literature authors, as he does not need to excessively use the more complex and intricate words to make his point, this style that he alone has procured has had one of the biggest impacts music history has ever seen. In regards to the impact this young boy has had at only age 17, he can be likened to that of Malala Yousafzai a young Pakistani girl who was shot in the head by militants for daring to go to school in October 2012. She has since dedicated her life to bettering the people of this world, as Lil Pump has. This new young, lively generation has lots to offer. Lil Pump is an exemplary example; he is the hero we need but don't deserve. In the words of Gandhi "You must be the change you wish to see in the world."

Truly the finest, most exquisite example of high art you will ever find in the current era of the new millennium. A true progenitor with the objective to redefine the fundamental confines of art as we've grown intrinsically familiar with.
