I mean, he can create number one hits that range from pop/rock to electropop to dubstep. Is it really his fault almost all his songs are huge hits. He has an ear for amazing melodies. Look at these multitude of songs:
He has much more but that's enough to prove my point I think. I think people just say he's generic cause a lot of his song's hit number 1 and he works mostly with females and pop music (hell aren't all his song's pop?). IMO, if that makes him generic, he's just as generic as every other producer no?
i think he can be, he has a suspicious knack for recycling melodies and chord progressions in some songs and coincidentally those tend to be the tracks which are most popular which is probs why people think hes generic and his music is uninspired
He's not. A lot of people just hate him because he "recycles" most of the songs he produces (Abracabra + Teenage Dream, California Gurls + Tik Tok). Other than that though, when he works with the right artist, he's capable of making hit after hit after hit.
He isn't creative. California Gurls was basically Tik Tok. All of his songs sound tailored for radio and follow the current trends. Also in a lot of his non-single songs, there's a clear lack of quality.

Btw, How I Roll is Bloodyshy & Avant, not Dr. Luke.
He's been around for so long, made smashes in every genre, introduced so many genres into mainstream pop music, all while still making the music accessible and listenable. I think people get good and generic mixed up.
