I think many of the people who claim to hate pop music secretly listen to Lady Gaga and Britney Spears. I really think that some people claim to hate pop because they think it's cool to do so or that it makes them somehow more intellectual. Now that's not to say that there aren't people who just hate it and won't listen to it because they don't like the style. I respect that. But to hate pop just because it's called pop is a little strange to me. To each his own, I guess.

1. easy to listen to
2. catchy
3. good melodies
4. good structure
5. good engineering
6. really well produced
now surley that is all the things a good song should be. are these people (there on GS as well) i bit Dim? why do they not want to make good songs? now i know that not all songs are in the charts are good and i am aware that alot of it is PR and Image, but surley even the occasional really musical stuff breaks through for what it truley is and shines on the charts aswell, as well as your prefered genre of choice. So i don't get why people have so much beef with it, are they jelouse? or is it becuase it is ascociated with such things as young kids, teen age girls and such things that might not be exactly manly listening to (you dont hear many wrestler listening to Brittney spear or lady gaga) which i have noticed with friends they will not listen to popy stuff(purely on principle with out giving it a chance), they label it crap before they even give the music a chance. I think that a good producer and engineer will listen to all type of music and learn to love it for what it is from lady gaga to ten masked men, from dr dre to hybrid and edvard grieg to pendulum, so why has this stero type come over so many people. is it a domino effect that one (Supposedly cool) person says it crap so all his little followers say it rubbish with out giving it a chance? what your thought on why some many people frown apon pop music ? |
