The one thing I dislike about TikTok's influence, and I'm saying this as a very casual modern music listener, is that pop songs seem to be becoming extremely short sicne only a snippet is needed to blow up. Now I don't mind a short song or a long song, as long as it's good, but I'm still often left feeling like another chorus or bridge would really flesh out some of these hits. Like that 'Unholy' song by Sam Smith and Kim Petras [0], which I think is rather fun but it really feels cut short to me.
[0] had to search this up, heh.

- bheadmaster 4y ago> pop songs seem to be becoming extremely short sicne only a snippet is needed to blow up That is approximately what happened during the punk-rock era. A bunch of musicians were tired of overly-complex neo-classical jerkoff that was popular in the age of Deep Purple, Pink Floyd and Jethro Tull and just decided to write three-chord songs with a catchy melody and get rid of all the complexity. Perhaps this is an introduction to some kind of neo-punk era? Probably not, though.
