Most people serious about music in any way, either as musicians or as dedicated listeners (at least from my experience in the 'States), don't usually have a very high tolerance for cheesiness (unless it is done with tongue firmly planted in cheek), and this can be an obvious problem with regard to pop.
That said, some of the best production going on today is in this particular genre. Which makes sense, as it takes some real skills to make nice-sounding records out of some of the "artists" they have to work with. Max Martin for example. I'm not a fan of most of the groups he produces, but I can really appreciate what he's able to do. |
See this is the trouble.
And I'll say this without trying to offend anybody. A lot of older men, I'm 20 have this opinion.
All I can say is, I'm not sure JT is marketed for over 40's
People who dont appreciate this music or even a good tune which is 'cheesy' pop I sometimes think are resentful because they're not cashing in on these hit songs.
I'd never say a song has to have real structure and to be 'deep' just to make it a proper song.
This isnt an argument, more so I get annoyed when I put a lot of hard work into a song and I feel my lecturer doesnt give me the credit for it because its not a 'proper' song.
Of course my songs aren't great, but I'm working on it.
