Date: June 23rd, 2026 6:04 PM Author: RUN LIKE HELL This is a mind-blowing statistic. Go out on the street probably 10 out of 10 strangers have heard of The Beatles. I don't think I've ever met one person who knew of The Neighbourhood. How is this possible? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5876904&forum_id=2#49958914) |

before anyone comes at me, yes I agree they were influential and that they were creative AT THE TIME but their music is soOooOOOooooo boring by today's standards |

Date: June 23rd, 2026 6:13 PM Author: RUN LIKE HELL False. Although I did feel the way you do through most of my 20s. As I got older I eventually came to like it somehow. I thought it was boring af when I was like 16 tho. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5876904&forum_id=2#49958940) |

Date: June 23rd, 2026 6:14 PM Author: Bow tie niggas always have very strong opinions The Beatles are amazing but yeah I don't see how someone is just becoming aware that streaming #s are going to be dominated by the type of music younger people who do the most streaming listen to the most.
In other news, slop kids like have the most views on YouTube and dominate classic masterpiece films! |

|
Date: June 23rd, 2026 6:21 PM Author: Bow tie niggas always have very strong opinions Millennials also predominantly stream and of course older songs that are enjoyed by people who stream are going to dominate the top all time because they've had a much longer time to rack up streams.

Date: June 23rd, 2026 6:24 PM Author: Ape Arrogance how is that mutually exclusive with what he said?

|
Date: June 23rd, 2026 6:26 PM Author: Bow tie niggas always have very strong opinions Because younger people listen to more music dude.
Zoomer shit is going to eclipse millennial shit over time, millennials just had a head start. And then, if streaming remains dominant, gen alpha music, and so on.
This is all self-evident and obvious. Why, what's your theory on why The Beatles don't have more streams? |
|
Date: June 23rd, 2026 6:27 PM Author: RUN LIKE HELL My theory is that streams aren't the metric for cultural dominance. I think the shopping mall playlist effect can boost your numbers a lot without much cultural penetration. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5876904&forum_id=2#49958982) |
|
Date: June 23rd, 2026 6:32 PM Author: Ape Arrogance corpo playlists and streaming demographics are both factors, also wasn't your initial claim that it's mindblowing or some shit like that? we are saying it isn't surprising (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5876904&forum_id=2#49958989) |
|
Date: June 23rd, 2026 6:33 PM Author: RUN LIKE HELL I think it's surprising in the digital age that you can get so famous from making background music. I blame The xx - Intro for inventing the Spotifycore genre. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5876904&forum_id=2#49958991) |

Date: June 23rd, 2026 6:36 PM Author: RUN LIKE HELL I think it's dentist offices and shopping malls. I bet any random slice of the population can hum Hey Jude and Penny Lane and 99% don't know K Pop Demon Hunters. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5876904&forum_id=2#49959004) |

Date: June 23rd, 2026 6:38 PM Author: Ape Arrogance "random slice of the population" - yes but our point is that streaming demographics AREN'T a random slice of the population (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5876904&forum_id=2#49959007) |
|
Date: June 23rd, 2026 6:39 PM Author: Ape Arrogance (and yeah even just within millennials and zoomers and gen alpha, Hey Jude probably has the edge [although for gen alpha I wouldn't be surprised if e.g. Golden wins]. but most young people know Hey Jude involuntarily; they don't seek it out) (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5876904&forum_id=2#49959008) |
|
Date: June 23rd, 2026 6:44 PM Author: RUN LIKE HELL My hot take is that K Pop is on average than American pop. Better quality writing imho. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5876904&forum_id=2#49959022) |
|
Date: June 23rd, 2026 6:52 PM Author: Ape Arrogance well I definitely agree based on the KPop I've heard, and to be fair that's just the sample that PENETRATED far enough to reach me in the U.S., but honestly I'm comfortable extrapolating and agreeing with your claim because American pop (if you're just talking about modern stuff) is complete slop.
but JPop and JRock are even better imo. I love how they DGAF about genre and make music that's pretty much a mix of everything, it's sooooo 180. ex.: https://youtu.be/wBGlbW16mw0 or https://youtu.be/Wmt86RKEkuY or the Tokyo Ghoul theme |
|
Date: June 23rd, 2026 7:02 PM Author: Ape Arrogance btw for what it's worth GEMINI says that Golden would win in a landslide over Hey Jude for gen alpha (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5876904&forum_id=2#49959055) |
|
Date: June 23rd, 2026 7:17 PM Author: RUN LIKE HELL Probably true. But will they still care about Golden when they're 25? Like most slop it fades away. Hey Jude isn't eternal. A better question is will Golden be as big with Gen Omicron in 60 years as Hey Jude is now. BTW there's a clip on late night of BTS singing Hey Jude so it's obviously had cultural PENETRATION. Will Koreans in 60 years be singing Golden? My guess is that it's too slop coded to have lasting impact. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5876904&forum_id=2#49959078) |
|
Date: June 23rd, 2026 6:42 PM Author: Bow tie niggas always have very strong opinions I'd bet classic rock like the Beatles is streamed into dentist offices and shopping malls more than K Pop Demon Hunters precisely because it has broad cultural relevance most people are familiar with. But hey maybe you just got a Root Canal to "Golden", maybe I'm the outlier and boomer dentists are streaming "Soda Pop" to their boomer patients, and that's whats driving the numbers, not the legions of zoomers who stream it on repeat 24/7.

|
Date: June 23rd, 2026 6:47 PM Author: RUN LIKE HELL It's neither. It's Spotifycore which is what The Neighbourhood is. It's really mellow background music your brain can't retain. It's like the stuff they used to play on the soft pop station. Beach Boys and The Girl From Ipanema. It's muzak/elevator music for the digital generation. People are calling it Spotifycore now because it gets in heavy rotation on playlists businesses put on every day. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5876904&forum_id=2#49959029) |
|
Date: June 23rd, 2026 6:55 PM Author: Bow tie niggas always have very strong opinions This is retarded. My kids listen to this shit on repeat 24/7 and when I go to the store they're playing hits from the 2000s and older. Maybe you live in a bizarro world where your dentist is playing fucking K Pop Demon Hunters. I have no clue why you're resistent to the obvious conclusion that the most streamed songs are from people streaming music, not BIGDENTIST juicing the stats for some reason.
