Pleasure and Repetition in Popular Music
Pleasure and Repetition in Popular Music - Popular music, it's so repetitive. In this session we'll discuss appreciation of an often lambasted feature of popular music: its repetitiveness. We'll consider repetitive song structures, repetitive listening and repetitive beats with a particular focus on theories that attempt to explain why we often find such things to be pleasurable.
