Listen to ugly people music (or vtuber music, same thing (na, just kidding around with vtuber insecurities (help I’m trapped inside this nested parenthesis))) nevermind, got out.
Video killed the radio star
Politics too
“Ugly” and “good music” are subjective
Don’t forget about the halo effect. Someone on stage doing a killer set is going to seem hotter. When someone is good at one thing, we start to think they’re good at everything (where being hot is a thing).
Ugly people are still making it, pop acts have just figured out that if you make a pretty person pretend to sing it it sells better.
I am convinced that producers go out with a company checkbook and standard boilerplate, find acts that have good songs, then buy the rights to those songs.
They then give the songs to larger pop artists and never credit the original artist because there is no need. They likely pay well for a decent song.
One of the biggest examples of this for me was " even if it breaks your heart". I was pretty happy hearing a pop country song with decent lyrics, to find out it was written by Will Hoge and Eli Young Band bought the rights.
They do.
It’s extremely rare that people like Taylor Swift get as big as she is from writing her own songs.There are actual classes you can take on how to write pop songs, taught by people who made pop artists big.
I’m 14 and this is deep! /s
