“Music Before Was Good, Not Like Nowadays”<\/em>: You’ve probably heard more than one purist vehemently claim that today’s music is trash and that “there are no artists like before.” While this argument lacks any sense, the truth is that contemporary music is very different from the past, and social media<\/strong> plays a significant role in this transformation.<\/p>\n\n\n

“If you take a stroll through Spotify<\/a> or any other platform, you’ll see the proliferation of a new type of song that is much more sensationalist. Let’s not even talk about the lyrics, which in some cases can be extremely basic. To write a viral song, all you need to do is follow the current trend and add a catchy<\/strong> hook.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The truth is that this method is not the worst thing in the world, and it has given us some incredibly fun hits, it must be said. However, it’s a phenomenon that is impossible to ignore, especially if you spend a lot of time on social media. The impact that TikTok<\/a>, Twitter<\/a>, Instagram, and similar platforms<\/a> have had on popular culture is undeniable, and of course, this has also affected music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For years, artists no longer need the backing of major record labels to achieve success. A great example of this is Lil Nas X<\/strong>‘s early career. His song “Old Town Road”<\/strong> stayed at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 for over 16 weeks. Another very similar case is Doja Cat<\/strong>, the creator of viral hits like “Say So”<\/strong> and “Mooo!”<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
