Synth pop mania

Synth pop mania has most definitely hit the United Kingdom and the united states of America. Synth pop mania is a term that I have came up to talk about and show the direction of music today, and what pop music actually is now. Previously artists like Britney spears or justin timberlake would release songs and albums with a non Synth pop mania feel to it. Like in the days of Nsync and stuff. However, now artists and the producers of music are going for a more electronic feel.

The electronic feel I am talking about is Synth pop mania. Synth pop mania has been around for a while now, in my opinion I would say for around 2 years plus. Artists like Lady Gaga are the force behind Synth pop mania. The success of her means that more artists who come into the industry will be forced in using this Synth pop mania sound, within their music. I do kinda feel sorry for the artists who do not want to do this though. The reason being because artists don’t usually choose what music they want to record. Often the record label will force the artist to record a certain song with a certain type of feel. Its almost like fashion, record labels choose songs that will sell and songs with sounds that are in fashion at the moment, rather than songs that they may think are great.

Synth pop mania will be continuing for a while, especially due to the success of many global artists using this sound. The Synth pop mania feel to songs can be recognised of you listen to the sound of music today, and compare it with music from half a decade ago. In some cases you can compare Synth pop mania with some songs from 2-3 years ago and substantially see the difference in the music. Many people are fans of the whole Synth pop mania sound, but you must ask yourself, are you really a fan of Synth pop mania, or are you just a fan because it is in fashion. These are often things you must consider as an avid music listener. Synth pop mania will die out eventually when the people eventually see it as being a commodity and decide to move on to something else, something more unique. Then that thing that is unique will get abused by popular culture. Let’s hope this change happens fast, and Synth pop mania goes away for good, very soon.
