I didn't say it was great. It's got a good hook, it's catchy. It's a pop song.
If you a actually LISTEN ..pop music, musically speaking...is more complex than its ever been. Because it's so easy to make music now. You can make 32 track music on your laptop. 15 years ago, you had to rent an
Exorbitantly expensive studio to do that.
Music is more than guitar parts that are hard to play.
I agree pop songs today are pretty fucking amazing considering the shit that was floating around post motown era.
They go beyond being just catchy and have an element of truly interesting shit.
However just because a song is popular doesnt mean its true pop.
There needs to be an element of catchyness, based on gimmicky novelty.
For the record I think this is the best pop song of the decade.
