Lol. Katy is hardly the only artist I listen to but I digress.

 

First off is the diss on Katy. Ignoring the fact that she does have a christian album, the vast majority of Katy's song are written based on personal experiences, and she has quite a few songs with very powerful or positive meanings. Most notable being Firework and By The Grace of God (which was written about her being suicidal after her divorce). Really looking at her albums, the only songs that you could make a case for being "repeating stuff and having a catchy tune" is Birthday, Walking on Air, This is How We Do, Last Friday Night, Peacock, I Kissed a Girl, Waking Up In Vegas, Hot n Cold. That's 8 songs stretching across 3 albums totaling 43 songs (I counted Wide Awake and Part of Me in this count). 8/43 is hardly half. You can maybe make an argument over a few other songs not having much meaning, notably Teenage Dream and Cali Gurls off the top of my head, but regardless, Katy is a horrible example to use here.

 

Moving on to the second part. "most of the music today is just repeating stuff and having a catchy tune...nowadays everything is trash." Don't know how much more I really need to say here, but there's plenty of new artists and music out there that do not fit your statement. Want an example? How about

. With how far technology has come and how easily you can access new music, there's no reason to claim "nowadays everything is trash." Just because the radio plays the same 10-20 songs over and over, doesn't mean there isn't plenty of new music out there that has the deep messages you so desire.

 

 

Edit: And also, just because a song might might not have some deep, spiritual meaning, and is catchy, doesn't really make it trash. Get off your musical high horse.

 

I think metal meant the music everyone hears aka Radio and pop stuff. Of course you can find a few in those that mean something, and you can also find very talented artists that are simply unpopular or unknown to the general public. But I thing Metal's right saying most of nowadays music is trash, it's all about making that one catchy beat and music that everyone will like and show to others.

Vocal house is currently my favorite, I'm going to see martin Garrix one month from now!

I don't think I have one genre that I like over all others since I like a little bit of everything if it sounds good to me. Although if I had a gun to my head and had to choose it would probably be R&B.
