Madonna, Maroon 5, Lady Gaga, Queen All Put To Shame, Bitcoin Has Become Pop Music.
Pop music is perhaps the easiest one to make. While big names like Queen would hate us for saying this, critics would disagree, fans would ambush, we still mean it.
Pop music has to have mass appeal, it has to appeal to a big audience, in no time, becoming a shitty little piece of an earworm, played at all the malls, at all the clubs, at all the house parties, at all the waiting areas, on the radio, on the podcast and in your head 24/7.
If music is not earwormy enough is it still pop music? This is what makes pop genuinely pop. The popular choice, musicians put in a lot of effort in making this happen. We have all seen the Bohemian Rhapsody afterall, the audience loves surprise, but in a familiarly obscure way, they love feeling accepted, taken care for, loved, rich and boujee. This is what pop music is all about.
Music helps in catharsis. It is like religion for some, others love taking long drags with only and only their best music playlist, every celebrity we know has their favorite tune, a guilty pleasures playlist and a jam that they can not stop loving.
With the growing esteem needs that bitcoin fulfills, it casts quite a similar impression on the user. Consuming bitcoin has become hip, it has become popular, it has become cathartic and it has been a mass effect making it a mass consumed item, this has made bitcoin a form of pop music.
Not so hard to produce and oh so hard to produce at the same time, fun and quirky but we are listening to a little too much of it, a little too loud, a little too everywhere now a days, and folks need to tone it down!
Whether it is about winning the breakup, thinking of doing something new, the taste of freedom, all i want for Christmas, or the greatest show tunes of the past, bitcoin is doing it all, hitting all the spots, covering all the bases.
The generation Meh has finally found its solace, its sense of relief and for the first time in history it is not through music, it is not through EDM, because my friend thinks electronic dance music is not music, it is not through drugs or sex, it is through a big suck-hole of anxiety, hate, disgust, envy, sloppiness and anger, a place otherwise known as the internet.
