Most annoying trend in modern film music
Annoying Trend 1:
A film that has just one principal cast actor who is black (or at the very least, nonwhite) will be dominated by dull hip-hop beats that for sanity's sake, we will call "club music". White people figured out decades ago that cheesy synth sounds and the clap button on drum machines sound awful, and I guess that knowledge has yet to circulate around.
Annoying Trend 2:
Any action/adventure flick will be brimming with "morse code" style pounding coming out of the string section, which is apparently being manned by lumberjacks instead of violinists. Every one of these scores is indistinguishable, with an optional choir.

Shitty hip hop beats and soundtracks annoy the hell out of me, far more than samey orchestral scores.

Any blaxploitation film is likely to have stuff from trend 1. Rap music pisses me off as well as anything resembling it, so I vote for that one.SPC Brungardt wrote:Can someone produce an example of number 1 from YouTube or something? I'm not entirely sure what you mean.
