From a labour perspective I agree. From an artistic standpoint not so much. I was mucking around making random beats in fruity loops when I was twelve and there weren’t even any tutorials.

I’m referring to the mass-produced crap I hear when I get a random ride. Obviously pop music can have artistic intent, but I feel like that’s a small minority.

Not to defend this garbage, but is radio pop music really distinguishable from ai slop?

People who actually care about music are not the target audience here.
