@IoTheEternal @belthagor There's something intelligent about Daft Punk's more famous song chords, though -- they may be the 3, 4 chord formula but they're atypical chords normally.
There's also the reason I used to love Laurent Boutonnat's songwriting.
@IoTheEternal @belthagor And I think, it's to do with highs and lows, and how well placed they are. Otherwise we'd best be hearing the insipid Pet Shop Boys... XD
@IoTheEternal @belthagor You ever heard the whole Western Town Boys whatever the title is? The song is bland for the lyrics hhhh ;;
@IoTheEternal @belthagor We can attack a song at the end of the day because we find something insipid. But like any criticism of a song, it is mostly subjective. People are not necessarily going to agree, and that's fair enough.
@IoTheEternal @belthagor I agree, and it breaks my heart when I hear what the radio often spews out.

Then you haven't accounted for Disney lyrics, outside of Let It Go. Many of them are not necessarily repetitive, but they're beautiful, and people remember them for that.
Repetition, in my mind, is very vastly overdone. Alizée does it to a tasteful degree but I've heard enough tripe on the radio that uses that same technique.
I suppose, then, that it depends on the song being written and that it's not an exact science.
