Pop is dead through the eyes of a lot of us but I think most people like it... Hmm that doesn't really make sense.

I think Q magazine had a write up about this in their July or June issue (whichever one had that crazy awesome Oasis interview in it?). Guitars are killing pop or some such. I agree with that, and I'm happy with it.

But not as they once were. The songs they serve up nowadays are "dullsville" with a capital "D"!!;)

Well are we talking bubblegum pop, or just popular music?

Monkeys and the kooks are pop

Pop as in "pop"ular. But the music that they make is far removed from the type of music that pop groups make. So I don't know what we're really talking about here.

I think it is dead!!! I have never liked so called manufactured music anyway..that is really all that pop is.

Yeah, I define "pop" music as a sound that comes from any other place other than the musicians performing it live. Like someone writing lyrics who aren't in the band, or writing melodies and "beats". That sound, I hope, is on it's way out. Don't know though...

I would say everything that is in the charts should be considered as pop.....because it's "popular music"......

Oh...I saw this too late to quote it...because I was wondering the same...

we are talking about popular music which became a music style during the years.

Popular Music as in stuff which populates the top 10 in the singles chart these days.

 

Lilly Allen, Sandi Thom etc?

yeah for example.

 

but you wouldn't call Thom Yorke or Tom Waits pop, would you?

 

pop had it's own great characters in past like Jacko or Madonna. and imo they created an artificial music style: "POP". so all those Britneys Spearses and N'Syncs and stuff like that are definitely belong to pop music. and even the unpopular versions of all those boy bands and blonde singers belong to pop too ;)
