The "Millennial Whoop" is taking over pop music (including country music)

[SamAdams76]

I don't listen to too much pop music these days but when I do, almost every song has a certain element in it - which is being termed the "Millennial Whoop."

I guess I could try to be the sophisticated musician and describe to you transitions between the fifth and third notes of a major scale and what not but I won't even try. The Millennial Whoop is basically putting a lot of "Wa-oh, wa-oh's" in just about every hit song. But don't take my word for it. Listen to it in the links below:

Pretty much every pop song these days has the same Millennial Whoop element in it.

It's creeping into country music as well (which has actually become the "pop music" of the heartland).

Here is a mash-up of recent country hits that share the same structure and if you listen closely, a few Millennial Whoops.

I listened to the 3 songs you recommended. I will just politely say that we have very different taste. At least they were songs and not bubble gum or written on the back of a piece of toilet paper during a potty session, but not my taste either. Thanks for trying. I appreciate that you like them.

That’s ok. We don’t have to like the same songs. I love a lot of more pop-y sounds but some of my kids make fun of me. I am a huge Taylor Swift fan and I also love country pop. I can also sing a lot of Disney princess songs and I know some African dance stuff....
