Let's ban pop music! Oh, hang on, where do they ban pop music in the world?

And I really hate pop music too. Really hate it.


don't ban pop music. The music that we should be attacking is Neo Nazi skin head music.


Only if it's anything manufactured......

It does not matter if it is manufactured. People should like both manufactured and non manufactured.



Manufactured music is just greedy record companies picking 4/5 nobodies and bleeding them dry for a quick buck. It doesn't have that timeless feel to it.


There are far more important things to bash than harmless pop music.

Just because it's not obviously harmful doesn't mean it isn't stupid and evil and worthy of bashing. Of course there are far more important things to bash, but that doesn't mean I can't bash pop.

The list of things i'd love to bash is very very long, but manufactured X Factor baloney is one of them. Simon Cowell is the devil incarnate and X Factor is like Skynet from the Terminator films. It seems year after year the conveyor belt churns out the same old same old.

It is interfering with your life whether you want it or not. And if what is interfering with your life isn't good or productive for you, it can be harmful. There are a lot of negative connotations to pop music that makes it harmful.

What would you suggest an alternative to pop music be?


Rock music is one that comes to mind.

I don't know, my parents forced me to listen to oldies and nothing else and I completely resent many "oldies" for that reason now. I also listened to ret*d rap music and the like in rebellion to my parents.

And Green Day is just pop-rock/punk. What is so deep and artistic about Green Day? I mean I like them and all, but I don't see the point you're trying to make. Are you saying kids should listen to classical, jazz, and opera?


I think one should listen to music because they enjoy it.......not to rebel, I mean I don't even see what is so rebellious about ret*d rap music...lots of people listen to it, its almost right up there with pop music.

As for Green Day sure they are pop-punk but I'd prefer them to the other crap because at least they've kinda got some creativity and a few decent songs........but I certainly would never consider them a real punk band.

Of course, it is difficult to be innovative with something that is as developed as music is. To come up with new types of music is more innovative than evolving it. However the effort may be the same with both. New music needs a lot of creativity and work to make something different and evolve it further. Which I really respect.


Why would new music always have to be 'different'? than older music I mean there is lots of new music I like that is not really some new style but rather bands still playing older styles of music but making new songs with it. Like Iron Maiden......still Heavy Metal even their latest album so it was 'new music' but heavy metal has been around for quite a while so the genre wasn't new.

I looked up four pop artists/groups and found that two of them actually write their own songs with help and two don't. One direction and Britney Spears don't write their own material. Lady Gaga and Christina Aguilera write their own songs. Good for them that write their own.


Well technically Pop music does refer to popular music.....it just so happens the popular music of today really sucks and seems to have a lot of simularities between bands. But in the 60's for instance what was referred to as 'pop' was largely rock not overproduced crap that is considered pop today.

+1. As pop music gets more synthetic, what used to be 'pop' in the past would be considered rock now. Pop is something that keeps getting update with recent technology and trends, and that's not always true for rock, as Sweetleaf mentioned before.

It's thanks to these harmless pop acts and pop labels that lesser known artists have trouble staying around and surviving financially, which basically causes radios and televisions to play only 0,000000000001% of the total signed and respected music around the whole world, because of financial and monopolistic reasons.

Back in the 90's MTV used to play videoclips of lesser famous genres like goa trance, drum & bass, industrial, idm, electro-bass, stoner metal, avant-garde, rhythmic noise for example...

Now it's all Lady Gaga, Justin Bieber, Beyonce, Katy Perry, Chris Brown, Kanye West "music".

MTV has become a soulless corpse of what it used to be. Seems that nowadays it's fake and scripted crap like Teen Mom, Super Sweet Sixteen or (god forbid), Geordie Shore. The charts in the UK are predictable as well, namely the one-dimensional RnB/Dance fusion crap that starts off an artists featuring another artists. Where's the frigging diversity?!?!?!

Love Russian pop. I do gotta say in general the Europeans got better taste in pop music than the Americans.

I consider them more alt. Rock than pop punk nowadays.

Yeah and their new album is supposed to be more power pop. It fits with Oh love but I don't know about Kill The DJ which is about christian fundamentalists.
