Music IS standardized as it is evident in popular music today. Rhianna for example releases songs that replace the last hit but aren’t too different. This is explained in adornos writing.
Record companies only use a beautiful person with an alright voice you have to fit the ‘criteria’.
Pseudo-individualization = disguising standardization
Is it possible to be unique?
All music follows certain patterns and has cadences and melodies so surely all music is standardized….?
I find katy perry annoying beyond belief. Her music videos are particularly cringey. I find it hard to comprehend that she has a largely jouvenile fan base but still represents herself in a slutty, I’ll bow down to any man sort of mannor. She sexualizes everything from the fairy cakes that cover her breasts to the way she acts every time a half good-looking man is around. Her video for Teenage Dream follows her and a boyfriend speeding in a car to a party, there’s nudity and enough sexual petting to get the father of any child fan excited. BLUUUUUGHHH! Its completely wrong and sets a bad example to children.
However I don’t feel she is completely responsible, instead a sort of puppet the record companies use to fill their pockets with money.
