Take for instance alot of "indie" music today:
The music is built upon heavy use of sythesizers and continuous, repeating guitars chords, producing a very "melted" together if you will sound that I almost like to describe and liken to that of the juices from a nice steak swirling around your mouth. It's that similar effect, except in your head. I've noticed that it's almost a standard style these days, almost sounding the same throughout music. Now I wonder, is such an overuse and exploitation of such a style shallow, especially when its so similar sounding across multiple bands? Frankly such repetition while can be well orchestrated I think is kinda shallow and sometimes shows a lack in musical skill even though we tend to like it. I do like the melting effect in all it's greatness, but I mean come on let's change up the notes a bit instead of repeating the same damn note 20+ times. It seems Cold Play especially has resorted to this kind of musical make up, but I do understand it's been around since the 80s as well. Then again though, good music in general does really take you somewhere else. LOL I'm surprised the "authority" that is the Church hasn't condemned music for being "hallucinetic" even though they use music in the same fashion to create a feeling of "transcendence" when at a church service or w/e.
