Old mix.

The pseudo kind.

Just as there are pseudo-production engineers who, in spite of their claimed titles, lack production skill. There are also pseudo-composers who, in spite of their claims, lack compositional skill.

Pseudo-production engineers tend to blame their tools for the problems they encounter. Adopting an attitude that “Better tools, automatically make better sound”. Pseudo-composers tend to blame common artist’s bane for their difficulties. Usually adopting an attitude that “If the sound quality/recording is good, it must be good composition”. Sound quality and compositional quality are 2 very different things. Something can "sound good" but lack compositional depth. Most junk food tastes very good but everyone knows it’s cheap junk. Pseudo-musicians often fall victim to megalomania. Basing their musical merits, not on artistic value but instead on profit, paychecks and the reaffirmation of social media echo chambers. Just like the junk food industry, much profit is made producing disposable mass manufactured music that “sounds good”. It doesn’t mean it IS good, more so, it's just good for the industry. A vapid and inexpensive, yet highly produced, polished, profitable, corporate friendly product.

Some writers lack inspiration because they are in fact not writers. Just as some producers suffer from “technical difficulties”, because they are indeed not production engineers.
