@victoriafburton There is also the fact that some artists give off very different performances depending on whether they are live or recorded. Auto-tune definitely has played a role in that aspect and explains why sometimes artists sound so different live. #F22POPMUS

@bugviewer I agree. Some young people would go to extreme lengths to attend live performances whereas others would simple prefer the recorded version of the same songs. #F22POPMUS

[Ryan D. Liu Liong Wah @burneraccx0]

I do not agree that young people nowadays prefer records over live bands. I think it is an over-generalization of a fraction of the younger demographic audience and does not reflect a vast majority of young people's opinions.

@ErinWay14 #F22POPMUS I agree and i think there is also the fact that this type of music was made to be appealing to teenagers plays a big role on why it is not dismissed by a lot of people. Younger people tend to care less about the repercussions of cultural theft

@skryanmun #F22POPMUS i agree, the talent can be recognized but the music should not be praised. This is a part that a lot of people cannot distinguish.

[Ryan D. Liu Liong Wah @burneraccx0]

The so-called schlock music was simply a way to steal certain aspects of other cultures and twist so as to fit another audience. It can certainly add value in some ways but the fundamental paet of the music is essentially theft. #F22POPMUS

@jubejube100 I agree. I would even say his words and his breaking voice put peculiar importance on the emotions he is trying to convey through his songs. #F22POPMUS #S22POPMUS

[Ryan D. Liu Liong Wah @burneraccx0]

@kdsdearing #F22POPMUS This could also be interpreted as a form of emotional expression as characterized by blues songs - emphasis on feelings

[Ryan D. Liu Liong Wah @burneraccx0]

Ray Charles used a breaking voice to put particular emphasis on emotions (all aspects of emotion) and their expression through music. This expression could signify the different facets of humanity #F22POPMUS

@ZhiweiFan2018 I agree. Nowadays, you only need a phone and sometimes the internet and you can listen to any song you want, regardless of genre, time of release or popularity. #F22POPMUS

[Ryan D. Liu Liong Wah @burneraccx0]

@EddyNoFilter the accessibility to a vast library of songs from every genre has definitely changed the way I listen to music. No more downloading, I just go to Spotify. #F22POPMUS

[Ryan D. Liu Liong Wah @burneraccx0]

I think modern listening technology has definitely allowed people to dive deeper into their own personalities by listening to the genre of music they identify with. But it has also allowed them to discover other parts of themselves due to easier access to other genres. #F22POPMUS

@Jaylumii I would add that the 'false need' created by popular music nowadays would be the over-emphasis on money and sex. Instead of exploring their creativity, artists prefer to follow these trends for exposure #F22POPMUS

[Ryan D. Liu Liong Wah @burneraccx0]

@leahkennedy111 I agree. I would say that a small minority of artists actually have well-thought lyrics and enticing music but the vast majority are simply following the current trends and have little to no substance in their songs #F22POPMUS
