Pop music is getting louder, possibly more boring (statistically speaking)

The NYT just alerted me to a paper by Joan Serra and coauthors demonstrating what we can learn about popular music with a big data approach. I'll leave it to you to interpret the trends they identify (music is getting louder, also more similar), but it was interesting and gave me a lot of ideas for how I could borrow some of this technology for my own research.
