Hey guys, I always wondered why most people tend to listen easy going and easy made music.
Not a lot of people enjoy for example heavy metal styles with lots of things goin on, or blues, or alternative/stoner bands, most just like to listen something so simplified, it's sometimes a bit too cheesy. Why do you think this happens? Why does more people tend to listen very simplified music? -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE

Yeah, that is the point most of the time. People sometimes don't even listen to the lyrics, and this is specially true if the lyrics are on foreign language. In that case, a strong melodic catch is needed. I think Lady Gaga's songs can be in spanish or french, and still be very catchy, the melody is brain-washing
 Well, people do tend to listen to various stuff, and I cannot judge that, people like different stuff. Not a lot of people will listen to SRV, Robert Johnson, Steve Vai, whatever.. But why is this like that? Don't people like music? I mean, if you like music you like and respect all kinds of music? -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE

I often wonder how the hell some songs get played in the radio.
I do not understand the vast majority of Danes on this subject. When I go to the gym, they play a lot of radio music, which really anoys me Not long ago they played this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oYxJdO8vuAk...feature=related Why? --------------------  |

That's a very good question.
I think it's because the human mind tends to be lazy. We all prefer to go for the easiest shortest way around things in order to preserve as much energy as possible. It's not a bad thing. But I think it's related to your question. Easy music requires less energy to be engaged with and therefore the majority of listeners prefer it. -------------------- Visit my:

i think it´s because the huge amount of marketing those simpler bands has, and also because the human brain loves repetition so much

I think because most people don't have an understand of music itself. I've noticed most of society listens to what they are told is hip, hot, and new. Which leads to how some have mentioned brainwashed and I agree with that. I can hear whats on the radio but I do as some of you have said, its just noise in the background.
In my circle of friends most of the ones who played an instrument of some sort listen to more than just whats on the radio. They talk about just wanting to sit at home, kick back and listen to music. I think my biggest pet peeve is "Auto-Tune" I can't stand it at all. Sadly its almost everywhere in music now. Even the new Alice Cooper cd has it on a track. -------------------- Guitars:

It's hard to judge
a good musical taste comes from education, antourage, ideals - it's a combo of factors actually... Who's to blame? Society?

Hahah, I love listening to Gambale, Holdsworth, Howe, Miles, all the classics too while working on something, but it's also something that many people just didn't heard of!
Most people I believe stick to really watered down pop music with ethnic elements, what do you think?

I think that most of the people only hears the melody and in some case the lyrics... all the other things only distracts from what they are interested in hearing.. that's why the simplest styles always win. I have been talking about this with some friends and we got that conclusion... what do you think?

QUOTE (Gitarrero @ Sep 14 2011, 08:08 PM)  Cause they don't really listen to the music, it is just noodling in the background. To fully enjoy SRV or Death Metal you have to listen carefully, without doing other stuff. I often told my girlfriend "This song is about this topic..." even if it was a Beyonce song  and she was like "I never really listen to the lyrics or what's going on in a song"...This was the first thing i thought of when i read Ivan's first post. People don't listen to the music. Always when i listen to music i try to find out whats going on and analyze it. Thats why i cant listen to music lile hip hop, rap and all that other crap because nothing happens in the song -------------------- My Gear
