Representative of popular music on the radio these days. I'm not sure if any instruments are actually being played, but the synths and bass aren't terrible for the genre. The vapid lyrics are just so bad though, and combined with autotuned vocals it's kind of a miserable experience. I'm sure there's fans out there though.

Well, the AI tools being used to create artists and music whole cloth will be the next thing. There's essentially a radio monopoly with IHeartMusic owning a lot of radio stations. I don't have any doubts they'll start AI'ing their own shit and well you can figure out how much money that will make them.

if you haven't seen the accompanying video to this article, it's embedded on the page and worth the 9 minutes to watch. The word "enshitifcation" is apropos. 

This is kind of like if I went to a professional kitchen and gave a chef some vague ideas of what I wanted them to cook and how I'd want it presented. Then, instead of giving credit to that chef for the resulting dishes, I'd just take the credit. And I wouldn't have to pay that chef anything.

I'm still not tired of that Mariah Carey record.

props to anyone who's able to create an original Christmas hit and have it stick like that.

My wife never knew who REM was, like wha?

This was finally released on CD and streaming. Originally it was only a Record Store Day release, but I think they had a surge of fan interest for a wider release. So now it's out. 

BTW it's mostly Surf Music!
