There is nothing wrong with calling Pop Music simple. It's not so simple where is the repetitiveness gets annoying but then it's not so complicate where the song develops like art music or a psychedelic freakout - baby. I don't mind if people brush it off because the artist is irritating or a particular song is irritating. But if it's groovy people should dig it man, brushing off for no reason isn't cool baby you dig like freak out man.
