Why don't songs do key changes anymore?

The algorithm determined that key changes in songs make on average 15% less money so theyโ€™re not allowed by record labels.

Listening to music with key changes requires more of an attention span than zoomers have. They donโ€™t care how monotonous music is as long as it has a trap beat under it.

Why don't people just put key changes in the middle of the verse? Or between the intro and the verse? A shit ton of songs used to do that. It has nothing to do with attention span

key changes are honestly a cheap effect that makes the song sound like a stick driven car changing gears, used most often to a higher key to make it sound 'uplifting'

Love those, I also love downward key changes.
Does anyone know any good microtonal key changes that aren't using wacky microtonal invertals in the whole song. Just as a key change, I'm curious if that's much of a thing?

They aren't, though. A key traditionally implies tonal functionality: dominant-tonic relationships, functional progressions, voice-leading, modulation, etc.
Modern popular music has almost entirely abandoned this in favor of
>looped static chord progressions with no real tension or release
>riffs
>beats
>texture
>production
...that is, if you're not fucking deaf and actually understand anything about music.

Because music has shifted away from melody to atmosphere, vibe, production.
Tunes are now simplistic and they tend to echo some melodic progression from previous decades, but the focus is mostly on layering complexity, vocal gimmicks (whispery phrasing, autotune), playing recognisable motifs from the past to give the audience an aesthetic gotcha

Are you talking about when a song goes up a key for the last chorus? Because that sounds gay. It makes songs sound like Disney music.
