If you like the juicy instrumentals why listen to FLNF they are by far horrible. And nearly every band signed, unsigned, on a major label, and even kids our age are doing what your calling poppy. Your saying every band is pop and every genre is pop because everyones doing it, we might as well have no more music because it's pop. Everything that come out of your mouth your saying is pop.

Hmmm... I was under the impression that pop was short for popular and basically referred to the mainstream, which none of those bands are. I do see what u mean though as far as production and budget, and I wouldn't say a band using more money to record automatically makes it pop or mainstream. The type of poppy music I don't like is the kind that doesn't sound like the music is coming from within the artist, it sounds like it was given as an assignment by some record mogul. I like expressive music, and I thought all those bands I mentioned were that.

At Tool:Pop is a recording style. Indie is a recording style. The bands you're talking about have a pop recording style. That makes them poppy.

I like FLNF's instrumetals. They're fun and catchy. You obviously don't understand the difference between an overproduced an album an average one and one that someone went all Steve Albini on its ass.

Wanting good production doesn't make anyone pop if that was the case 97% of all music would be considered pop

I never said it wasn't. And indie is also everything that's not mainstream. But words can be used in more than one way. Pop can describe a style of recording while lo-fi describes the opposite end.

Who said anything about pop being good production? I think pop is bad production.
And most music isn't produced with vocals ultra high in the mix I'd say about 15% is.
There's a line between clean and pop.

If bad quality was pop than FLNF is pop you even said it.

I think FLNF is good production.

Loser · 02-19-2007, 08:48 PM

Than why did you say it was bad quality?
