Reply to comment by LeoIunti in Max Martin is a Swedish producer that has written all the nauseating top of the pop hits for mediocre corporate pop music 'artitsts' .. How are we allowing this? Do we just not care about quality anymore, just money? by TheHeavyMetalCouncil
They're songs that are on the radio everywhere you go, where you shop, at work, on tv, in films.. it's a total disgrace and you may have the gift of being blissfully unaffected by this ill but it's totally nauseating to me and it's lowered my quality of life. it's lowered the IQ of people I have to interact with in my daily life. This is a global societal ill and it's making music in general lower in standards. Familiarity and repetitiveness stagnates music culture and its normal evolution. Say goodbye to masterpieces in the near future. it'll all be factory slop for zombified lemming minds.. You're already halfway there

They're ubiquitous, they're at the grocery store, at the dentist, on tv shows, on advertising. His songs have permeated the minds of people I interact with. It's a nightmare

There's a lot of great power pop and punk coming out of Melbourne.

Nashville is having a resurgence of a whole new stripe, no longer a country town, everyone is there from country to metal from billy gibbons to joe bonamassa to Vince Neil to Vince gill and thats not even counting east Nashville and Franklin.. etc.

His songs are fine, and you don’t have to listen to shit.

Stillwater Oklahoma has been the starting point for a lot of great Red Dirt and Americana bands. Muscle Shoals Alabama too, in a slightly different sort of way.

Austin is having a cool surge in genuinely good, unique country that is separating itself from pop country and the formulaic garbage that’s been coming out of Nashville the last decade or so

With respect, New Orleans has always been a place where arts and cultures mixed, and will continue to be.

More fear mongering and popphobia on this subreddit? Did we really need more of that?
Besides, all of these “modern music bad” people don’t seem to realize that Max is actually a bit more versatile than they give him credit for. And, no, he has not written ALL of the top hits of the last few decades. Just a good handful of them.
Not only that, but he’s been slowing down a bit in recent years. He’s recently worked with Coldplay and The Weeknd, but not really much else since 2022. This may shock you, but there are other producers in the mainstream.

“heaven or las vegas” (the actual title track) is upbeat yes, but also very dreamy and relaxing in a happy way i think!
edit because of spelling.

I don't care for his work but he's very good at what he does. If it puts your mind at ease, pretty soon AI will be a thing and they won't even use humans to craft successful pop music formulas. Then you can just hate programmers.

Perhaps the grunge explosion in Seattle early 90s was the last one.

Yeah, his work is super-popular because a lot of people like it! I don’t, but I also don’t bitch online when a song I don’t like plays at the drugstore.
