Really good.
Lyrics are nice, just like his accent :~).
Pretty much the stuff I'm used to listen.
Pretty² relaxing tune, all in all.

I'm surprised to see Galaxy back, but am hoping for good things, since I recognise the lack of fun and new interesting things to do in this org. I'll try and hop on irc, no promises I can however atm. Welcome the new guys (heyyyy arctic) and thanks for joining the alliance !
Heyo, thanks.
Welcome back, btw.

I don't have the widest taste of music and neither do I have the thinnest. These statements by me are subject to opinion. I will also be thinking of silento's watch me whip this whole time
So I have 3 main reasons why I hate pop dance, and just pop in general.
1. Repeated and meaningless lyrics
2. No actual skill involved in making said music
3. Mediocre recordings turned good by technology
At a young age, it's pretty unheard of to hear of a teenager around my area to not like this kind of music, but I understand why it's likeable. The lyrics are supposed to be meaningless because it's a dance song. You dance to it, not listen to it on your couch while playing a game or something. The beat was catchy and made on a computer to make it popular and easy to whip up.
But I feel music (and music in general) is losing its human element. You have autotune, timeline drums, samples and all that (unless the samples are used in accapella). I enjoy music that is mostly based around the person's skill because I know for a fact they took time writing their guitar solo, their lyrics, etc etc. this is also why I listen to a lot of metal, particularly progressive metal. Hearing the vocal tone change and knowing they didn't use autotune blows my mind.
There's a huge "sponsor" of the media, too.
You can find them everywhere, wheter you want to or not. They are on the radio and TV all the time.
Lyrics are silly and catchy, autotune making their quality "acceptable", etc.
Indeed, most of the Pop stuff is terrible.
I like Indie Pop, but there's a big, noticeable, difference between them.

If it doesn't work, ill go on my computer and do it there.
Well, to be honest, I didn't like it that much. :/
I feel like I've listened to this before. His voice sounds like Bruno Mars', for me, lol.
Anyways, that's not really the kind of stuff I enjoy. sry
Wellll, my turn.
I've been browsing and quickly scrolling through some of the other pages in this org. and I've seen Skylar posting LCD Soundsystem's "All My Friends" some time ago. It's an awesome song. The intro is quite long, but, for some reason, that repetitive bass keeps me entertained. The lyrics, the chorus, everything is just great.
But, I'm not posting the same song, obviously.
Here, have another pretty lovable LCD Soundsystem song:
It's one of their best, honestly. Great lyrics, same weird, trippy, repetitive "techno" tune and that '80s mood.
They don't have many songs and not all of them have the same feeling, but, this was the one that made me discover LCD Soundsystem.
Another one:
I don't even know how to describe it.
