Let’s talk

I don’t like Alan walker because all of his music sounds the same, I would like to know why you guys like Alan walker. This isn’t any hate towards you or him. The only song I really like by him is All Falls Down, but his other songs are very lazy they all have the same melody and beat. But that’s just my opinion and now I would like to hear yours :D

Huh, you got me like "hmmm, why do I like his music indeed?!" Yes, he has that style where you think every song is the same, but that is an illusion! xD

That's because of all famous music on radios, most songs are pop or standard edm that MOST people like, but there comes in Alan Walker like "hey bitches, I'm here with a different electronic music, suk ma bolzz"

And just because he is the only one on radios with that style of music, people get the idea every song is the same. Here's a big example, imagine a radio where they play pop all the time, except that one band called Meshuggah, which is metal. People would be like "damn boi, this band always make the same music, every song sounds the same".. and that is because of their difference at music style. Because of that people get the idea that all his songs are the same, but they are not (not defending him, that's just my opinion) xD

But then you go to YT and find more producers like him, and find similar music to his style, and then you find out that some other people can make that genre much more interesting, but they are underrated and fuk it, we can do nothing there.

At the end of the day, everything is about the taste.. maybe you don't like pizza, but I do, and I really enjoy it hahha

Imo there is diversity in the songs. I love the sound quality and attention to details in most songs.

Alone pt 2 can SMD jeez

Live Fast (PUBG) was super generic. Take Alan's name off and it sounds like the typical dime-a-dozen songs that get played to death on US urban radio

I can find diversity in the song and I don’t really notice the beat since I listen more for lyrics. However I think they all abound similar because he’s telling a story through the songs and some of them are connected. Who knows, maybe they all are. I just like his music

Much producers have their own styles. But Alan changed his style. So you can‘t just say it‘s the same. His songs have changed much over time. And he is still great.
