I don’t mind trends. I really don’t. I don’t even mind when it completely takes over an industry as long as I’m a fan of it. But with music, I can only take so much. It’s awesome to see a high fashion trend trickle down to affordable stores like H&M and Forever 21. It’s okay when everyone does it because it connects the every day shopper to a high fashion feeling. But when every song on the radio is only a slight variation of the last one, that is not a good thing.
That is where this post comes from: a massive music trend. And that trend, my readers, is keyboard zipping. What does this mean? A select amount of keys being punched in a relatively quick manner to help create a beat. Saying it out loud may sound lame, but when done right, it can make you want to rip your clothes off in a manic, head whipping, lip biting frenzy.
Doesn’t conjure up such a lame visual, now does it? Check out some songs from recent history that partakes in this crazy, whizzing trend of zipping keyboard notes.

DAVID GUETTA – WHERE THEM GIRLS AT (FT. NICKI MINAJ AND FLO RIDA)
You could probably just alternate any of David Guetta’s recent tracks and it would work all the same. Other songs that have done relatively well while riding the zipping keyboard wave? Chris Brown’s “Yeah 3X” and The Saturdays’ “Notorious” but there are more that I just can’t be arsed to include. Will this trend die anytime soon? I believe so. I actually think it has begun to die down but if there is one thing I know for sure is that it’s quite fun to listen to…for now.
