I'm not a big pophead but a lot of the songs Martin wrote/co-wrote/produced are really solid catchy songs. If you don't like them just listen to something else mate

This. People vastly underestimate how talented you have to be to write an extremely well-crafted, catchy pop song, and Max Martin has done tons of them. You don’t have to like them but they’re well done.

They're songs that are on the radio everywhere you go, where you shop, at work, on tv, in films.. it's a total disgrace and you may have the gift of being blissfully unaffected by this ill but it's totally nauseating to me and it's lowered my quality of life. it's lowered the IQ of people I have to interact with in my daily life. This is a global societal ill and it's making music in general lower in standards. Familiarity and repetitiveness stagnates music culture and its normal evolution. Say goodbye to masterpieces in the near future. it'll all be factory slop for zombified lemming minds.. You're already halfway there
