Four Chords, 36 Songs

There are only so many combinations of notes that a musician can use. It's inevitable that we're going to run out of original songs eventually, hence this video.( www.todaysbigthing.com )

We're not going to run out of originality for a long, long time. Pop music on the other hand, has never been original.

Now, I however agree with you about adding on to the chords. For example, why don't we start modulating on every song to be interesting? And I do not just mean the half-step modulation from say... C major to D major. Be bold, be brave... Db major to F# minor... something cool, something suave... something Mahler.

@iceyhot7

You didn't really change anything by adding on V-I (by the way, V-I. Not 5, 1. If you're going to criticize people, please do it as pretentious as you possibly can. It tends to give you a better feeling while still making you realize you're arguing over the internet.)

People that know what they're talking about will know when to call it a B#. Because if you know what you're talking about, you can tell me that the key of C# major has a B# in it and not a C. Also you wouldn't call a key signature B#, because you can't write that key with sharps.
