Reply to Good depresing and bleak war songs by YaBoiMibb

Iron Maiden - paschendale (ww1) and longest day (ww2, specifically Normandy beach landing).

Both are chilling and epic looks into specific battles and moments in each war. Incredible song writing.

> Edit: But one problem is that the algorithms only show to you what they think that you want to see. So if you do not diversify your musical input, you do not even see the content that exists, that others watch.

This is the crux of my objections. Too much decision making is left to machines for my comfort. A great band that would be getting positive word of mouth from a good show may never see the light of day in an AI-dominated world for reasons often obscure to the end user.

I like opera but . . . I only half agree with your ending statement.

There are some people who are breathy and crooning and it works. IT's a choice and that make it work and it genuinely sounds good.

But if every song you make is a mumbled, washed out, formulated hipster rerun of what you've already done a dozen times I'm sick of it.

Lady Gaga is overrated ( a terrible person as well ) . . .

Every choir has around 3 girls who sound somewhere inbetween Gaga - Lea Michelle and Demi Lovato and they don't have the largest difference between their voices as is anyway. ( The only thing that makes her special isn't so much being special it's just she has good technique? )

and she is a highly questionable / bad lyricist.

People who like " The Vocal Trinity " ( Mariah - Celine - Whitney Houston )

They don't actually like or enjoy music as much as they like to argue that their favorite singer is better than yours.

Is that relevant? Usually it’s just a clip- but the option to find the song and hear the whole thing is always there, if you care enough.

One impact social media has had that is fairly new is the song made for social media. What I mean is songs that have maybe as much as 40 seconds of actual song. Regardless of how long the full thing is, you’ll have heard everything the song has to give you in less than a minute. There’s a lot more of that these days. But that’s not really what you asked in the first place.

It is an amazing cover and song . . . but . . .

Florence + The Machine - " I Don't Wanna Know ( Mario Winan ) "

Florence + the Machine - " Oh Darling ( The Beatles ) "

KIMBRA - " Plain Gold Ring " ( Nina Simone )

Annie Lennox - " Under Pressure " ( Queen x Bowie )

Aretha Franklin - " Natural Woman " ( Carole King )

I mean . . . it has some competition. More than I could name.

50/50.

50% no. Looking at the bigger picture, it brings new fans to the artist. Thus the artist continues to grow and vice versa. The more you get, the more you grow as an artist. That will always be a big plus.

50% yes. While there may be some songs used in a terribly made meme or however the song was included, the artist ends up being only known as x viral song was used in meme haha or just a one hit wonder than fades into obscurity.
