How do YOU define POP MUSIC? Is there even a general consensus? In a historical sense, Pop(ular) Music is defined as the opposite of classical music and is just, well, popular at the time it was written. But I see alternate meanings. Among them are: Pop music has universal meaning, which makes the lyrics easier to relate to. Pop music has simple melodies that very memorable to the listener. Pop music is merely a genre, like rock or hip-hop. What does POP mean to you?

Why is pop music coupled with rock music in categories? Pop music is the bane of all rock. If anything it should be hip-hop and pop coupled together as hip-hop has become pop music.

Is modern pop music not really about the music? There is pop music playing everywhere. But many "music junkies" criticize modern pop. Are they right? Pop music seems very simple in many cases. It also seems to focus more on the artist than the music itself. In addition a lot of music is very sex-based (Britney Spears' newest album). I feel that all music has some artistic value but with so much music out there is modern pop really worth investing your time in?
Is there an online top 10 of French pop music? I once visited a French site with a top 10 French pop music. If you clicked a song, it linked you automatically to youtube to listen to the song, which was very handy. The list was also very up-to-date. Can anyone help me re-find that site?
Do you think pop music in America will ever recover? Ever since the boy bands of the 90's popular music in America has been suffering. It's to the point where radio stations play exclusively R&B and hip hop. Recently a great pop artist La Roux has topped the charts. Is this a sign that maybe, hopefully, things may go back to how they used to be, before the backstreet boys, and popular music will actually be good?

What is your favorite movement in pop music? For example, my favorite would be the progressive rock movement which started in the early 70's, it created some of the most diverse pop music ever composed and inspired modern bands to do the same. Yours could be hip hop, R&B, blues, metal etc etc... or you can be more specific... of course we're talking about pop music here so you have to leave out classical and jazz (unless it's Louis Armstrong or Billie Holiday jazz... fuzzy area here), but anyway, let's see your favorite... *AND* explain why it's your favorite. BQ: Top 5 artists in this movement of your choice.

Do retail clothing stores make more money when they play pop music? I notice this in clothing stores that sell "cool" clothes. Today, I was in Nine West and heard pop music. I also heard it in Structure years ago. Actually, lots of clothing stores do that, and it seems to put me in the mood to buy. It gives me that "dance club" feeling that makes me think I need to look cool. What I wonder is if it's possible to measure the difference in sales with and without music.

I don't know anything about new modern pop music other then whats on the magazines and whatever they're trying to sell this week at best buy.

Why is it assumed that pop singers don't sing real music? Clearly, you don't have to be a songwriter to be a good singer. So why do people have the narrow-minded point of view that pop music is not real music? The fact that technology is used is not an acceptable scapegoat for this question.

When did rap music and pop music switch places? You got alot of rap music nowadays sounding more G-rated as time goes on.
