I feel like kpop is the perfect example of NPC music, too perfect and shiny to be manufactured at a big scale

I hate how calling someone an npc is now something that mostly npcs do

How can you call someone a musical genius and then describe their music as manufactured, soulless pop? Genius is about creating the unexpected, not doing something to an acceptable standard on a repeated basis.

"i'm not the npc i know about duster and glitch pop" bahahahah

It's been several years, and I still have NEVER heard a Marshmello song in my life, yet his name appears everywhere in the internet. I'm starting to think this is a running gag of a fictitious name.

90% of music of all genres is just "we broke up. Im happy Im sad'

its crazy how now were in the age when we can use literally any sound on this planet to make music, and yet every song now feels the same

I pray to god ai music is never a big thing… we can NOT let it go that far

"Too polished, too organized. They sound manufactured" true. If you take a look at how Charlie Puth produces his music, you'd see exactly that. He loves to painstakingly record each note to perfection. I respect his grind, but I prefer more human imperfection. I always get excited when there's a slight difference in singing between repeating verse, or when the timing and pitch are not quantized 100%.

How terminally online ya'll gotta be to even hear about "NPC music"

there is no “NPC music”. just listen to the music you like and let others do the same lol

"well you see..i'm not an NPC..i'm far better....because i listen to such obscure artists as neutral milk hotel and car seat headrest"

While I think the whole "NPC" thing is basically an admission of main character syndrome, I do 200% agree that there's an overabundance of what is basically glorified stock music.

"Look, I'm a huge fan of Oliver Tree"

an npc says that he hates nps music in his video with npc music on a background

im glad you distinguish npc music from pop music, i love a lot of pure pop musicians and a lot of their stuff can feel very middle of the road and generic on the surface, but its not trying to be anything else. like npc music is trying to be deep, but legitimately good pop music knows that its not deep and it doesnt need to be in order to be fun and enjoyable

It's like a Netflix movie. On paper, everything is there, but when you watch it something just doesn't feel right.

I'm not an NPC, I'm a real music fan. Currently I am listening to the Portal 2 sound track through a Motorola Razor in a flooded subway station.
