as a teenage girl im so glad to see a man standing up for gen z pop. most guys hate it bc they think they r so different and edgy but rly they r just hating for no reason at all. its ok to like older music but they dont need to hate new pop just because they are small minded to js the trending tiktok songs.
I mean, I don't like most music that is released after 2016 is because the production of most music rest have been since then is SOOOOO FUCKING LAME!!! The "anti-chrous" and that kinda shit, that started because of the fucking Lana Del Ray, I FUCKING HATE IT!!! And actually I haven't gotten to really started to know things about American Pop music until February 2016, and I'm NOT from America or any English speaking countries, so... Nostalgia DOESN'T fucking apply to me, I like those music purely because I LOVE those music!!! Like I recently have been fell in love with Heartbeat Song by Kelly Clarkson again!!! Like HOW FUCKING HARD the beat hits and the tone of the beat sounds like just makes it stand out from the Synth-Pop that was being released back then, you know? That's the type of good music that I'm talking music!!! And it peaked at No. 21 on Billboard Hot 100, which is technicaly NOT REALLY a "hit", so it's another proof that I like the music from this era (2009-2016, and the quality of Pop music have been gone down after 2012, but there are some good stuff here and there until 2016, so... yeah.)it's because it was "popular" or something. (Which I also KINDA loved, but... I think that Uptown Funk for example, the production is... pretty lame, NOT REALLY polished enough or something? The mix of the radio mix version is better, but... I don't know if I still love it, probably because I've been having like an opinion about the song, so... it's hard and I probably don't really wanna change it either? Or there's something that I don't like? I think that that's probably the case? Maybe it's the saxophone that I don't like or something? So... yeah, anyways.) And btw, just because the music that you listen to have "anti-chrous", have the choruses that are against the climax that music are supposed to have DOESN'T make you "edgy" or "cool" or something like that. I hope that when this era of music (since 2017) have become the past, when people started to phrase it because of the "Nostalgia", I will still NOT change my opinion. I think that the American Pop music from 2009 to 2016 are THE BEST. And 2012 is my FAVORITE year of music in history, because no matter it's Pop, EDM Pop, Electro Pop, Pop Rock, all have some hits that I LOVE!!! That's the good music year that I'm talking about, you know!? Not the kind of "anti-chrous" shit that you or some gen Z like JUST because it's different from most mainstream Pop that came from the past, or the stuff that is popular within our generation (I born in 2002), so you brainwash yourself to like it or something?

My favorite Taylor Swift song is Long Live I don’t know why sooooo many people hate on Taylor Swift like i get don’t have to like her music but making it a obsession to hate on her is just…
This whole attitude towards pop music at the moment is giving such boomer energy. My favourite artist is Taylor Swift and I have been a massive fan since Fearless era - 15+ years, over half of my life. My parents have always been closed off to her, especially my Dad who gets irritated every time I play her music, and for no good reason other than it isnt his icons from the 60s and 70s, Beatles, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin. I totally get loving the stuff that is tied to nostalgia for you, they are his version of Taylor swift, and they all make great music (Some I like more than others haha). But I never want to be so closed-minded about the music that inspires my own children, so I have to stay open minded about changes to pop music, because the only guarantee is that it will change!
What I love about haters is that they are often more obsessed with the artist than the fans, so they end up defeating themselves when they try to make fun of anything, cus you know they had to dig for that.
My dad he tells me that when he was younger in the 80s all the bands that everyone loves from the 80s at the time the fans that liked it were made fun off. My dad has met up people who made fun of him for liking rock music now and they have claimed they always liked there music. The same thing will happen with todays music people who don’t like the popular stuff now will say in 20 years that they were always fans and loved the music
Real. Taylor dominating the industry this decade was just like Madonna back in the 80's. UNTOUCHABLE. And yes, it will surprise everyone when Taylor eventually retires and haters of that time will be like, "Oh I just miss when Taylor took over the world" nostalgia is something else
3:41 im a straight male swiftie, and i love Taylor's bridges Your On Your Own Kid The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived Getaway Car Cruel Summer Out Of The Woods Wouldve Couldve Shouldve Shake It Off You Belong With Me Enchanted All Too Well (10 Min ofc) August Betty Champagne Problems Marjorie Bejewelled Fortnight and so so many more

@@daisyyydoggg true. people (mosty boys and men) hate on Taylor Swift cuz they think all of her songs are about a breakup from 20 years ago and all of her songs are about boys. i used to think this too, but one day i decided to have a listen to my sisters fav song of Taylor ( Bejewlled) and it was kinda iconic. now i enjoy taylors music, but anyway. i wish people had a deeper look into her music before hating. they mostly do be hating on songs that they heard on the radio or something like Fortnight or Is It Over Now?. but she has so much more than those songs.
@@craigmoon2121its nice that you gave it a try!! most people will just say they hate someone but they haven’t even heard a single song beside their most popular.
I don’t want to be different but gracie abrams music and entire persona is boring. she’s just a copy of lorde/taylor. No originalitity or creativity in her music, she’s not on the same level as chappell or olivia.
3:12 i love modern pop, and old pop. got no fucking idea why people say "oh Olivia Rodrigo has a bad voice" that is just rude and keep your opinion to yourself, her voice is so beautiful. but the thing is, sometimes I do miss the 2010-2014 Bruno Mars era, and those singers sometimes, gives me nostalgia of how far we have came, and it makes me cry.
I personally like the 2010s pop SOUND better, but 2020s pop is so deep and lyrically complex. I honestly think that sonically 1989 and reputation were Taylor's best albums SONICALLY, but LYRICALLY folklore and midnights and ttpd are so good! Sabrina's Singular Act I album was so catchy and sonically i'd want to dance to, but it lacked depth compared to emails i cant send and short n sweet. Still short and sweet has amazing catchy songs. Eternal Sunshine unlike the rest of her albums i dont feel like dancing, but it has an unmatched honesty and lyricism.
I think Chappell Roan is going to go down in history as a legendary artist. Her vocals are stunning, her songs range from simple and fun to beautiful and sad, her stage presence is phenomenal, and everything about her screams Pop Queen. I think we are going to be talking about Chappell to our grandchildren in the same way our grandparents talk about the Beatles or Elvis
My music taste is so over the place so one minute I’m listening to Nirvana and the next it’s Taylor Swift and the next it’s Aayliah and the next it’s indie artists no one ever’s heard of.
i totally agree, people, no matter what kind of music they make, don’t deserve hate (unless they are an actually bad person). there’s something called an opinion and everyone has it
im a swiftie and my friend doesnt like her songs. but she NEVER shames or puts down Taylor Swift. idk what's going with the ppl now. like its ok if u dont like a singer and share ur opinion on it, but u dont hv to go around making other ppl hate them or talk bad abt them...
The critique that pop music today is bad makes no sense because so much of today’s pop music is influenced by the 80’s and 90’s but lyrically elevated. I think we are in the golden age of pop music, and much of the early 10’s pop, that some people say was peak, has not aged well.
Also, the mixing and production sauce of today is SO exciting. So many advances in music tech from those time to make songs have more depth, clearer balance, and hit harder
i don’t get why people call artists whose music they don’t like talentless. just because they don’t like an artists music doesn’t mean they’re not talented. also these haters think they special for not liking modern music.
Thanks for making this video. Idk why ppl hate so much over pop like it’s so good. We all have opinions like I don’t like Taylor swifts music, or chapel roans, but I’m not gonna go make a video about how bad I think they are. I also hate how people say a singer isn’t talented or not have a good voice when they have multiple Grammys, Oscars, won awards for their music or reached top 10 in Spotify. They also don’t stop to think maybe the reason they got those awards was from being talented and having a good voice. And I hate when ppl hate popular songs just cause they’re popular, maybe they’re popular because they’re good.
I literally made a playlist and named it " this is a playlist for all em people who say I only listen to Taylor swift" and it's a full playlist of artists like Halsey, Chappelle roan, Olivia Rodrigo, Britney Spears, Melanie Martinez, Billie eilish and even some smaller like Ruth b., zella day, Madison page, faith Marie, AviVA, ruelle, fleurie, Valerie boussard, Bishop Briggs, Bea Miller, mxmtoon, AURORA and even songs for nostalgia such as Kelly Clarkson, Rihanna, Avril Lavigne, Natasha beddingfield, Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Gwen Stefani, Selena Gomez, Cher Lloyd and p!NK even bewitched and a couple songs my mom played when I was a kid that I really liked such as bleeding love by Leona Lewis, breathe by Anna nalick, and hold on by Wilson Philips, human by Christina Perri and jar of hearts. I just got tired of people thinking my entire music taste was only Taylor swift and that is frowned upon for some reason even her being my top artist and a guy was like " bro all you listen to is Taylor swift" when Sabrina Carpenter would play or Zara Larson and I'm just like uuuuh huh. I still have my Taylor swift stuff on Spotify but like I made a separate playlist and it's profile pic is her with her middle finger trophy.😂
Seriously! first they hate on the artists who made multiple varieties of success, and then they act like they can do any better. like it’s embarrassing how jealous the are. they could simply say they don’t prefer their music instead of acting like they’re some brainiac on music 😐
Wow Omar, you really surprise me every time I watch one of your videos. Every time I watch one of your videos I go out without a new knowledge and or a new thought to reflect about. Thank you very much for your presence in this platform and for demonstrating that you know about what you’re talking. Not to mention that your content is very entretaining. Bye
Bro I relate to u so much, I love pop music but people always say they listen to rap so I’m glad there’s someone who can appreciate legendary music when they hear it🙂↕️
I get that some people are not a fan of Taylor swift’s music which everyone can have different opinions but calling her a bad singer or not talented is crazy cause she can actually write songs by herself and that takes talent and creativity.
Honestly we all have different music TASTE (Sabrina❤️) and some people can agree on some things but that doesn’t mean people have to hate on these talented Artists ❤️🫶
This is really good, but not all the people you talked about were saying mean comments, they were just saying their opinion. It’s okay to not love the songs that everyone listens to right now
Bruno has new music and it's pretty great, but I guess he isn't as popular as he used to be. He moved into more of a retro-inspired sound. For current male pop stars I'm thinking Conan Gray, Benson Boone and Noah Kahan, although Noah is more indie/folk and Benson is pop/indie/rock influences So idk if you can truly call them "pop stars". I'd say Ed Sheeran is still going strong.
I’m gonna be honest, Olivia, Sabrina, Billie, I love them but their music isn’t my cup of tea. I’m a huge swiftie, my favorites are evermore and folklore which are more my style of music, but I don’t hate pop music. I don’t have many pop songs (other than Taylor’s) in my playlist but if I hear all America bitch play I’m going to dance along. You can like different styles of music and still appreciate pop. I don’t know why that’s so hard for people to understand 😅
2:10 “say it once again with feeling how the death rattled breathing silenced as the soul was leaving, the deflation of our dreaming, leaving me bereft and reeling, by beloved ghost and me sitting in a tree D-Y-I-N-G” yep totally all about the beat the lyrics mean nothing. haters are crazyyyy
I am absolutely laughing right now! I remember when Michael Jackson (before the allegations) was criticized for the same thing as Billie Eilish, Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande, and Dua Lipa!
There is a REALLY good indie folk artist named Liana Flores, who you might know from rises the moon. She released a new album named Flower of the Soul, (I have a signed vinyl) and it’s AMAZING. She seems like she came from the renaissance period with her talents, such as singing, songwriting, speaking 2-4 languages, photography, art, poetry, performing etc. She NEEDS to be recognized.
What I hate most isn’t that they dislike music, cos that’s subjective. It’s that they spread their hate everywhere, just to spread negativity. It pisses me off.
as an avid pop not listener, i confirm i think sabrina carpenter and olivia rodrigo are the current pop artists with the most interesting and catchy songs. shes also not an industry plant, sure i heard her name a couple months ago for the very first time but when i dug into her past shes been trying for years to become better at music and pop off and her hard work paid off
0:36 Ironic how when I was a teenager, I said the same thing as her but replaced the music from 2024 with music from the late 2010s [especially 2017 to 2019, even after listening to some good ones too] and said that 2000s and early 2010s music was way better. Thank God I'm not that person anymore cuz overtly-opinionated music review channels ruined my teenhood fr.
I used to be a pop music hater cause everyone els3 was… I wasn’t doing any listening for myself.. thinking it was all bad.. I missed out on my favorite type of music
I will give you a Metallers perspective: Out of all the music coming out, majority of modern Pop music, the quality has been diluted: 1/ Auto tune and heavy vocal affects. 2/ Music created by PC Software, taking away feeling in music. 3/ Music barely can string 2-3 musical notes together, lacking musical melody. 4/ Mundane repetitive beats and basslines the main drive of a track. For a Pop song to work, it must focus on the average norm, not towards an acquired taste, not musically advanced, so that means looking towards instant gratifying sounds. A track which provides an addictive hook which repeats in your head till you like it. There are Pop artists which are fantastic and creative, but don’t make that impact due to money restraints to promote, musically too creative and alternative, don’t follow the trends: Maggie Linderman, Lolo, Florrie, etc I must accept, there isn’t going to be an Epica or Nightwish in the charts, they are just another level of creativity and too musically involved, for the average norm. For example, my favourite tracks this year so far: Symphonic Metal from Finland: Nightwish - The Day Of… Post Black Metal from Czech: Ánni - Elergy Of Decay Symphonic Metal from Germany: Leaves’ Eyes - Who Wants To Live Forever Power Metal from Sweden: Amaranthe - The Catalyst Out of a lot of unlistenable chart tracks in 2024, there are some very good songs, which will be remembered. Sabrina Carpenter has brought sunshine back into Pop, with that track Espresso. Fun tracks, like Olivia Rodrigo - Obsessed. I have noticed Pop music has evolved, noticing melancholy style becoming a trend, especially with Taylor Swift and Gracie Abrams. To conclude, you present a great video.
I’m old & find it really interesting how Chapel Roan is evolving Liz Phair’s sound from her self titled album every one shredded Liz for making & making critics lap it up.
Billie Eilish and Sabrina Carpenter and Olivia Rodrigo they are arguably the best Artist in the world, so I don’t understand the hate can somebody please tell me where is all that hate coming from?
people need to stop using nostalgia as a reason to hate new music. ur simply not giving it a chance if ur always comparing it to smth u grew up with. listen to music with a open mind
i prefer old music but that doesn’t mean there aren’t any talented musicians today. chappell roan has PIPES, ariana grande has been hitting whistle notes since 2013 and is still going strong, sabrina carpenter vocals are angelic, idk what everyone’s on about.
@@Jess-y7c i didn’t mean to insult taylor. i meant that it was bad that Flowers by miley cyrus was the number one song that year. i have a lot of respect for taylor and olivia🤩
Exactly Like when Billie Eilish and Olivia Rodrigo and Sabrina say Okay it’s time to go people are gonna feel bad the old people that didn’t appreciate the music Gonna feel bad because they didn’t get the chance to love the music they had
I wish people would stop caring so much about what other people like or dislike. As far as I’m concerned there’s no such thing as bad music. Or bad taste in music. There is music you like, and there is music you don’t like. The fact that someone disagrees with you dosent make them wrong. It just means their taste is different from yours. If you like Sabrina, go listen to Sabrina. If you don’t, go listen to the thing you like. And let people listen to whatever they like without telling them they are somehow wrong for liking it. There is no right or wrong. Just enjoy the thing you like and leave people alone. Please lol
“People don’t make bridges nowadays” … SAY IT ONCE AGAIN WITH FEELING HOW THE DEATH RATTLE BREATHING SILENCED AS THE SOUL WAS LEAVING THE DEFLATION OF OUR DREAMING LEAVING ME BEREFT AND REELING MY BELOVED GHOST AND ME SITTING IN A TREE D-Y-I-N-G thank you for coming to my Ted talk
Your Midas touch on the Chevy door November flush and your flannel cure This dorm was once a mad house I made a joke, “well it’s made for me” How “evergreen” our group of friends Don’t think we’ll say that word again And one day they’ll have the nerve too Deck the halls that we once walked through One for the money, two for the show I never was ready so I watched them go Some times you just don’t know the answer Till someone’s on their knees and ask you She would have made such a lovely bride What a shame she’s stuck in the head, they said But you’ll find the tapestry that I shed
I want auroras and sad prose I wanna watch wisteria grow right over my bare feet ‘Cause I haven’t moved in years And I want you right here A red rose grew up out of ice frozen ground With no one around to tweet it While I bathe in cliffside pools With my calamitous love and insurmountable grief
The women of pop are incredible there talent is way above the charts the way they take their emotions and make beautiful lyricism and music is amazing saying you don’t like there music to be different is so stupid and so normalized it’s so sad
I’m glad that a man is standing up for gen a pop music. Some of it is bad but there are good ones too. I personally don’t watch tiktok at all and I just listen to radio or follow certain artists’ music on UA-cam… but when I hear it, I like it then I put it in my playlist and that’s all. Like Tate McRae’s music is seriously good, and madison beer too
my high school classmates need to see this tbh 4:56 about 5 years ago i was called both of those things almost all the time whenever someone at my school saw my music taste 😭
I like late 2000s to Mid 2010s songs 90% of the time. There are singers like Billie, Sabrina, Chappell, and SZA that make bangers that make me feel like I’m still in the 2010s era! Even singers back then like Lady Gaga are still coming out with new music that still hits!
The people are hating on popstars just because they are blowing up is insane. Like Sabrina for example, has worked nonstop for ten years just to have the success she is just now getting and now she herself is constantly getting hate and is labelled constantly an "industry plant", overrated, etc.
I mean I’m not a Pop h8r! But there needs to be more drums & instruments & not soundboards & synthesizers! Pop sounds now like Hip-Hop/Rap music & I feel a drift from it! Like Sabrina Carpenter, Dua Lipa & Taylor Swift is like the old Pop with instruments!
this is why we love olivia 😋 this is so true tho other artists should also try making pop music with real instruments sometime (i mean this in a super nice way i promise - as someone who does like synths!)
I somewhat agree with the status of current music. One thing about radio and MTV was it exposed us to so many differnt styles and genres, and that isnt the case anymore. I also think the constant search for a #1 is hindering alot of variety. I feel like thats the real issue, lack of GENERALLY available variety.
Chappell Roan is legit one of the most insanely talented singers rn. On a whim I listened to Good Luck Babe, fell in love with it, and then listened to her entire album and literally loved every single song ❤
you know sometimes having less is enough to make a good catchy and charting pop hit sense its easier to digest unlike metal that is one of the examples of genre that has to much going on and has steps you wont remember cause its so intence and to fast sometimes you need the right balance in a song to make it stand out and make it great
as a teenage girl im so glad to see a man standing up for gen z pop. most guys hate it bc they think they r so different and edgy but rly they r just hating for no reason at all. its ok to like older music but they dont need to hate new pop just because they are small minded to js the trending tiktok songs.

I don’t want to be different but gracie abrams music and entire persona is boring. she’s just a copy of lorde/taylor. No originalitity or creativity in her music, she’s not on the same level as chappell or olivia.
3:12 i love modern pop, and old pop. got no fucking idea why people say "oh Olivia Rodrigo has a bad voice" that is just rude and keep your opinion to yourself, her voice is so beautiful. but the thing is, sometimes I do miss the 2010-2014 Bruno Mars era, and those singers sometimes, gives me nostalgia of how far we have came, and it makes me cry.
I’m not a fan of Taylor swift, but I hate it when other people who don’t like her bully the fans or make it there whole personality to hate her.
If the girls weren’t the dominant force in pop music, people wouldn’t been this negative. It’s the same all sh*t we’ve been hearing since forever.
Omg yes i have this sickening feeling 2024 is turning back into the Era where all women get hated on and it’s disgusting
I personally like the 2010s pop SOUND better, but 2020s pop is so deep and lyrically complex. I honestly think that sonically 1989 and reputation were Taylor's best albums SONICALLY, but LYRICALLY folklore and midnights and ttpd are so good! Sabrina's Singular Act I album was so catchy and sonically i'd want to dance to, but it lacked depth compared to emails i cant send and short n sweet. Still short and sweet has amazing catchy songs. Eternal Sunshine unlike the rest of her albums i dont feel like dancing, but it has an unmatched honesty and lyricism.
This is respectful, criticism people learn from this comment
I think Chappell Roan is going to go down in history as a legendary artist. Her vocals are stunning, her songs range from simple and fun to beautiful and sad, her stage presence is phenomenal, and everything about her screams Pop Queen. I think we are going to be talking about Chappell to our grandchildren in the same way our grandparents talk about the Beatles or Elvis
why do people still believe that hating pop music makes them "deep" and "unique"?
My music taste is so over the place so one minute I’m listening to Nirvana and the next it’s Taylor Swift and the next it’s Aayliah and the next it’s indie artists no one ever’s heard of.
this is me as well!
frr ❤
i totally agree, people, no matter what kind of music they make, don’t deserve hate (unless they are an actually bad person). there’s something called an opinion and everyone has it
exactly, why is music such a controversial issue
im a swiftie and my friend doesnt like her songs. but she NEVER shames or puts down Taylor Swift. idk what's going with the ppl now. like its ok if u dont like a singer and share ur opinion on it, but u dont hv to go around making other ppl hate them or talk bad abt them...
The critique that pop music today is bad makes no sense because so much of today’s pop music is influenced by the 80’s and 90’s but lyrically elevated. I think we are in the golden age of pop music, and much of the early 10’s pop, that some people say was peak, has not aged well.
Also, the mixing and production sauce of today is SO exciting. So many advances in music tech from those time to make songs have more depth, clearer balance, and hit harder
i don’t get why people call artists whose music they don’t like talentless. just because they don’t like an artists music doesn’t mean they’re not talented. also these haters think they special for not liking modern music.
hiiii, also sab is so talented like what?💕💕
Yeah she has grown so much over the years and has an amazing voice
“Who was the last big male popstar” conan gray is RIGHT THERE please give him a chance guys 😪
YES OMG!
I LOVE HIM SO MUCHHHHHH
HES INCREDIBLE I LOVE HIM
but I don't think he is at the level of fame as others currently that's why
😔He deserves more tho
my sister introduced me to his music, and i gotta say, man should 100% be more popular.
on another note, said sister is seeing him live tonight.
4:20 last big male pop star is (i guess) harry styles BUT conan gray deserves to be the next hes just less known 😔
@@antkkoz i agree with this!
I’m Olivia Rodrigo’s biggest Fan I’m definitely a OG Fan of Olivia Rodrigo
Taylor Swifts song so long London has an amazing bridge and this is from her most recent album
Thanks for making this video. Idk why ppl hate so much over pop like it’s so good. We all have opinions like I don’t like Taylor swifts music, or chapel roans, but I’m not gonna go make a video about how bad I think they are. I also hate how people say a singer isn’t talented or not have a good voice when they have multiple Grammys, Oscars, won awards for their music or reached top 10 in Spotify. They also don’t stop to think maybe the reason they got those awards was from being talented and having a good voice. And I hate when ppl hate popular songs just cause they’re popular, maybe they’re popular because they’re good.
I literally made a playlist and named it " this is a playlist for all em people who say I only listen to Taylor swift" and it's a full playlist of artists like Halsey, Chappelle roan, Olivia Rodrigo, Britney Spears, Melanie Martinez, Billie eilish and even some smaller like Ruth b., zella day, Madison page, faith Marie, AviVA, ruelle, fleurie, Valerie boussard, Bishop Briggs, Bea Miller, mxmtoon, AURORA and even songs for nostalgia such as Kelly Clarkson, Rihanna, Avril Lavigne, Natasha beddingfield, Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Gwen Stefani, Selena Gomez, Cher Lloyd and p!NK even bewitched and a couple songs my mom played when I was a kid that I really liked such as bleeding love by Leona Lewis, breathe by Anna nalick, and hold on by Wilson Philips, human by Christina Perri and jar of hearts. I just got tired of people thinking my entire music taste was only Taylor swift and that is frowned upon for some reason even her being my top artist and a guy was like " bro all you listen to is Taylor swift" when Sabrina Carpenter would play or Zara Larson and I'm just like uuuuh huh. I still have my Taylor swift stuff on Spotify but like I made a separate playlist and it's profile pic is her with her middle finger trophy.😂
Let me say…. Your music taste is *chef’s kiss*
Seriously! first they hate on the artists who made multiple varieties of success, and then they act like they can do any better. like it’s embarrassing how jealous the are. they could simply say they don’t prefer their music instead of acting like they’re some brainiac on music 😐
Artist doesn't need too win Grammy awards to get our recognition for their success in entertainment industry.
Wow Omar, you really surprise me every time I watch one of your videos. Every time I watch one of your videos I go out without a new knowledge and or a new thought to reflect about. Thank you very much for your presence in this platform and for demonstrating that you know about what you’re talking. Not to mention that your content is very entretaining.
Bye
6:10 so true. espresso and taste is like that for me. waited for it, Listened to, loved it,looped it even before it became popular in tiktok.
Bro I relate to u so much, I love pop music but people always say they listen to rap so I’m glad there’s someone who can appreciate legendary music when they hear it🙂↕️
I get that some people are not a fan of Taylor swift’s music which everyone can have different opinions but calling her a bad singer or not talented is crazy cause she can actually write songs by herself and that takes talent and creativity.
Don't forget that those songs are not just well written they are incrediblely written and paced she is an incredible writter that is a talent it self
4:01 CONAN MENTIONED 🗣‼️
OML I LOVE CONAN SO MUCHHHHHH
And The Exit is one of my favs
@@Vidisha-ti8ur SAME
Honestly we all have different music TASTE (Sabrina❤️) and some people can agree on some things but that doesn’t mean people have to hate on these talented Artists ❤️🫶
7:39 SAME! I remember listening to hot to go, and good luck babe before its massive tik Tok takeover!
I heard Sabrina singing good luck babe and omg it was amazing
@@Sophie.35 nice, I haven’t heard that version yet, but I already know its good because Sabrina is a very talented singer!
This is really good, but not all the people you talked about were saying mean comments, they were just saying their opinion. It’s okay to not love the songs that everyone listens to right now
The last male pop stars that come to mind are Bruno Mars and Shawn Mendes and I’m remembering that was over half a decade ago 💀
Bruno has new music and it's pretty great, but I guess he isn't as popular as he used to be. He moved into more of a retro-inspired sound.
For current male pop stars I'm thinking Conan Gray, Benson Boone and Noah Kahan, although Noah is more indie/folk and Benson is pop/indie/rock influences So idk if you can truly call them "pop stars".
I'd say Ed Sheeran is still going strong.
is the Great War, all too well, out of the woods and wayyyy more non existent to the ppl who say that they can't find amazing bridges, like...
YES EXACTLY
I’m gonna be honest, Olivia, Sabrina, Billie, I love them but their music isn’t my cup of tea. I’m a huge swiftie, my favorites are evermore and folklore which are more my style of music, but I don’t hate pop music. I don’t have many pop songs (other than Taylor’s) in my playlist but if I hear all America bitch play I’m going to dance along. You can like different styles of music and still appreciate pop. I don’t know why that’s so hard for people to understand 😅
Haters probs listen to the songs more than we do tho😂
People say any artist they don't like is an industry plant like......
2:10 “say it once again with feeling how the death rattled breathing silenced as the soul was leaving, the deflation of our dreaming, leaving me bereft and reeling, by beloved ghost and me sitting in a tree D-Y-I-N-G” yep totally all about the beat the lyrics mean nothing. haters are crazyyyy
I am absolutely laughing right now! I remember when Michael Jackson (before the allegations) was criticized for the same thing as Billie Eilish, Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande, and Dua Lipa!
Hating pop music makes me intelligent!
I honestly agree with your words Omar! ♥
how can you say that modern pop lyrics are bad… we have some of the best lyricists right now lol
Personally I'm just thrilled that the charts aren't filled with crappy rap and hip hop garbage lately. 😎
Same, it’s refreshing
This is quite literally the close-mindedness he is talking about. Like, I'm sure you haven't listened to a kanye, kendrick, or Denzel curry album.
@@user-blue4bandits I haven't because I'm really not interested.
@McDevittMike ok, so don't call music you haven't listened to crap then😭🙏
@@user-blue4bandits I don't listen to it, but I can't help but hear it and that's enough for me
😎
There is a REALLY good indie folk artist named Liana Flores, who you might know from rises the moon.
She released a new album named Flower of the Soul, (I have a signed vinyl) and it’s AMAZING.
She seems like she came from the renaissance period with her talents, such as singing, songwriting, speaking 2-4 languages, photography, art, poetry, performing etc.
She NEEDS to be recognized.
Same with any genre, really. Rock, Rap, and Metal. All have their old music glorified.
I am not a huge fan of Sabrina but I cannot deny that Espresso and Taste are bops
What I hate most isn’t that they dislike music, cos that’s subjective. It’s that they spread their hate everywhere, just to spread negativity. It pisses me off.
not liking a music style is okay but going out of your way to say you dont like it just to seem different is dumb
espresso is a perfect song.
as an avid pop not listener, i confirm i think sabrina carpenter and olivia rodrigo are the current pop artists with the most interesting and catchy songs.
shes also not an industry plant, sure i heard her name a couple months ago for the very first time but when i dug into her past shes been trying for years to become better at music and pop off and her hard work paid off
Olivia Rodrigo is the Queen of Lyrics and Melodies 3:21
I am actually a gen z
never give an explanation of something that you enjoy, just enjoy it 💕💕
Benson Boone I feel like is gonna be the new pop guy and Conan gray
0:36 Ironic how when I was a teenager, I said the same thing as her but replaced the music from 2024 with music from the late 2010s [especially 2017 to 2019, even after listening to some good ones too] and said that 2000s and early 2010s music was way better. Thank God I'm not that person anymore cuz overtly-opinionated music review channels ruined my teenhood fr.
I used to be a pop music hater cause everyone els3 was… I wasn’t doing any listening for myself.. thinking it was all bad.. I missed out on my favorite type of music
I will give you a Metallers perspective:
Out of all the music coming out, majority of modern Pop music, the quality has been diluted:
1/ Auto tune and heavy vocal affects.
2/ Music created by PC Software, taking away feeling in music.
3/ Music barely can string 2-3 musical notes together, lacking musical melody.
4/ Mundane repetitive beats and basslines the main drive of a track.
For a Pop song to work, it must focus on the average norm, not towards an acquired taste, not musically advanced, so that means looking towards instant gratifying sounds. A track which provides an addictive hook which repeats in your head till you like it.
There are Pop artists which are fantastic and creative, but don’t make that impact due to money restraints to promote, musically too creative and alternative, don’t follow the trends: Maggie Linderman, Lolo, Florrie, etc
I must accept, there isn’t going to be an Epica or Nightwish in the charts, they are just another level of creativity and too musically involved, for the average norm.
For example, my favourite tracks this year so far:
Symphonic Metal from Finland: Nightwish - The Day Of…
Post Black Metal from Czech: Ánni - Elergy Of Decay
Symphonic Metal from Germany: Leaves’ Eyes - Who Wants To Live Forever
Power Metal from Sweden: Amaranthe - The Catalyst
Out of a lot of unlistenable chart tracks in 2024, there are some very good songs, which will be remembered. Sabrina Carpenter has brought sunshine back into Pop, with that track Espresso. Fun tracks, like Olivia Rodrigo - Obsessed. I have noticed Pop music has evolved, noticing melancholy style becoming a trend, especially with Taylor Swift and Gracie Abrams. To conclude, you present a great video.
I’m old & find it really interesting how Chapel Roan is evolving Liz Phair’s sound from her self titled album every one shredded Liz for making & making critics lap it up.
4:01 FINALLY SOMEBODY MENTIONING CONAN HES SO UNDERRATED AFTER HEATHER AND MANIAC😭 ( 4:19 also Conan is pop but he’s not very popular)
4:20 Benson Boone, hands-down
Billie Eilish and Sabrina Carpenter and Olivia Rodrigo they are arguably the best Artist in the world, so I don’t understand the hate can somebody please tell me where is all that hate coming from?
REAL BILLIE IS SO FUKING GOOD😭😭✋✋
Finally more Livie in this comment section!!
people need to stop using nostalgia as a reason to hate new music. ur simply not giving it a chance if ur always comparing it to smth u grew up with. listen to music with a open mind
I don’t listen to The Weeknd but I don’t think his music is trash it’s just not for me.
i prefer old music but that doesn’t mean there aren’t any talented musicians today. chappell roan has PIPES, ariana grande has been hitting whistle notes since 2013 and is still going strong, sabrina carpenter vocals are angelic, idk what everyone’s on about.
By the way, I’m 22 and I love all kind of music I don’t care if this music is old new I’m just here for fun, Okay 0:35
This guy know how to shut up people I love our videosssss❤❤❤❤❤❤
did everyone forget how awful 2023 was for pop music? 2024 literally resurrected pop music!! why are we complaining????
Agreed! This year has been amazing album after amazing album after amazing album. I’ve been having a GREAT time
@@MimiPabimi I remember 2023 being awesome for pop music the fact that you are insulting Taylor is ridiculous
@@Jess-y7c i didn’t mean to insult taylor. i meant that it was bad that Flowers by miley cyrus was the number one song that year. i have a lot of respect for taylor and olivia🤩
Olivia’s GUTS was awesome
Exactly Like when Billie Eilish and Olivia Rodrigo and Sabrina say Okay it’s time to go people are gonna feel bad the old people that didn’t appreciate the music Gonna feel bad because they didn’t get the chance to love the music they had
i find it SO annoying that everyone is so scared of being labeled as "basic"... it's not a crime ffs
Omar is the best swiftie and livie frrrr
I wish people would stop caring so much about what other people like or dislike. As far as I’m concerned there’s no such thing as bad music. Or bad taste in music. There is music you like, and there is music you don’t like. The fact that someone disagrees with you dosent make them wrong. It just means their taste is different from yours. If you like Sabrina, go listen to Sabrina. If you don’t, go listen to the thing you like. And let people listen to whatever they like without telling them they are somehow wrong for liking it. There is no right or wrong. Just enjoy the thing you like and leave people alone. Please lol
“People don’t make bridges nowadays”
…
SAY IT ONCE AGAIN WITH FEELING
HOW THE DEATH RATTLE BREATHING
SILENCED AS THE SOUL WAS LEAVING
THE DEFLATION OF OUR DREAMING
LEAVING ME BEREFT AND REELING
MY BELOVED GHOST AND ME
SITTING IN A TREE
D-Y-I-N-G
thank you for coming to my Ted talk
Your Midas touch on the Chevy door
November flush and your flannel cure
This dorm was once a mad house
I made a joke, “well it’s made for me”
How “evergreen” our group of friends
Don’t think we’ll say that word again
And one day they’ll have the nerve too
Deck the halls that we once walked through
One for the money, two for the show
I never was ready so I watched them go
Some times you just don’t know the answer
Till someone’s on their knees and ask you
She would have made such a lovely bride
What a shame she’s stuck in the head, they said
But you’ll find the tapestry that I shed
I want auroras and sad prose
I wanna watch wisteria grow right over my bare feet
‘Cause I haven’t moved in years
And I want you right here
A red rose grew up out of ice frozen ground
With no one around to tweet it
While I bathe in cliffside pools
With my calamitous love and insurmountable grief
The women of pop are incredible there talent is way above the charts the way they take their emotions and make beautiful lyricism and music is amazing saying you don’t like there music to be different is so stupid and so normalized it’s so sad
I love your videos, you just speak the truth
I’m glad that a man is standing up for gen a pop music. Some of it is bad but there are good ones too. I personally don’t watch tiktok at all and I just listen to radio or follow certain artists’ music on UA-cam… but when I hear it, I like it then I put it in my playlist and that’s all. Like Tate McRae’s music is seriously good, and madison beer too
my high school classmates need to see this tbh
4:56 about 5 years ago i was called both of those things almost all the time whenever someone at my school saw my music taste 😭
I like late 2000s to Mid 2010s songs 90% of the time. There are singers like Billie, Sabrina, Chappell, and SZA that make bangers that make me feel like I’m still in the 2010s era! Even singers back then like Lady Gaga are still coming out with new music that still hits!
The people are hating on popstars just because they are blowing up is insane. Like Sabrina for example, has worked nonstop for ten years just to have the success she is just now getting and now she herself is constantly getting hate and is labelled constantly an "industry plant", overrated, etc.
I mean I’m not a Pop h8r! But there needs to be more drums & instruments & not soundboards & synthesizers! Pop sounds now like Hip-Hop/Rap music & I feel a drift from it! Like Sabrina Carpenter, Dua Lipa & Taylor Swift is like the old Pop with instruments!
Omgg I love songs with lots of drums! This is such a good take. Olivia Rodrigo has prominent drums if you want to hear it
this is why we love olivia 😋 this is so true tho other artists should also try making pop music with real instruments sometime (i mean this in a super nice way i promise - as someone who does like synths!)
happy you posted again! We love you, Omar! :) ♥🌸✨
I somewhat agree with the status of current music. One thing about radio and MTV was it exposed us to so many differnt styles and genres, and that isnt the case anymore. I also think the constant search for a #1 is hindering alot of variety.
I feel like thats the real issue, lack of GENERALLY available variety.
Chappell Roan is legit one of the most insanely talented singers rn. On a whim I listened to Good Luck Babe, fell in love with it, and then listened to her entire album and literally loved every single song ❤
By the way, I’m 22 and I love all kind of music I don’t care if this music is old new I’m just here for fun, Okay
yeah i found sabrina by tik tok and then found all because I liked a boy which is one of my most listen to songs
Check out sue me or tell em' by Sabrina
because sabrina reinvented her whole aesthetic, people forget how long she's been in the industry.
you know sometimes having less is enough to make a good catchy and charting pop hit sense its easier to digest unlike metal that is one of the examples of genre that has to much going on and has steps you wont remember cause its so intence and to fast sometimes you need the right balance in a song to make it stand out and make it great
I have a proposal… inside out three is nostalgia taking over… and Riley is just a back in my day beech
I mean just listen to whoever you vibe with !
There’s plenty of artists out there .
Art is interpretation. We all experience it differently.
What about Benson Boone? You should listen to his latest album called "Fireworks & Rollerblades"❤
