​@@brenetssssDon't watch random videos.

Never heard the phrase NPC music but I agree with the video

@simplybrisk Yeah but ai music still sounds pretty boring tho

It’s arguably just the next step in music’s evolution. Already, thanks to TikTok, you’ve had a reduction of a song’s duration (they’re all under 2minutes) and virality has obfuscated them need for an organic fanbase, so every current singer/rapper is disposable after 2 years. I think at this rate, AI can easily replace human-made music. Music is generally becoming more and more soulless, more of a permutation from decades past, and it’s already algorithmic more than artistic so yah.

It will be

dang npc music made by soulless human singer/ team will be replaced by soulless ai what a tragedy

It is now

Being a perfectionist and wanting to make it sound like corporate slop are too very different things

“Light Switch” sounds so “did I just make the song of the summer 🤪🤪😜”. Literally got that catchy ear worm beat, the light switch flick hook, the simple to understand but not too explicit lyrics, the minimalistic soundscape and beat. Like the only Charlie Puth album that was genuinely pretty good was Voicenotes

​@@v.0190 It depends on the musicians playing. The notes are written down with instructions on tempo, dynamics, and feel, but it's still up to the performers to interpret them. This is why different recordings of the same piece will not sound the same.

@mishynaofficial sure its objectively good music, but it's music that was made for money and not for the music. Re using the same formula as if it were a math problem to solve and get the lowest number on a billboard or whatever. It lacks soul and shouldn't be respected as music.

@@deityoffilth dude these progressions existed for the entire history of humanity chill

"The whole "NPC" thing is basically an admission of main character syndrome" That's a VERY good point.

Your point has validity, but to make a counterargument, once upon a time I used to take my ex-gf's xanax from time to time, and that is absolutely, unequivocally, an NPC drug. It's like whatever it is that makes you "You" is dead and your body is wandering around in the world doing God knows what. And then you eventually wake up the next morning with essentially zero recollection of anything that happened the previous night. Again, not saying you're wrong, but there's definitely NPCs out and about out there ....... and I know because I was one of them. Moral of the story: Don't take Xanax.

@@arandompasserby7940 Okay, fair enough.

"Stock music" is such a better name!

It's admission there's people with soul and people who have none

yeah i think alot of people consider pop to be npc music just due to how it sounds i guess. I can attest to the fact that to me most pop songs sound the same. Not that i think it's npc music just that it all sounds the same to me imo.

Definitely agree with you! As someone who has pop dominate his Spotify Wrapped year after year, alongside growing up with it, I’ve kinda been adapted to finding differences, but even I can tell when a song is clearly make for popularity, not for fun or desire to create. The best kind of pop is pop that knows what it is, and doesn’t take itself too seriously, and pop that takes itself seriously but is genuinely deep. Dua Lipa isn’t NPC music because Dua Lipa knows that her songs are not The Weeknd levels of introspective that need 2 hour breakdown videos to cover, they’re catchy fun disco pop songs to dance too. Ariana Grande knows her pop-R&B era music isn’t going to be making you cry, and she doesn’t want or need her music to do so. They know what they’re doing, they know who wants to listen to it, they don’t care about faux deepness because that is not their goal. The Weeknd’s pop-synth-R&B music (no clue how to quantify his music) is very serious and very sad and very deep and therefore doesn’t pretend to be deep with glaringly obvious lyrics and manufactured melodies, because it is simply deep.

this is why his inclusion of dua lipa as npc music rubbed me the wrong way

The thing is that it’s entirely subjective. As a rapper turned classically trained musician, I am tired of receiving constant comments about me playing « real music » nowadays. Yes, there is of course an industry that aims at a certain audience through certain types of songs. However, that’s pretty much everyone in the recording industry that are trying to make a living 🤦. « NPC music » makes no god damn sense. Some of you don’t even know how to explain why one music is « NPC » and the other not.

@@xdranzer0004 the fact that some people consider rap not real music is so funny. also yeah i think people generally consider music that they find annoying "npc music" or just popular music. Honestly in the end people should be able to enjoy what they want with out being judged

did you even watch video or just read the title?

@@sssveden nope!

This, coming from someone with zero understanding of what NPC means

​@@K-kj5svIt just means Non-playable character, like the AI person in a video game.

@BlakeGeometrio That's were NPC originated from. It has more than one meaning, the definition I gave in other comment strings, and the definition you gave. Both are equally true. People who try to argue against this are living up to their NPC programming.

Nah not me, you acknowledging you're an NPC 100% means you're NGMI tho...good luck lol

only the tiktok and main character crowd it seems.

tiktok logic, calling generic music npc music

Back in my day, we called it "mainstream".

God forbid I'd enjoy some catchy music, I can be pretty snob about fotm things but not to an extreme level where I mock people who enjoy it

no, people are realizing the state of the culture is heading in a direction where there will be more and more generic music. do you think thom yorke would be on tiktok saying "did i just make the song of the summer?" no. having your music blow up be tied to the requirement that you must be able to live on tiktok and consistently create a whole nother form of content is fucking up the music we hear on a regular basis

He didn't mean it's automatically bad but most of these "NPC" songs sound similar and the rhythms are calculated just like the lyrcs

@@MrKasenomThe main character is certanly what I'm not...

Exactly! A lot of comments are saying “all pop music is trash now, it all sounds the same” and I’m sat here like “have you ever listened to anything else besides Ed Sheeran, Justin Bieber, and Maroon 5?” Music does not need to be ducking deep or something, it’s okay to have silly simple “wanna bang?” And “I’m into person Y” songs.

i think its not about beung easy to relate, music can have literally no meaning as long as it comes from the heart, i think the issue is that these songs arent really a form of expression since the artists arent really expressing themselves, they are creating product

Agreed. The only people who say unironically say NPC are people with main character syndrome. They think they're top shit and are the only one who has broken out of the matrix. Meanwhile they tend to be the dumbest, most generic clout chasers.

That’s true, thx for sharing

Yeah no. There are some people who can only be classified as an NPC, or its atleast the closest thing to what they actually are. The majority of humankind is not all that intelligent or self aware. Most will just mindlessly go the same route that millions have done before them: school, job, relationship, children and death, with no real change or uniqueness about it, or without ever truly questioning whether that is the right thing to do. Of course they are still human, and even if you were to compare 2 people pretty much living the exact same life, there are of course still some differences. The system we have is pretty much forcing everyone down the same path, but the ability to question it makes you truly human, even if most can never escape it. But the way most live their life just going down the same mold without ever questioning the world, and never forming their own unique thoughts is as close to NPC as it can get.

@@seanrrr Bad take brother. I think everyone has some level of "main character syndrome". Everyone who is alive right now is experiencing the most intense circumstance that is possible solely for the reason that it is their own. I will never feel exactly the same as you, nor will you feel exactly the same as me. Whatever I just did 5 seconds ago, you can never do that exactly the same, occupying the same space as me, atoms moving in the same way, even people's perception of time differs depending on various factors. For these reasons, everyone is a "main character" and everyone is an "NPC". No one will ever be the main character of another person's life. Really it's more of a paradoxical situation. None can be, but all will always be. With that being said, calling someone a "NPC" unironically is more of a embarrassing sociological attempt at increasing self worth. Calling someone an NPC really does seem derogatory but to some it may not. Believing you are the most important person on the planet is not arrogant or narcissistic, because you're body, you mind, is meant to protect you as a living a being. Your life objectively will always be more important to you as a living creature. Real life isn't like the movies and in most scenarios you will choose yourself over another. Depending on who you are and your own life, there may be a handful of people you would knowingly give it all to protect. I think everybody has a handful. And there are people you don't know but would protect thinking you're not giving anything up. And seldom people are altruistic and will risk something for nothing. I guess my point is, I don't think people who unironically use the term "NPC" to describe other people have "main character syndrome." (which is also not a medical diagnosis but rather a term like "NPC" that has risen in popularity on the internet recently.) That is where I disagree with you, as if everyone has "main character syndrome", then nobody has it, we are all just who we are. I do agree though that those who do use that particular term are stupid and are/or using it with intention for social or monetary gain.

Exactly.

"People who call others npcs are the real npcs" -🤖

@@Asher__65 thats..the same overall meaning "Npcs call people npcs" "The real npcs are the ones who call people npcs" They're not very different

I agree. I switched from being a rapper to becoming an early music singer and instrumentist (harpsichord and lute). Lots of non musicians (often dudes that listen to metal/rock) have told me how « classy » it is for me to not listen to « overproduced » music and instead now produce « real music ». Let me tell you, among the repertoires that I sing and play, Dowland, Vivaldi, Fauré, &c… there are some very sophisticated and philosophical stuffs out there…. but in the same pieces you also find extremely repetitive clichés about shepherds and basic tonal harmony that modern pop music totally outclasses with their unique flavour. No, I don’t listen to every genre either, but I do think that people using terms like « NPC/industrial music » really should take a step back to think about what they say. Of course, mumble rap, Tyga, Migos, &c… probably need no deep analysis lyrically, but I can assure you that despite the apparently simplistic and braindead aspect of that music, there is a lot of work behind and some of it is more personal than you may think.

Literally make npc videos

NPC is just another derogatory term for what you don't like.

I don't listen to music either.

@@crnkmnky Yup.

No but you don't understand, I am the absolute center of the universe. If you like something that doesn't apply to me, that's harmful. Being sarcastic ofc.

enjoy what you want. people not liking what music you enjoy is their problem lol.

My thoughts exactly!

​@laterlater990 If you don't like the music that's fine. But ridiculing the people who listen to the music you don't like is a problem.

Because those are people who don't know shi so they just express themselves. When you learn something, you generally tend to follow a pattern. This is why, imo, relearning stuff from scratch and from a different perspective is radical.

While this may be true, it definitely would lack in the actual sound. Sure, it would be original, but you can you make it original and sound good? This is the reason people should study up on theory, so they can express themselves while simultaneously making catchy songs that people will want to listen to. Think of a three year old scribbling on paper. Sure, it's original, but is there anything appealing to it? Definitely don't tell people to just stop learning about how to make appealing music, that is not the solution. Instead, have people take what they learned, and be creative with how they use it.

Music played by my nephew will be shït just admit you want to feel special and anti-system.

Fun fact: all money from producers doesn't go to making a lot of cd's anymore, its way safer to take a pretty face to sing some generic song and let it play for 30 thimes on: the radio, in every singel commercial and even in movies. Just so you would hear it over and over till you make enough dopamine to be brainwashed into liking the song. Smart dont you think👍

@@jdnart everyone is free to like all music, and I have no right to judge that.

True also npc

I mean sure it existed for decades but it was recently when it became mainstream. You couldn't enter to any video here in the 10's decade without "Dubstep No Copyright 100% Real"

Because calling people NPC's makes you sound immature and childish as it implies life has no real meaning other than to be a simulated entertaning experience (a game)? Sheeple music would be, in my opinion, a much better term.

because its not an issue and not a lot of people actually care about what others like in music.

collectivisim is fun!

@@viquitowers2815 I disagree, a lot of experimentation is still happening in pop music. The pop genre is arguably the largest of all genres, and while we have TikTok singers here to shovel their cookie cutter tracks, we have people who actually are trying to experiment, be it in the genre as a whole, or within their own discography. Example: Dua Lipa, massive pop singer. Houdini, her latest track, does things noticeably different than her previous two albums, and her collaborations with the likes of Calvin Harris and Elton John. It’s fresh, it’s new. Dare I say you’re painting everyone with one brush or however that saying goes. But I assume you don’t actually listen to pop music at all so honestly 🤷🤷

I hate the whining about different music. Just let people listen to what they like.

Because as music LOVERS, we have a deep, intimate connection with music theory. Not everyone is a music lover, music not being a hobby of theirs. I have to say, as I've gotten older, I've appreciated music a lot more. I'm honestly tired of listening to a lot of new stuff that's been releasing throughout the last five years or so. I think I'll wait another five years to hear what projects stood the test of time during THIS half a decade. Classics are classics for a reason. I recently listened to Pink Floyd's The Dark Side Of The Moon and I have to say, it's my third favourite album I've listened to so far. That whole album is an experience; blood, sweat and tears poured into every title. Back in the day, you had to make good music, music that would revolutionise generations to come, or else you wouldn't make a living off of it. Nowadays, it's even harder to make a living off of music (it's mostly got to do with music streaming services like Spotify and Apple Music). Artists don't get paid sh*t from streams. The only successful way to make a living off of music is to, first, be crazy popular and, second, tour almost all year 'round. With music software, a lot of stuff even being free, nowadays, creating music is the easiest thing ever. Because it's so easy to make, it's basically inflation, too much music for every single individual artist to even be heard by a thousand people, not even that. The fact that what's popular now is the stuff that's, in fact, easiest to make, makes it hard for me to appreciate most of what these artists are doing overall. Producers will have one chord progression looping throughout the majority of a song (maybe changing up that same chord progression a little bit), add one or two melodies, add whatever drum pattern they mostly have looped throughout most of a song and slap on an unnecessary amount of bass. With the attention span of the younger generation these days, they need music that's catchy and that has so much bass that it makes them feel like a badass when exercising. Honestly, if you don't understand music theory, you cannot appreciate music (fully, at least). I mean, The Dark Side Of The Moon has so many layers to it. I've come to the conclusion that rap is the new seed of choice. When listening to The Dark Side Of The Moon, each instrument had at least two meanings behind their sound, progression and even key. Man, that album was such a vibe when I first listened to it. Anyway, as I was saying, rap is all about the lyrics - the lyrics having multiple meanings behind them - just like the instruments having multiple meanings behind them on The Dark Side Of The Moon. I'm sorry if I've not worded everything perfectly and I've certainly not typed everything I'd like to say but if you've read this... Thank you so much. I hope this long ahh paragraph has changed your point of view on music. Have a wonderful day.

It's almost like what metal used to be.

Progressive music:

Of course it takes skill, and the people at the top of the pop music world are insanely talented to be able to write and produce so many songs that are so widely liked. I don't think that takes away from the argument about music losing some of it's charm when it becomes too generic-feeling though, since it can feel at times like what should be an art form is being exploited as just another way to make lots of money. Whilst the "pop music bad my music taste is better" argument is just as shallow as the thing it claims to critique, that doesn't mean we shouldn't encourage the enjoyment of music as art and push people to explore outside of just what's shown to them by current trends

Yeah I bet having a ghost writter and producer, replace every lyrics of your last song with synonyms is real hard hmm.

I wonder if you guys in the comments have had a similar opinion of NPC music towards genres that aren't strictly pop. For example, what about breakcore? As much as I love the genre, some of it certainly feels uninspired and soulless for sure. Same thing goes to D&B, jungle and other relatively "hippie" genres. When's the last time a racing game D&B song has stuck with you? I distinctly recall one song from TM Turbo and a couple from NFSMW 2005, but that's about it really. There's also Home Depot music that sucks.

@@lysenthe Every genre has soulless music, you just here more people complain about pop because it’s more mainstream

trueee it's wild how a lot of artists today only exist in the social media ecosystem

@@realmintco yeah and I remember hearing that even some established artists are tuning their music to go viral on tiktok

Damien Van Elburg. Check him out.

What's math rock?

@@trash_alien Math rock is a style of alternative, indie rock and progressive rock, it is known for its odd time signatures, extensive chords and rhythmic patterns hence why the name math is included for its uncommon styles of music. They also call it emo jazz, them being combined gives out meticulous, but also the same time messy rhythms that it actually sounds good. Most of them can be hardcore or soft rock, overall some are relaxing and mellow sounding. I recommend bands like Chon. tricot, toe, TTNG, Don Caballero, and more. I understand it isn't everyone's type of music and will have time to get used to it but I adore this genre so far.

​​@@phantomaviator1318just did its pretty bad sorry. A german guy doing traditional country but badly and germanly

@@ts-wo6pp He's Dutch, but aye, fair enough. I dig it, personally.

yeah

I ptefer coca from sas tut j 25792588435899 breede me aakl

didn't people say the exact same stuff (it's bland, soulless, formulaic, etc) about that era of music?

​@@DTheAustralian Yeah. People have been saying this since forever. I'm sure they said the same thing about The Beatles.

@@BlakeGeometriothey did not say that about the Beatles at all

yo dude, if you like saint motel, i would recommend Jady! they opened for saint motel at a concert

omg i found Saint Motel through random RU-vid digging too :) good algorithm

@@laurarebelo8415 they literally are the greatest band i have ever listened to (in my humble opinion)

🔥🔥🔥🔥SAINT MOTEL HAS BEEN MENTIONED 🔥🔥🔥🔥 I actually discovered them through Spotify recommendations for their song “Preach”. Have not dung into the discography as a whole, but I’m gonna sometime soon! Stumbling into random non-ultrafamous bands and musicians putting out absolute bangers on the down low is the BESTTTT

@@auliamate I can tell you as a dude who has listened to every single Saint Motel song, THEY ARE ALL INSANELY GOOD. So go on and listen to every single one of their songs because you WON'T regret it 🔥🔥

He looks AI generated

My guy, all he did was make a video based on his opinions. The world doesn't revolve around you, and you aren't the "main character". Grow up.

@@danielmsmbl2 Tf do you mean? from persective of the person experiencing the world everthing does revolve around them... So everyone is an npc to everyone else but some are just loved more than other like family members, friends, favorite artist or people in general.

Good thing you like good music.

jazz fusion is da goat imo

@@azkryvll jazz fusion IS the goat. My second favorite (only beaten by progressive rock (not metal) for its diversity. I mean, listen to “histoire sans paroles” then “starless”. How is it the same subgenre?)
