I agree, let's see if you do...

It amazes me how many shapes this same old thread comes in.

Honestly, the best attitude you can have towards music is an optimistic and open minded one cause as soon as you start looking down on other artist or other genres you'll start looking like an *******.

it's not that you have reserve to your opinion and be dishonest, it's more about getting over your ego, example, i think Maroon 5 is sh*t but you don't see me all melodramatic and making a f*ckin thread about it.

I can find a thousand ways to justify how maroon 5 sucks and how modern music sucks too but at the end i would gain nothing from making a thread about that.

I haven't really listened to a whole lot of electronic music my entire life. I've heard songs here and there, but it probably wasn't the 'good' stuff. I told whats his name that probably six times. If you want to point me in the right direction to something electronic that you think will appeal to me, I'll give it an honest listen.

Well, looking at your last.fm I see there are a couple Nine Inch Nails songs that are among your most played so there's at least some electronic music you like it seems. I'm not sure what direction to point you in since electronic music is such a broad category that encompasses so many things. Since it seems like you dig a lot of harder rocking stuff, maybe some of this electronic music is stuff you'd like:

I think it's the other way around honestly. Playing (I assume this is what you meant by making) a simple melody is, well, simple, while writing it so that it's catchy can be very challenging.

Yeah pop music is easy as **** to make in the grand scheme of things. Way more difficult to write, but I'd still say it's pretty easy to write in the grand scheme of music. Pop music is very formulaic and most mainstream pop music regurgitates the same melodies, the same transitions, etc. It's just different coats of paint but it's the a lot of the same. A lot of the time it's not even different coats of paint.

someone quick write me an awesome catchy pop song

grtwhtgrvty · 04-19-2015, 11:41 PM

I'm not saying making pop music is easy in of itself. I'm saying in the grand scheme of things, pop music is easier, by a longshot.

Ninetales · 04-19-2015, 11:42 PM

easier than what

how about this: ambient and drone are easy to make
