This is an amazing example of how stupid this situation is:

They're mostly focusing on pitch. They're not focusing on rhythm. They're not focusing on timbre. They're focusing on a series of notes. You are INCREDIBLY limited in what you can do with those notes. Not to mention the whole step/ half step pattern.

Edit: I know this is random, but one of my instructors was a backup singer for Katie Perry, and she sucked. If you can find an Asian man with a bald head doing a head bob in the background of Katie Perry concert, I'll give you 10+ points. He also sounds 10× better than her, lmao.

It's worse man.

Axis of Awesome has a song called "Four Chord Song" where they show that essentially every pop song is just four chords.

Four fucking chords.

Your paying for lyrics.

So first, music isn't just chords. Second, there's only so many combinations that actually sound good. There's a whole field of music theory around this. Chord progressions kind of set the tone of the song. Different countries actually have different favored progressions - it's kind of interesting.

You should look into it. Because it sounds like you're just mad at how music works.

at least synthesizers actually produce things that don't sound like a stupid piano or guitar.

I'm curious what the difference between a piano and a stupid piano is in your mind

[–] desktop_user@lemmy.blahaj.zone -1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

a piano is an object that uses hammers to strike fibers and induce vibrations in air, a stupid piano is one that performs in a way that is considered "tuned".

So it's not stupid if it's out of tune?
