Cup Why Songs now adays sound so....

I dunno leh but now the songs sound like they are made in a big rush to make money.
listen to the older songs and you might get what i mean. like Simon and Garfunkel, the older Green Day albums and all those. any1 knows the actual reason why the songs now sound so... i dunno? rushed? Oh yea i'm only 14 but yea i listen to those older songs.

Well, like you already said, it's all about the money in the music business nowadays. In order to fit into the mainstream radio, labels force their artists to make their music sound more polished, more catchy, more "commercial". Like they have to fit into this certain commercial formula that worked. Cos once your music is a hit on radio or mtv, sales will be guaranteed. I guess things were much simpler in the past, so the musicians have more freedom in artistic control as compared to today...

Well that sucks... they make songs not to entertain but making money is priority. they should do some song reflection

Now the entertainment industry is mainly BUSINESS , very few good creations around . Which means, there are still a couple of good ones , but not really recognised .

I'm more into some acoustic english songs (like from Jason Mraz for eg) and japanese songs (maybe less on their vocals but their music) .


But yea, now the mainstream is LOOKS and gimmicks T_T

The "so called singers" out there who can't even get their own vocal keys right when singing live.

Same here....thought i am getting "old" as my ears can't really take the newer songs out there with those rapping, banging of drums, striking of guitar and screaming voices...really prefer older chinese songs (not that old really..) like those that are produced under year 2006...and i love classic and jap songs the most!!! They always sound so sweet and soothing for both the mind and the ear...
