so, a silly melody is ... ? I mean, I think I have a grasp of the concept, because some melodies in electronic music can sound over-the-top but it's usually not the melodies themselves that are bad, it's the synth tone they used to play the melody.
Like, I think squarepusher has some brilliant melodies but perhaps he has used a synth with a ... not-that-cool .. of a tone on it .. so does qualify the melody as being "silly" or...
I'm thinking too hard about this..
