If you've listened to basically any radio station that plays pop music, you'll know how true this is.
It's not being snobby or dismissive to say that the vast majority of modern pop singles are derivative, repetitive and designed with the kind of cold calculation and meticulousness that's usually kept for ICBMs. There's actual, verifiable proof in the form of this handy little informational video from Quartz.
The video shows that most modern pop music has a specific fill that's taking over and becoming increasingly common. Dubbed 'The Millenial Whoop', you'll know the instant you hear it - because you've been hearing it non-stop for the past few years.
Take a look.
This is all Baltimora's fault, basically. We always knew it and now we know why.
