Most Varied/Least Varied Music A lot of electronica has vocals. Here's one great example: [YOUTUBE]7KBNLrqhft0[/YOUTUBE]
Most Varied/Least Varied Music
Most Varied/Least Varied Music I should have said few vocals. I know jazz has vocals sometimes, but they are few and far between. It seems they are mostly a part of older jazz styles: dixieland and swing. It doesn't seem as if more modern styles have them, except for smooth jazz. Then again, just because it's less prevalent doesn't mean it can't be done. I did not know that electronica could have vocals however. I don't recall hearing any with vocals, but my experience with it is quite limited.
Most Varied/Least Varied Music Most of the electronic music I listen to is instrumental and it is still very varied.
Most Varied/Least Varied Music That's an interesting way of thinking about it: how stringent are the restrictions. I hadn't thought of it that way. However, does pop in fact display the variety that one would expect, given that it has fewer restrictions than metal (and I presume you would also include jazz as having more restrictions)? Or could this be just unrealized potential? I'm not saying that pop does not have the most variety. I may just not have heard it. I'm not very familiar with it. Can someone give more examples of how varied pop is? A question for the people voting electronic or jazz. (Classical can have vocals.) I suspect that not having vocals is somewhat limiting. Why or why not?
Most Varied/Least Varied Music That could be limiting if it was a requirement of a genre, sure. But jazz and electronica can both have vocals or not so that's not a restriction on either form of music.
Most Varied/Least Varied Music True and of course electronica can be very poppy sometimes too, a dichotomy that makes it extremely varied.
Most Varied/Least Varied Music 90% of what is deemed pop is criminally poor. The dross that is churned out these days from what appears to be a soul destroying, endless conveyor belt of prefabricated piss poor tunes, shames what used to be a respectable type of catch all music populated by people who could (generally) play their instruments. There ought to be a new genre of music called 'sub-par pop' for these latter day abominations.
Most Varied/Least Varied Music Genre-wise i may have to agree with pop unless you go for a vague rock tag, as rock is absolutely bloody huge and can encompass pop as well. Style wise the reason i like a lot of noise rock is because it's so varied, i very rarely find two banRAB that are the same.
Most Varied/Least Varied Music Yep. I mean, rock is such a vague term that hardly anyone I've encountered who knows their music has told me 'I'm a fan of rock music', at least from my experience. So that's definitely up there with the most varied of them.
Most Varied/Least Varied Music Indeed! Another thing is that Pop is made to be mainstream and accessible whereas electronic music is a free for all. I don't see any terrorcore songs entering the Billboard top 100 anytime soon
