agree ba kayo na malaki-laki na rin ang pinagbago ng pop music (in general) ngayon compared a few decades ago?
personally mas gusto ko yung noon, lyrics-wise. sa "wholesomeness" din ng music videos (madami na rin akong nakikitang music vids ngayon na mapapa- talaga eh).
kayo, ano masasabi ninyo?
first up, i'd like to think that our personal points of view and preferences vary through time because of many factors...it could be the influence of radio stations, influence of our peers, influence of bandmates, trend settings and dynamics, our country being the melting pot, etcetera etcetera...
nagiba yung pananaw natin sa maganda at hinde pero may mga times na pag tinigtnan mo halos parehas lang naman yung sinasabi nila, it's just based on how you perceive the context...
say beiber, "parang" aaron carter sya sakin in some ways...of course some will disagree about that...one reason is the "hyped disgust" brought about by media and environment...pero bakit nga ba?...syempre mas kyut kasi si aaron carter...
plus the fact na kapatid sya ni nick na sobrang hyped din ang pagka pop...
regarding the wholesomeness of videos, i'm trying to watch those vids of steps, venga boys, backstreet...yup there's the wholesomeness, but still there's this hint of subtleties into it...be it sexual and greed and the likes...but yep in some way "mas mild" yung dati...
and regarding the "Filipinoism"
of the pop songs, ang gets ko dun e mas madaming orginal na OPM po na pinapatugtog noon...yes, mostly original...not covers, not acoustic pop covers...nacocover lang dati yung mga ibang kanta pag laos na or ginagamit sa movies or patay na yung original artist...ngayon hindi pa patay yung artist at sobrang sikat pa sa radyo yung kanta may limang (acoustic) covers na...tapos may tribute na...
Kaya kahit anong mangyari, kung pinoy pop, idol ko parin mga kanta nina Roselle Nava, Gary (V, G, L, ect), Tootsie Guevarra, April Boys, April Boy Regino, NeoColours, J brothers, Rockstar, yung iba pang nauna sakanila syempre...syempre mas idol yung mga gumawa ng kanta nila., as we know generally pop songs are not written by the interpreter themselves...hindi sila sumikat kung hindi natin sila pinasikat...wag mong sabihing kadiri yung mga kanta nila kung may alam kang isang linya ng kanta nila...
