    This is an amazing example of how stupid this situation is:

    They’re mostly focusing on pitch. They’re not focusing on rhythm. They’re not focusing on timbre. They’re focusing on a series of notes. You are INCREDIBLY limited in what you can do with those notes. Not to mention the whole step/ half step pattern.

    Edit: I know this is random, but one of my instructors was a backup singer for Katie Perry, and she sucked. If you can find an Asian man with a bald head doing a head bob in the background of Katie Perry concert, I’ll give you 10+ points. He also sounds 10× better than her, lmao.

        So first, music isn’t just chords. Second, there’s only so many combinations that actually sound good. There’s a whole field of music theory around this. Chord progressions kind of set the tone of the song. Different countries actually have different favored progressions - it’s kind of interesting.

        You should look into it. Because it sounds like you’re just mad at how music works.

          at least synthesizers actually produce things that don’t sound like a stupid piano or guitar.

            I’m curious what the difference between a piano and a stupid piano is in your mind

              a piano is an object that uses hammers to strike fibers and induce vibrations in air, a stupid piano is one that performs in a way that is considered “tuned”.
