I know that its a personal thing but i often notice one person calling something cheesy that another might dig..
So my question is what makes something cheesy? Is it the notes used in a melody? Is it the lead sound chosen? Is it the octave it the melody is playing at? Is it the feeling it creates?
What separates the cheese from the errrmm what shall we call it the meat?!

Cheesy is something that is: immature/childish/overused/not original
Like usage of drug samples in tracks or lyrics like "I love you - you love me…Alien…mushroom… I gonna fly…sky…stars…sun…
About melodies: exaggerated/predictable/

hay, no! Astral Projection invented it, so the cheesy ones are those who came after 
I quite agree with Nathan: anything heavily predictable or blatantly overused is cheesy to my ears...
... That includes some of my uptempo production I'm afraid ...

I think the word "cheese" has become CHEEZY now.

Personally i feel that every artist should be given credit to each his own-- because the poor guy does spend infinite hours cramped up in his studio going through millions of samples n then twisting n turning it trying to chose the sound that would fit best in HIS opinion!! So it's unfair to call someones piece of art-- CHEESY!
As far as your question is concerned, i think u answered it yourself...

It's all about perception n taste n ofcourse it's a personal thing- but i feel the artist should be confident n comfortable in his skin n not worry too much about whether it's going to sound cheesy or not-- if ur getting the right vibe out of your tunes, go for it

what's wrong with cheese?
one of my fave products. nothing
better than a thick layer of cheese
on bread or in fact on anything
sometimes cheesy music can also be extremely
psychedelic but i guess that depends on the person who's listening to it. you have to be a bit kinky for that

The most important part is a photo of the "artist" on the cover of the album in MTV Pose.

I think they've realised that too and are going back to early 2000 with the new compilation : God Save The Machine. Samples sound great, waiting for the CD. |
