Ya know, alot of the songs on Latin radio stations sound like they could be anime openers :kyoko_smug:
@hideki no, just random songs on the radio. Just thought some of it has the "anime" sound because it's got dramatic instrumentals with melodic singing.Rap & modern pop don't try to do that, I'd rather listen to Latin stations (which there are alot of in CA). Part of the joke is that I listen to anime and video game soundtracks so much that I relate other stuff I hear to them as a metric, heh.

@supersid333 @RehnSturm256

I am Latin and i literally don't know what you guys are talking about lel

@hideki @supersid333 you don't like Latin music? The singing sounds more passionate than what you hear in rap or most 80s rock, or pop. Something about the chords they play in is more musical.
@RehnSturm256 @hideki I mean he could just also be living in a latin country, where they would just call the music by the genre it is rather then catch-alling it as latin music like we are.

@supersid333 @RehnSturm256

I live in Mexico.

The panorama of today's Latin music is so shitty and depresive that i literally don't know what kind of music you are talking about when you say "sounds like an anime opening" or "nice sounding", so i am very confused. That's why i asked for examples.

If you talk about earlier stuff, like mid-00s to back to the 80s then i would agree to some extent.

@hideki @supersid333 @dirb I think the quality of all music after the mid 00s is pretty shitty. :dead_inside: I see it as a universal decline.

The "anime opening" was a little cheeky joke, but I meant it as a positive. I'm not talking about openings like from a harem anime or something really schlock-y.

For example, I literally heard a song on the Latin station that sounded like the opening to the anime Basilisk, which I liked : https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=6gbXIX8gMl8

yeah if you go back in time you can find a lot of variety and actual quality in latin music all across america, not only in mexico of course. But if you talk about TODAY's latin music you are most of the time reduced to whatever reggaeton loop track they are playing on today's radio.

Stuff like this isn't being produced anymore youtube.com/watch?v=QUH_Sr_aFy

@hideki @dirb @supersid333 Yeah there's a reggaeton station accessible everywhere you go... I don't like it :ehhhh:. Too much electronic sound use, repetitive drums, loud or "sweaty" singing, if that makes sense. I guess it's what might be used as "club music" for dancers to, uh, grind to.

I feel like most rap, pop, and reggaeton is targeting the lowest common denominators, People who don't really like music, they just like SOUND or NOISE.

@RehnSturm256 @dirb @supersid333 Yeah, even "traditional" mexican stuff is noisy as hell, is not made to be remembered, only consumed. It's pretty sad.
