+206 Pop songs with violins usually sound good, even great. For example Viva la Vida, Down, Firework, amirite?

*some. Also, bittersweet symphony. But generally you're right, because it makes the songs sound less dubstep and pop-ish.

There's a dubstep violin song called crystallize by Lindsey Stirling. It's actually really, really good, and I don't like dubstep.

ooh Viva la Vida ftw.

I just realized that Viva la Vida and Firework both use very similar violin beats. Which I guess is no surprise, since pop music recycles the same chord progressions over and over again.

I totally thought of the Vitamin String Quartet.
