my thoughts about pop.

popular music is marketed towards the masses... whether by the band themselves (making catchy songs right from the start) or (more often) by the record label. Tori Amos may have written songs that mean something to her, but they were released by the label because they knew they would make money off them.

people seem to think that if they like everything played on daytime radio that they have wide taste.. they think they like rock, indie, rnb, dance... they dont, they like pop. nothing wrong with that though people seem ashamed to admit that what they like is pop music.

i hate pop because its catcy and commercialised, its simplistic and easy to listen to - not my thing really.
