Factors which have led to the death of Bollywood's melodies

1. Industry Trends: The music industry, including Bollywood, is highly influenced by trends and market demands. Over time, there has been a shift towards more commercial and mainstream music, driven by factors such as globalization, changing demographics, and the rise of digital platforms. This shift has led to a greater focus on catchy tunes, dance numbers, and remixes, often at the expense of melodious compositions.

2. Commercialization: The commercial aspect of the film industry cannot be overlooked. Bollywood, like any other entertainment industry, aims to maximize profits. As a result, the emphasis on music has shifted from artistic expression to creating mass appeal and generating revenue. This has led to a proliferation of formulaic songs that cater to popular taste rather than focusing on artistic merit.

3. Creative Choices: Filmmakers, music directors, and producers also play a significant role in shaping the direction of Bollywood music. Their creative decisions, based on market trends and commercial considerations, influence the kind of music that gets produced. In some cases, they may prioritize instant chartbusters over timeless melodies, leading to a decline in the quality of music.

4. Technological Advances: Advancements in music production technology have opened up new possibilities for creating and manipulating sounds. While this has undoubtedly led to innovation, it has also resulted in a shift towards more electronically produced and synthesized music, often at the expense of the richness and depth that traditional melodies can offer.

5. Changing Societal Preferences: Society itself has undergone significant changes over the years. The tastes, preferences, and priorities of the audience have evolved, reflecting broader cultural shifts. The demand for fast-paced, peppy songs with repetitive hooks has increased, and the appreciation for soulful melodies may have diminished to some extent.

The music industry is a complex ecosystem with multiple stakeholders, and the responsibility for the evolution of its sound rests on a combination of factors.

You guys must be wondering why this post all of a sudden. Yesterday we were looking at 2001 music, which was an embarrassment of riches. In 2023, one single melodious album has been produced Zara Hatke Zara Bachke.

I thought why not examine the factors behind it?

It's a complex issue, what do you guys think?

the day CD sales was replaced by Youtube likes music quality detoriated because their was no way to judge pubic like what ... in 2014 yo yo honey singh became rage the music label felt pubic like this kind of music so badshah also born due to that....but it was just trend today no one listen aaj blue hai pani pani din bhi sani sani sani lol...........secondly was royalty issue where music directors like shankar ehsan loy , saleem suleman was outcasted from films due to their stance same happened to singers like sonu back in days during 2013 onwards when music label started showing powers and dictating who will work and will not ...they used to sign clauses in an agreement

I don't know. The lyrics these days are meaningless. Like "tum kya mile" for example....what is that supposed to mean...Why did we meet? ? Or tum kya mile, mera jeevan barbaad hogaya?
