It's crazy how similar pop music sounds from all over the world. The language differs, but the energy of the music is similar in a lot of different countries.

I wonder if this is because everyone is using digital audio workstations like Ableton or Logic now. It used to be that different places had different instruments; and it would take years to become an expert. But now, the DAW is everybody's instrument.

musicians are the ultimate cross-pollinators .. someone, somewhere will inevitably get a creative buzz from listening to something solid from somwhere else.. its not a bad thing, entirely.. different strokes for different folks .. Think about "guitars", except over the centuries.. is it a technical copying that makes the music sound the same, since it is a stringed instrument, like those other ones ? hmm It certainly could be argued that pace of interaction can lead to loss of diversity.. isolated people dont copy music styles.. big topic !
