It's also the case that song structures have shifted as recording and songwriting has become more often sampling and copy/paste than capturing an entire live performance. A lot of top 40 songs now couldn't even exist without the digital tools that enabled them. The use of sampled repeated vocals as background lines might skew the results a bit.
- giraffe_lady 3y agoMusic creation is always closely tied to technological progress though. At any point in a music's history you can find plenty of works that would have been impossible to create even a decade or two earlier. This is true even of relatively conservative genres like what we now call classical. It has often taken advantage of at-the-time state of the art developments in metalworking and acoustics to create new sounds. The tools being digital does change the dynamics of this process, but that sort of change is still a familiar part of the musical tradition.
