personally, i think its all garbage, but i believe those who listen to it do so for the addictive hooks peppered throughout the songs.

take "love story" by taylor swift; the tune featured in the "band hero" video game commercial. the song is over 4 minutes long, and although most of it is just background noise, it does pick up a bit when the chorus kicks in.

i envision soccer moms monotonously humming along to these pop songs while driving their mini-vans to and fro, but then singing at the top of their lungs when the hooks set in.

My theory is that taste varies from person to person.
People like pop music because they like it, at the same time you like Metal (or whatever you listen to) because you like Metal.

If you hate Pop Music so much why do you talk about it so much. What is it doing to you that is getting you all worked up. Do you feel like the genre's you listen aren't getting recognized or something? Because if you want them to get recognized that would make them Pop. The radio is not meant to play un-popular music. Most people nowadays listen to the radio while they are traveling in their cars. What most families want to hear is something bubbly and catchy. Obviously the radio makes money off ratings. And they are not going to play UNPOPULAR music.

Honestly people who say they don't like pop music in this forum(which is fine) don't even talk about it. You don't see them making threads such as this one. And Yes sometimes they post on threads that have to do with Pop (because it is their right) but they don;t get all worked up like you do because they aren't ignorant like you.

Music is music and it will not appeal to everyone. You don't have like every genre or listen to every genre to know or feel music.

And why should that matter. Music is music. If you like a song is because you like it. No one is forcing you to like it. It's not hurting no one. That's why I feel like your whining is pointless.

Is like you this saying to a person who has AIDS.
You: Why do you have AIDS?
Me: Because I do man now stop being so rude.
You: But why do have AIDS, what the hell has society come to, I have AIDS man but I got it in the 80's.
Me: Dude a disease is a disease.
You: But my disease is not as bad as yours!
Me: What?

My "metaphor" makes more since than your post big time.

Music isn't music. AIDS isn't AIDS. Does that really make sense?


And for your info, this board has acknowledge many meaningful and legendary bands and if this forum is not for you why haven't you left already.

trust me at any other music site more people would favor my opinion than yours.

by saying music is music you insinuated that all music is the same, and should be respected as such. thats just ridiculous.

what i meant by saying music isn't music is that i disagree with your above statement. i think even you could have figured it out had you thought about it for a few seconds.

THANK YOU HUN!!!!!!!

actually, i put a lot of stock in reviews. i read a ton of them before i purchase music. its why i rarely buy a dud album.

I am more of a man and a woman than you are bitch. (Classic Chris Crocker) CCC in your face bitch. I beat up people like you.

I would like to see links to your imaginary sites.

This is a forum BTW in case you don't know.
