Today I learned why rock in the 90s started to sounds boring. In the mid of the 70s in Punk and in the 90s for the whole Rock. The fashion for barre chords has arrived. Barre chords are the same chords in different positions, so its just hand movement and as we know moving a hand is not particularly difficult. A lot of people said that was the end of the originality and artistic of the rock music. At the beginning it probably sounded cool, but in the 80s and 90s every song sounded the same. Example of this invasion is Nirvana and Curt Cobain who is known as a king of barre chords. To make music with barre chords you dont have to know music theory and even play the instrument. In my opinion that why rock started to sound boring and there were not that many interesting innovations anymore like the beatles or pink floyd.
modern music history
In 1800s the world accepted western theory(Europe) as a standard theory for everyone, like English in languages which everybody should know to communicate with people from another countries. Thomas Symmes in 1720 developed singing by note, which means the throat is an instrument which has to hit the notes like every other instruments. It had started be popular in church anthems, but later it went worldwide and after many evaluations we have pop stars who also sing by a note for example: Adele. In 19th century the music theory stopped to develop, but what people did with their instruments especially in metal shows that sometimes the sound of instrument and sound style of singing and notes is enough, because there are a lot of people who listen to music to show their style and not for the beatiful pack of notes and this proves that music theory and singing beautifully with hitting the note is not that important as the style of sounds that an artists have. https://study.com/learn/les...
