Why the lack of cool music in modern cartoons? In Japan, studios hire musicians to make openings, endings and the soundtrack. They even release the music of their shows. Why this don't happen in America? Action cartoons have generic "action" music but not iconic songs. Comedies have nothing but silly songs. Good music can change everything. I can only think in two modern examples:
Remember the fight between Garnet and Jasper in Steven Universe? The animation and the choreography were shit but the song turned it into the peak of the show. People loved it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6OWq38TikzU

Another example is Teen Titans Go and The Night Begins to Shine. People hate TTG but love that special because of the songs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bvg3dcZ_33w

Why can't we have this kind of good music more often?

>crew is full of people that grew up in the 80s and like to reference it constantly
>NBTS is the show's most popular episodes
>Even most of the people that hate the show like it
>the band is real and loves working on the show
It was supposed to get a spinoff but I guess Zaslav killed it.

>>149039622
Are you telling me big companies like WB and Disney can't hire a band at least one time per show for a "hype" moment?

The American music industry literally imploded on itself. Bands, artist, singers, producers, song writers, musicians, DJ's, radio stations, dancers, even the fucking janitors who cleaned up after a concert got greedy as fuck. It got to the point where our own movies and shows are banned for us because someone who's closely related to Michal Jackson's 4th cousin step brother's niece twice removed friend who hummed 2 notes of a different song at a wedding in the 70's. To put it simply, we just can't have music in stuff anymore.

If you want music and songs in your stuff you either have to make your own or pay an arm and a leg just to get 5 notes to be played. That's why you see nothing but indie music and soundcloud stuff. All this stuff is done in house. And even if you could pay, things change too often like copyrights that'll force you to either remove the song down the line or ban the show/movie/game entirely. This entanglement just isn't worth the effort for any up and coming creator.

So your examples aren't the same as using some famous bans like Japan. Their music industry is a thousand times better off than ours.

Japan hasn't hired musicians to make openings, endings and the soundtrack since Richard Stone's death (aka they last musicians they hired, everything after that were just background diddly stuff since everything is post sync), but if you want good cartoon music please look at this YouTuber channel, it's the golds standard.

Thats not why Mother 3 is Japan only, it's The Magypsies (racist stereotype of trans people) as to why Mother 3 is Japan only.

Nobody cared about trannies before the late 2010s though

It's not just cartoons.
It's shows in general. They just don't have theme songs anymore. Gotta make more time for commercials. Once the theme songs go, the rest of the soundtrack eventually follows.

>>149041262
But it kept Mother 3 from seeing a western release.

The best track of any action cartoon of the last decade https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=klWCNxdHvas

It's great but it wouldn't work in an action cartoon

>>149041337
Yes it would' it's mother fucking powerhouse, it works on everything.

>>149039504 (OP)
Supporting your point is that the one thing other than porn or like, some weird kind of desire to stay with it until it died out of regret, that had people keep paying attention to RWBY was the music which was great even when you had entire tracks were devoted to being thinly veiled sour grapes and seething over how they were bleeding money and people hated what they'd done to the show at that point.

YES THEY ARE!!! Powerhouse is the gold slandered for cartoon music and nothing will ever change that.
