Why don't songs do key changes anymore?

why do zoomers continue to spam frog and Wojak OPs on /mu/ every day?

Sorry I bumped off kpop thread #9001 I guess?

because autism is treatable now.

That dumb nerd shit is for people rightward of the bell curve.

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

>>127102849 (OP)
Listening to music with key changes requires more of an attention span than zoomers have. They don’t care how monotonous music is as long as it has a trap beat under it.

>>127103681
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

>>127103642
Surely the -2 sigma and +2 sigma love it, though?

>>127103705
Can you give 10 examples?

Travis Scott - SICKO MODE

>>127102849 (OP)
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'

>>127104242
I usually love key changes but the half step up key changes in the final choruses of 70s pop songs drives me up the bloody wall

Not all, I mean the pop your mum would listen to with the boring tv performances, I can't name anything right now off the top of my head but I know it exists

>>127104255
mid song key changes tho

>>127104349
>>127104275
ffs I'm retarded thought you replied to me

>>127104359
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?

>>127104475
That is not much of a thing.

>>127104586
Damn...

>>127102849 (OP)
they do, in kpop
listen to Nmixx or NCT

I like the augmented fourth modulation

Songs aren't "in keys" anymore.

>>127105581
They are though

>>127105650
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.

Would you count this track as "changing key track"?

who are you quoting?

>>127102858
Zoomers don't come on 4chan, they go to dischird and twitch.
We are all 30+ boomers here

>>127102849 (OP)
Because modulation is hacky, all the big producers told me so on their podcasts

>>127102849 (OP)
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

It's pointless

I fucking hate the constant whispery vocals how big was in pop before Billie Ellish? Is it her fault for most of it

thank you, english man

>>127102849 (OP)
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.
