Music evolves pretty continuously, though to be honest, I think most popular music is stuck at the moment. Same tempo, same drums, same synths, similar chord progression, same compression, so often aggressive auto-tune. I like a fair bit of modern pop music, but only in small amounts at any time, or I get bored. Far too many songs comprise what I describe as "shrill girls yodeling". Personally I find Country music too "samey", but there are many others who love it and struggle to see why I feel as I do. Again, I do like some Country music, just not too much of it. That wouldn't stop me using a country realtrack in a jazz composition.

I hadn't intended to suggest that you hated jazz. What I'd intended to mean was that sometimes, some people who think they don't like jazz, have a narrower than fair idea of what jazz is or can be.

For me, this video by the very outspoken Rick Beato is quite telling, and it covers only chords in modern music:

In fairness, this is perhaps more of a defence of the same:

Yes. totally agree.
My knowledge of JAZZ music is very superficial. I don’t know how to distinguish it. Anyway, when I hear the taste, I know it’s JAZZ.

I don't have time to study JAZZ.

In fact, I think music is a complex. I may place more emphasis on lyrics and singing.

As for whether it is four chords or two chords, I don't really care.

When I saw a scene or an event, I wanted to record it through music. I found four chords. I thought of the humming melody. It was OK, and I was done.

Why don't I just write text with pictures or take a video to record. Because I think music is more conducive to spreading, and singing it will enhance memory.

So, when it comes to music arrangement, this is not my strong point, and I don't have the energy to learn, I think it's almost enough. Currently, in my situation, Band in a box is my perfect companion grin
