This is again some more over speculation. I like your spirit but you are reading wayyy too much into this. I am a musician, I have played around the local music scene in NYC for almost 15 years and producing high quality music and music videos is much easier than it looks and extremely common. It's not hard at all to produce stuff like this nowadays. I hate to admit it but I really do like their music and it kinda makes me sick to my stomach, lol. Their videos are awful however. But really nothing to it, the fact that their music and videos are well produced is nothing strange in this day and age.

What do you think about the production costs of the video? Edit: Also, why are the Taylor Swifts etc. of the big-time music scene ... why are they spending so much on their music productions, if it's so easy? Just a question. I used to play also, years ago, never recorded but it would have been not high-tech, analog.

Not as much as you think. Honestly this stuff isn't particularity hard or expensive to do these days and many lower level local bands I know have professional videos and albums.

lower level local bands do not put out music this good with identical stylistic signatures to famous producers like David Z (born David Rivkin). you can try to pull the wool over people's eyes, but the one thing you cannot do is remove things like intuition from people. Everyone who hears this knows intuitively that this is from David Rivkin or someone at his level. People go to movies and hear movie theme songs and hear radio hits and see professional music videos on MTV or Muchmusic or wherever , and they know what they are hearing when they hear it again. That's just the way it is. You sense all sorts of things about the cultural infuence of the music, the esthetic , the sensibilities and basic genre of it. Not just 'the electronic equipment required' there's way more to it than that. you can see how expertly the music and video caters to the limited attention span generation, how the music periodically transitions from one 'mode' to another, just before the listener loses interest, the same way that the accompanying video for it flits from scene to scene to keep the attention riveted.. These people know what they are doing, and why they are doing it, and they are making money to do it expertly.

You are grasping at straws. Music "this good"?! This is AVERAGE music for a band that plays music at a local level. I have been playing and recording music for 20 years and this is NORMAL. Give it a rest ffs

bullshit, plain and simple. this is not music which is 'played at a local level', what planet are you living on? This not even 'playable' live , for the average local band. It is studio-created electronic, synthetic music.

Listen to the percussion alone. Try to reproduce that live. Try to play this live with three people..

it's not going to work

this was created in a recording studio from the ground up, from the get-go. They would have to reverse-engineer it all live, with the assistance of a lot of pre-recorded backing tracks to get even close to this.

Oh ok ok I see, you are just trolling. Either that or you literally just discovered that music exists this morning.

HunkaHunka ago

no , I just know sophistry bullshit from a poseur when I see it. That is what you are doing.

As if your claim to be some expert in pop music over rides common sense.

you don't HAVE to spend your life time near beer urinals in the basement of local taverns geeking around with mixers to know a thing or two about music or common
sense

or about average talent levels, skill levels and common sense

I have spent thirty years sifting through the lies of paid bullshit artists like you

cancha tell

K, bud. Have fun trolling.
