Qualities

Well firstly I don't think I have the knowledge to assess what qualities make a movie good, and the same goes for a piece of art. Therefore I will focus on the music. Well let me put it quite simply, anything that sounds good and isn't repetitive I can listen to. What makes a song good? hmmmm that would take me at least a day to explain. One things for sure, what is all this screamo bullshit.... I mean seriously.. seriously. Are you going to sit there and tell me that you like listening to people scream, backed up by what I consider some of the worst melody though some good drumming. Well I'm going to jot down some qualities 

1) Consonant 
2) Standard tempo none of that math rock crap, even though I love math rock.. its jst bizarre 
3) It should be clear in the sense appeal to one emotion 
4) shouldn't be too long
5) should have a relatively simple form 
6) Really catchy vocals 
7) catchy guitar riffs, not jst the simple chord progressions
8) Smooth bass line 
9) Quick drumming that gets people moving if the songs mission is to make them move 

of course these are just some of the things that I thought up right now, and I know there are a million other things. These are just the most necessary according to me
