She is really pissing me off with these comments. She is everything that is wrong with pop music today. And the fact that this influence has spread to Kpop is highly disconcerting.
Stripping everything out of music turns it into a literal algorithm where a soulless computer run by chili dog nerd "producers" who have never once picked up a musical instrument churn out 2 minute jingles that are promoted as "songs" by bankrupt, soulless corporate suits. People used to make fun of songs that get sold to corporations to be used in their TV ads, we used to call them manufactured trash, sellouts, etc.
Now, we've got "artists" who think THIS is what we need more of, 2 minute vamps that are devoid of even the slightest hint of storytelling, musicality, creativity, or passion.
Imagine instead of the Pink Pantheress songs we've gotten so far from NJ, that someone like Teddy Park gets hired to manage New Jeans. Imagine how amazing it would be if NJ was rebranded like this and started churning out real songs, with intros, prechoruses, bridges, outros, drops, post choruses, everything that makes music unique, exciting, emotional and impactful.
Imagine if instead of singing 5 note songs in the exact same style, someone like Dany or Hanni got to sing a real song with real emotions and real dynamics. Imagine if Minji got to rap like Top or Lisa or Jennie or CL Imagine NJ performing REAL MUSIC, REAL ART like Bangbangbang, Lovesick Girls, and Ugly, instead of what they've given us so far.
