Dati, konti lang ang may access sa kakaibang music, at the same time, maraming mga banda ang nakaka-discover ng uncharted territories.

Ngayon naman, the other way around na. Dahil sa dami ng napapakinggan natin at sa access natin sa lahat ng music, nagiging mas discerning tayo as listeners, kaya parang nagmumukhang magkapareho ang mga tugtog nila.

I get rashes on my testicles whenever I hear music that's unoriginal & mediocre, so you can't blame me for being a hater.

:lol: stay away from a good number of fm stations, for your testicles' well-being.

it's difficult to escape listening to the latest superhit mediocrity when everyone around you can't get enough of it. we can't  ask fx/jeep drivers to switch off love radio and play emerson lake and palmer instead. not all of us can afford ipods, either. i can't help but sympathize with people that rant about bad music being shoved down their throat.

i think most popular artists lack that creativity... but its not so bad... at least i dont have to listen to unpopular bands and their lack of creativity - i am sure there is a greater number of them out there (i do make songs that arent creative too btw, hehe).

the thing is, MOST ppl lack creativity... from politics, to business, to relationships to movies to school and to music...

Back to regular programming...

"Creativity" is subjective. Our creativity is only limited by the number, depth and breadth of our artistic tools and knowledge. I think the real question here is do they want to move on forward and pick up more knowledge so that they'd be able to come up with something fresh?

Agree. Invent some vague genre, mish-mash this with this, and probably invent some [strawberry] killer music instrument. May tunog/ingay pa ba sa mundo na hindi naisisilang? I think as long as there are people seekingfor innovation as purpose then there would be fresher music to come. Think of the Herbie Hancocks and the Bjorks and those with pioneering musical ideas.  :-D

para sagutin ang tanong, oo. kulang, at hindi WALANG creativity.

optimistik ako sa music scene. kung nakukulangan man tayo ng creativity mula sa ibang musicians, nasa kanila naman ang lahat ng pagkakataon para i-improve ang craft. kaya nga sila sumusulat at nagkokompows para matuto at umayos. sana nga ganun ang takbo ng utak nila, at hindi para sa salapi at kasikatan lang. hehe.

ako i think hindi naman sa walang creativity. anong malay natin kung first time sumulat nung artist ng ganong kanta,... nagkataon ang alam lang nya talaga basic chords pero maganda talaga yung melody.... nagiging uncreative lang naman sila para sa listeners na medyo malawak ung influences o kaya minsan malalim. di rin natin maaalis na the best melodies are sometimes created over the simplest chord patterns. in any case they did come up with a song.

di rin naman natin masisisi na ung mas malaking part ng listening population eh mas gusto ung mga simpleng kanta kaisa sa mga "alternative" tunes na alam ng karamihan satin dito sa forums natin. kaya medyo minsan talo talo na para sa mga "popular" bands...  :-D

i am a filipino living in america. a few months ago, i thought id go and listen to some songs that are popular in the philippines. i was greatly disapointed because EVERY SINGLE BAND/SINGER/SINGER i've heard of so far is so westernized and "americanized" and no offense but they don't do a very good job at it. i give my respect to those who are still singing in tagalog but the music is just so bad...i personally think that the main stream audience of the philippines call for western sounding music, music that is popular in the US (my chemical romance and bands similar to them, kelly clarkson(?) and singers similar to her), and that's exactly what they get back, except that the bandmates and singers are filipino which makes it ""OPM", which to my understand stands for original pilipino music, which i don't think makes sense at all because it sounds exactly the same as american music and lyrics but sometimes in tagalog.

i'm just glad that there is one band out there that distinguishes themselves from the popular music in the philippines these days: pinikpikan. they incorporate traditional filipino music with electric guitars and bass and drums, it's pretty cool. it's better than any of the bands or singers on this forum that i'm aware of. now they are truly "OPM". but that's just my opinion. to each it's own...
Title: Re: do you agree that most "popular" artists today lack CREATIVITY?
Post by: thinkfloyd on February 11, 2007, 08:37:00 PM
Original Pilipino Music, yep Pinikpikan has it down pat. But as for the other bands? They are creative, save for those who steal from other foreign acts, you know who they are. Who is to judge anyway what's truly creative? All music is derived from one form or another. Whether it be primal grunts or beats inspired by nature itself. Name one band you think is truly creative, and I guarantee you, you'll find some other band or act who came first and sounds just like them. To be influenced is not bad, it's those who steal 2/3 of a song's parts that are guilty. As for 3-chord songs? You feel it's not creative? Look at BB King, he plays a single note for an entire solo, yet it blows the competition away. Creativity is relative. Listen to 'More Human Than Human' by White Zombie, you think it had a flotilla of chords? I believe it has less than two chords. Maybe even one. Point here is, the problem with those who think creativity is lax today probably just don't get it. People didn't get Van Gogh in his time, so was Bach... so who's to say really? Peace! :mrgreen:

That song may have less than 5 chords on it but they're used very effectively so it sounds crushing AND grooving at the same time.  Even the part where J Yuenger uses the slide bar, which is commonly used in Country & Blues, also fits perfectly. I like that song & I'll choose it anytime over any other song with more chords but sounds boring. The point here is that you can use the same old time-tested chord progressions on any song over & over again, but it's up to you to make it sound fresh.

Point here is, the problem with those who think creativity is lax today probably just don't get it. People didn't get Van Gogh in his time, so was Bach... so who's to say really? Peace! :mrgreen:
Wow, did Van Gogh & Bach just got compared to these slew of untalented, pop-rock-cover-quasi boybands that are popular today?

Post by: ninejuicyjulius on February 12, 2007, 11:42:11 AM
ayan. napupunta ang ating usapan naman ngayon sa originality. ayos. hehe.

sa palagay ko, tayo ay nabubuhay na sa isang postmodernist world kung saan malabo na ang konseptong orihinal. kumbaga, tayo ay patuloy na nagrerepackage na lamang ng mga bagay na nagawa na sa nakalipas na 'orihinal' din. nagdadagdag. nagbabawas. at ang nagiging produkto nito ay tinuturing na nating "orihinal." pero orihinal nga ba?

depende rin kasi sa pakahulugan ng salitang 'orihinal'. at sa pagtingin ko sa salitang orihinal, ang orihinal ay puro. walang bahid ng impluwensiya mula sa isa pang hiwalay na likha. kaya gamit ang depinisyon na ito ng orihinal, sa palagay ko, wala nang orihinal talaga.

ang pagkaangkla rin ng OPM sa kanluraning impluwensiya ay hindi maiiwasan dahil unang una, sa mga instrumento pa lang na ginagamit, kanluraning impluwensiya na. mga gitara, tambol, synthesizer, at kung anu ano pa. siguro kung nasabayan nating naimbento ang electric kulintang sa electric guitar ng kanluran, malamang 'orihinal' tayo. (hehe, jowk lang.) tapos nandiyan pa ang konseptong Post Colonialist perspective, na hindi ko na tatalakayin dito dahil malamang murahin niya na ako. hehe.

pero kahit nga ang kulintang ay nate-trace ang roots mula sa mga instrumentong mero din sa mga karatig bansa natin sa Asya.

ayun.

PS
malupet talaga ang Pinikpikan. ay lab Carol Bello so mats. hehe. nagtuturo ata siya ng Music in Film sa UP Film Institute.

agree ako coz most of the audience or not musicians dont have a deep understanding sa mga music gaya ng prog.rock fusion etc. so this pop bands, their thinking of all this individuals para makarelate naman & maentertain sila, minsan nga namimisinterpret natin ang mga pop bands..... naiisip natin minsan chessy , corny or baduy di ba...pero hirap maging pop diba...heheheh....hanga din ako sa mga pop bands. coz theyre truly an entertainer...GodBless

I'm saddened by the fact that Pinikpikan's not active nowadays. Their quirky or i must say innovative cohesion of indigenous music with art rock, funk, drum n bass, disharmonic to uncanny arrangements, militant beats and Carol Belo's airy but full-blown vocals - are one of the strongest suits that makes OPM - a wordclass movement. Same goes with Up Dharma down, apparently dishing out something that's unclassifiable, and for crying out loud - music cerebrals can trace some of its strains, from the jazz-fusion experminents of Miles Davis and Herbie Hancock, from an apparent soulful vocals that recalls Janis Joplin, Aretha Franklin and maybe Lauryn Hill, from heap-influences from vague electo-pop acts like Photek and Massive Attack, and maybe, just maybe -- a dose of pinoy sensibility which doesn't sacrifice pop music audiences. And of course, a third motion for chopsuey pioneers The Eraserheads (that's no question), atmospheric electro-rock acts Skies of Ember and Sheila and the Insects, and indie acts like Outerhope are a breath of fresh air the music industry badly wants. Actually there are alot of promising OPM acts with a lot of creative stingers, di lang masyado napapansin. Go scour Myspace, attend gigs and do a little research - marami jan. The only problem not only with OPM but with the entire music movement across the globe is through the process of seeking into new ideas and music concepts, ung tipong mga tunog na di pa nadidiskubre. Siguro madali na lang iyon, but I'm hoping that more and more people would set the grounds for discovering fresh new music.

i am way ahead of you. i've already spent days searching myspace and have done my research. i am going back to the philippines in june and when i get there, i will collaborate with local music producers and together we will change the definition of OPM. my concept is really simple but i know the process won't be as easy. lol. ok, here i go....

i may have big dreams but dreams are possible. i have a dream that one day gongs and synthesizers will one day coexist. that tribal chanting and your typical asian songbird will create a melody so beautiful to the ears that it will make you cry. that electric guitars and the kubing will together create a riff so catchy, every guitarist will want to find the tabs for it. that the dabakang and drums will create a beat that will give you chills for our ancestors live through it. the lyrics of these songs will be as rich as the soil for the rice that feeds us all. i call for a cultural revolution!

call me crazy or join me, i really don't care. this will happen.

i disagree.. well, we can't hide it na may ibang bands na nanggagaya lang.. but yung maganda sa opm is that ang dadaming styles of music na hinahalo nila. kaya ang dami daming nadidiscover na mga banda. people don't look for bands that have only one style. kung ganun yung case, eh di masasawa tayo dun at malalaos sila at hindi na "popular". tingnan niyo yung Bamboo. hinahalo nila yung rock, funk, pati kaunting jazz. they're creative for me. and look, they're now very popular.. :-D
Correct! Yung ibang post nalalayo sa topic eh. :wink:

The thing in pop music is that, you know, you're ripping off as many people as you possibly can. And the trick is to listen to the right people. -damon albarn

Define Creative.

Halos creative lahat ng mga "popular" artists ngayon. Kailangan lang madiscover ng mga tao.

di naman ata coz rami pop artsist are creative,talented at galing sa projections pro sa kagandahan ng melody ng songs nila, minsan lyrics, nababrand sila na mainstream artsist and so  rami tao talaga na nagiisip na kung mainstream yung songs mo di ka magaling coz yun ang notion nila sa mainstream artist at mainstream songs

not all songs that are considered mainstream lack creativity. nagkataon lang na nagustuhan siya ng tao, so nangyari yung mga hanep na music videos, matagal sila sa mga hit charts sa radios or tv shows like myx, and overplayed din siya. in other cases naman, naaawa ako sa mga taong may gusto sa kanila kasi sa isang  song lang sila na captivate, tapos pagtingin naman sa band, hindi masyadong magaling. the fans like the song because of its catchy chorus or excessive play time, but sometimes they have to analyze the artist and the music they play. so iba may skill, iba wala masyado. but hey, there's still time to improve :-)
