These days, nothing that comes on the radio sounds "new" to me.
Nothing is exceptionally mind-blowingly (yes, I just created that word)
original (except for Ed Sheeran, he is the god of music). I'm not
bashing pop artists of today by any means. I still listen to those
stations baring generic tune after generic tune and I acknowledge that
there are only so many notes in the scale, only so many chord
progressions, and so songs are often bound to sound similar.
However, many artists are protective of their work, and get at each others' throats metaphorically for "copying" their songs. For example, click here for a long list of songs that are essentially the same. Robin Thicke recently got into some trouble for his song "Blurred Lines" which sounds exactly like Marvin Gaye's "Got To Give It Up," and he actually got in trouble for it. I'm fine with that because "Blurred Lines" is pretty terrible. If by some cosmic freak incident Robin Thicke is reading this, no offense, man.
Anyways, recently I discovered how much of a genius Taylor Swift truly is. While listening to her new album, I realized that two of the tracks, "Bad Blood" and "Wonderland," sound the exact same during certain parts. She has discovered how to copy other music! Just copy your own and tweak it slightly! I mean what is she going to do, sue herself? Yeah, didn't think so. Anyway, listen for yourself.
