Despite the seemingly marked difference of today’s songs
from those of the past decades, the current pop music
scene does not offer something new that can progress
music. In fact, one of the findings from the research of a
group of scientists reports that the timber palette in 1955 to
2010 has been more or less homogenous (Serra et al., 2012).
This means that songs from 1995 to 2010 have more or less
the same sound. Since music evolves through the
development of new techniques and explorations of new
sound elements, this trend of timbre homogenization
indicates that today’s music scene does not offer a fresh
contribution that can advance the growth of the field.
