Welcome to a conversation about the difference between today's beat drops and the beat drops of yesterday. Aka the early 2010's. Where we once had Skrillex going absolutely nuts and throwing a war of sound effects at you, society has seemingly moved on. Now, instead, we have the smooth, cool bass/vocal drops that Mr. Charlie Puth has referred to as the "anti-drop". Here's a brief history at something that is still very much in the works today.

I do think that Lorde, and the countless hits from Pure Heroine, contributed to the drastic change in pop music in the latter half of the 2010s. I love Lorde’s subdued and minimalistic approach in contrast to the maximalist Dr. Luke, Black Eyed Peas, Pitbull movement

I think the turn from music being a public thing to being a much more private headphone-based activity in the streaming era definitely has something to do with it.

TLDR for the video: For every jump in this world, there's a hop, and thus creates the balance that is jopping,

Music in general had gone a lot more low-key and I feel like that can be attributed to the EDM oversaturation of the early 2010s.

I miss the days where pop music was happy, bright, fun and danceable. It felt like an endless summer vacation. Now It feels like everyone is desperate to sound lowkey, depressed and lonely. Hopefully someday this style of pop music will return to the forefront of culture.

I'm a big lover of the whole "chorus with reduced instrumentation after the 3rd verse or final bridge" because of all the build up to something big and then the sudden drop and feel like this trend is is giving me lots of small doses of that throughout the song. Love it

You can actually relate that anti-drop about why modern tech house is the hip genre on EDM nowadays. It's the opposite of the big anthemic drops of the early 2010's (Hardwell, KSHMR, Afrojack), now it is more bare bones with its approach, where you only need groovy bassline and house drums and some big leads here and there sprinkled throughout the song.
Some great examples:
Beggin - Chris Lake & Aluna
Baby again.. - Fred again.., Skrillex & Four Tet
On My Mind - Diplo & SIDEPIECE
Bel Mercy - Jengi

I believe that even though it tries to go a different way.
A drop is a drop, even if it isn't loud, it still is a sudden and important step of the song that has been building up. The main difference is the style of it and how it is presented.

I love both types and i hope they coexist at some point.

I loved this video!! The K-pop mention was so needed since there's such an excess of anti-drops in the genre. Overall a very good video!!

Surprised you didn't mention Jack Ü in this video, I would say that Where Are You Now was quite influencial to the anti-drop

I find it strange that one of the prototypical example in the opening was Martin Garrix's Animals. I always thought that one of the most memorable parts of that song was how antidrop its drop is. The build is huge, typical for EDM of the time then... instead of the explosion of sound and energy, you get something quite like many of the antidrop examples in this video.

In my opinion the master of this “anti drop” seems to be Dua Lipa. It seems like every one of her monster hits has this massive build up to her over a stripped down drop

I admire you ability to talk so much about music for people that don't really like music.

Locked out of heaven is an excellent example of an anti drop that came out in 2012. A banger as well

amazing respectful creative effort as always ❤ I think the drop is something "Young" and dying early aswell.... I miss the old house, electro or pop melodic days without drops
