User blog comment:OtterJiang/English Producers - Same Sound Syndrome (SSS)/@comment-53539-20150123093217

I remember when I was a Drgon Force fan (don't laugh too hard at that) their first album pulled me in. I love guitar solos. Their second album was "alright". After that, they got really repetitive and dull and the songs all sounded samey.

It basically happens to even professionals, over time it gets harder and harder for some to find creativity. Part of this is because what makes a person famous often results in their future work being manufactured to match what propelled them to stardom in the first place. In the end they can get formulaic, loosing the freedom to try new and daring things. This is also why many modern music peeps have short carers. All the experimenting was done 30-70+ years ago and everyone has been re-using their stuff since one way or another, even if its just the way a song is built.

Especially if there is a deadline and the producers are pressured to meet said deadline, they will just produce the same things they've always produce.

So... If this happens at the top, you can imagine whats going on may also occur in the lower amateur circuit. Plus their demo songs.... The fun begins once the vocaloid is released. I don't think I've come across one demo song thats made me really excited for a vocaloid in the last 3 years and even during the V2 period, ones like Lily's didn't give the right impression of the vocal.
