Popular music is a matter of fashion then habit.
POP music is a matter of popularity on the one hand and a certain style relating to an era in history on the other.
Popular music frequently moves with technological innovation &/or heavy promotion.

BIAB midi can be used to play other samples - perceiving crippling limitations so early on in a person's experience with a musical thing suggests more about the person than the thing.

The currently over exuberant "youth" will, soon enough, be, in all likelihood, stuck in a doof doof rut built on a combination or familiarity, exposure, nostalgia and personal taste.

As Elvis Costello, (remember when he was the aggressive, hand biting leading edge of New Wave), wrote & sang:
"History repeats the old conceits
The glib replies the same defeats
Keep your finger on important issues
With crocodile tears and a pocketful of tissues
I'm just the oily slick
On the windup world of the nervous tick
In a very fashionable hovel

I hang around dying to be tortured
You'll never be alone in the bone orchard
This battle with the bottle is nothing so novel

So in this almost empty gin palace
Through a two-way looking glass
You see your Alice"




Maybe it's not that complicated, it's just a matter of song style.

These are two old songs that I like both.
But I will feel that this song will be modern and my favorite song.

It's good too, but I feel a little old

Because I don't understand the lyrics at all, I'm just speaking from the feel.
I prefer Bee Gees - Stayin' Alive grin


a) Touche'
b) old proverb...if you put the right bait on the hook and cast the line into a populated water course, the fish will come.
