blastertoyo Pronounshe/she/they/blaster ARTPOPster 1,319 Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 Hunnies I have a pregunta. What makes a song catchy vs repetitive? I know repetitive helps but sometimes too repetitive can be bad. So where is the middle ground? I know PokerFace and Alejandro are catchy for example but also endlessly repetitive. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is catchy vs repetitive like this uncanny valley? like is this catchy? Or repetitive? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nynj nights Pronounsshe/her Popster to Popster 3,689 Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 How do y’all feel about “Alice”? For me the catchiness of the lyrics make up for the repetition. The first time I heard it, I was begging for more by the end! But now I think the conciseness is in its favor.

Alice is very repetitive and it’s probably because of the way the song is structured. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agustin The Popster 113 Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 repetative in my opinion is when all the choruses are the exact same catchy is when it has a good melody and its easy to sing along to. catchy is simple but good Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
