They're kinda like power chords, just omitting the 5th and muting that string, so they're not really major or minor (like a power chord isn't really major or minor) and can work for either. I can definitely think of poppy sounding songs that use. Lit's "My Own Worst Enemy" for starters. That intro is octave chords. "Feeling This" by blink. I submit that All the Small Things wouldn’t have been nearly the hit it was without the use of octaves after the first chorus. Made the song so much catchier 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great breakdown. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jan Backing Track Posted March 1, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2021 16 minutes ago, daveyjones said: interesting take. all the poppier bands i can think of use them. every single one. but then you're talking major keys and basic circle of fifths stuff. but you're right that bands like BR and NOFX use minor keys and chords, and pair them with progressions in more discordant ways for a darker edge. @blinkstillrules... thoughts on power octave use when you have a moment please. Yeah I'm an idiot and was thinking of octaves needing to be minor keys for some reason, I guess the major stuff like on All The Small Things would be far from dark/edgy.
