Pop music has gotten louder and less interesting (Study shows)

Think everything on the radio these days sounds the same? Science may back you on that one.

Researchers have analyzed five decades of pop recordings, feeding them into a computer program designed to analyze such facets as “pitch, timbre and loudness.”

Their conclusions, published today on Nature.com: that the volume of songs has been steadily growing, while an “important degree of conventionalism” has crept into the songwriting and producing process.
