Woohoo 6,534 Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 Title. Do you take “pop” as in shorts for popular/trending music? electronic music? made for the gheys? Would you consider it a genre or a label? "I heard if you record Gaga snoring and play it backward it sounds like an act. 2 unreleased." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
vyniildisk 12,689 Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 A label. For example DUA is a multigenere diverse multitasking chanteuse but people reduce her to only being a "pop" artist. Not fair. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twitter 14 Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 To me pop music = popular music. A sound that is trendy, catchy, and fun. A sound that appeals to the masses and not a specific genre group. Pop is a hard genre for most artist, because you have to remain popular, current, and creative. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucas 26,154 Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 I define it by "not being something that isn't pop" Yes it makes sense in my head haha Like if I can't put it in an obvious category like rap, rock, metal, hip hop etc... then it's pop Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you consider it a genre or a label? why does everyone think pop music is electronic or made for gays? Pop music has no sexuality. It’s a genre meant to make all people bop no matter who you are. Also technically pop and EDM are separate genres tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curunir 7,510 Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 California Girls, Teenage Dream, Part Of Me, Roar. These songs are examples of what is pure pop, for me. That sound basically. E.T. is also pop, but electronic dance pop, so it's not the same. I hope I'm making sense But I don't agree with the idea that whatever is popular is pop. Old Town Road for example was extremely popular, but I wouldn't call it a pop song Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rat Q 539 Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 Wow, that is a super unique and reflective question. I would say anything "trending." Anything that I know other people in my own circle are AWARE of even, which makes my branding of the term quite loose. The majority of music I listen to no one I know has even heard of, including most of my country even. I strive to snoot around and find very unknown artists which is a taste I developed as a pretentious adolescent and have never really been able to change about myself. (yet even i annoy myself) huehue "Hesperus is Phosphorus" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

aquiNo 614 Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 I agree that pop music sometimes is popular music, but sometimes popular music can be another definited genre (for example "back to black" by Amy) I don't understand it as a musical genre, can someone tell me if it exists as such? For example, "someone like you" by Adele has Soul and Pop as a musical genre, what makes her pop musically? Sorry for my ignorance, here to discuss Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m straight and musically versatile but it’s statements like those that makes pop music unwelcoming to straight guys or other ethnicities. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
