    The late 80’s and 90’s was crazy in Sweden in many ways. One important fact they forget to mention is that all over Sweden in this years we had 100 of good bands that played in 100’s of clubs all around Sweden. All with the Swedish sound. Every village and city hade good live stages. The musicians was the result of the Swedish school system at the time and some of those band added to the other Swedish success in pop and the Swedish rock. And that part is still living and kicking.

    Wow!! All the talk about jantelagen.. I think the discussion was all about individuality. As said in this video the music was (even though good) fabric made, prepackaged and kind of on an assembly line or copy pasteing matched to artists. This way of making music was I think something a lot of people in Sweden disliked. Yes we have something called jantelagen it’s not as prominent in our culture nowadays but I don’t think that people who became rich or famous was made to pay. If they where it was for how they acted/flaunted their fame/celebrity..

      Why would Bjorn & Benny be angry about their compatriot success? Max Martin was always very kind about the inspiration he took from them. ABBA was very successful during their time. They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and their Mamma Mia franchise was a 5 billion dollar success. Bjorn & Max co-founded a company in 2016. ✌

    True story: I was living in Gothenburg and did a "try-out" with a metal band as a drummer. When I was on my 2nd day i had noticed so much stickers and written stuff with "Ace of Base" on it in the room we were jaming, I had to ask " Why all the Ace of Base stuff?"
    " - Oh Well this used to be Ace of Base main practice room" 🤨😲 Came to find out they wrote most of their international Hits in that very same room. It was quite the feeling!
    Edit* I hate to be dark but there's ALOT of shady stuff going on in Hollywood & The Music Industries. I've seen it.. I find it pequliar that a "shady" person like Max are pushed to stardome right after the spontaneous dead of Dennis Pop. Reminds me abit of Dave Groohl after Kurt died.

      I think Max is just an introvert suffering from social anxiety.
      The idea of being recognized everywhere you go would stress out a person like that.
      I know that because i suffer from social anxiety myself.
      You could tell @ 17:05 by how awkward he is in front of a camera.
      "ALOT of shady stuff going on in Hollywood"... They where still based in Sweden at the time.
      "I find it pequliar that a "shady" person like Max are pushed to stardome right after the spontaneous dead of Dennis Pop"
      As far as i could tell, they where pretty much besties and both where songwriting world beaters in there own right at the time.
      Cant see the motive or how it would benefit Max.
      I know how introverts are often treated with suspicion. I've seen it.. First hand.

      This BBC program supposedly chose to only focus on producers associated with Cheiron Studios and not on successful Swedish producers at large. Ludwig Göransson, RedOne and Avicii (rip) are all internationally acclaimed producers from Sweden who've forged their own careers in music without Cheiron/Max Martin.
      Funny fact: Max Martin and Ludwig are on the same amateur floorball team, which Max set up with friends and other music producers in LA. In other words, they don't work on music together, but they play floorball together!
