I do think it's meaningful.
Even if I don't need data or a scientific explanation of why the bulk (mainstream) music is getting worse.
I can hear that already.

loops are bad?

So you don't go in to the measured chords, note progressions, and melodic transitions but cherrypick loops.
I didn't say that.
It's about OVER USE of the same loops and presets.

I guess I should inform all those classical music critics they’re actually dumb for liking Terry Riley and Steve Reich.

So this is irrelevant but apparently you feel the need to make snarky remarks too.

You're by far the most rude and snarky person in this whole comment chain.

Even if I don’t need data or a scientific explanation of why the bulk (mainstream) music is getting worse.

I mean, you are the one who brought up scientific explanations and are currently trying to defend them...

but cherrypick loops

It was just one example. The other ones are more vague, but even going off the general meaning it's obvious they're meant to apply to modern western music and would fail outside of it.

It’s about OVER USE of the same loops and presets.

Yeah, ok, I understood that.

So this is irrelevant

It is irrelevant that your quasi-objective standards easily fail when applied to somewhat unconventional music?
