Note: This thread isn't specific to trance - it's concerned more with "top 40" kind of music. It's not what a Trancefixer would usually hear, but it could lead to an interesting discussion.
About three weeks ago, a new trap song rapidly went viral on the Internet. I'm talking about Lisa - Lalisa, which has amassed 233 million views since then. If you pay attention to it (as a trancefixer would for any trance track), you will quickly notice that it's just... devoid of any musicality. It's repetitive, shallow, annoying, and just in general badly produced/mixed. On the reddit thread for it, someone pointed out that parts of the song and choreography were clearly made for a TikTok trend. Lo and behold,
Not to sound like @Daysleeper, but is this what the future of popular music holds? A race to the bottom to get that ad revenue on TikTok?
p.s. if you did hear Lalisa, you can wash your ears with actual good pop, like Taylor Swift's the last great american dynasty from last year.
