- montag 6mo agoOur relationship to slop is a bit more complicated than that, no? Whether it's terrible music or not is somewhat irrelevant. Plagiarized music doesn't sound worse than the original. What seems to matter more is the story behind the work. Basically, if the author is a grifter trying to make a quick buck, then it's slop. You can make an argument that Taylor Swift qualifies as slop, but most people will disagree. The public will be the final arbiter. All I really want is a big red lever to cast my vote.
- grey-area 6mo agoI’d say the quality is the most important metric. I (and I think most poeple?) object to slop because it is objectively bad, not because it was generated. And popularity is unrelated to quality.
- Antibabelic 6mo agoThis is a contradiction. If most people objected to bad music, that would make popularity directly related to quality.
- grey-area 6mo agoYes, most people was probably too hopeful.
