To each his or her own. MCR is emo - so that's why I don't dig hem.

And you're correct, my error, I meant the Killer's 4th album.

They play Oasis on the Radio all the time, but that doesn't make it Pop Music

Ouch, MCR, emo?
They're pop/rock if you ask me. Older stuff may count as pop-punk, but not in any way is MCR emo.
CaP'n Jazz, At The Drive-In, Circle Takes The Square, are emo bands.

[QUOTE=jnova;577994]Pop is music that is "hip" at the moment. QUOTE]

Pop is definately not what is "hip" - it is almost the opposite.Pop is music that is relatively non offensive, to the general public.It has gained a significant following in the given stylised music format that has a proven commercial selling appeal.If based around a rock group it is called Pop rock.It usually has an up tempo rhythm & generally got a strong hook in the chorus to draw the listener in.

"Hip" is when you are familiar with or informed about the latest ideas, styles, developments, etc.When they become pop they loose their hippness.There must be a selective incrowd for it to be hip.

Out of interest what is hip at the moment.Emo isn't because it has been around too long.Disco-punk (as opposed to dance-punk - which was part of the goth scene) seems to be something that is something I hadn't heard of until recently.Perhaps it is what commercial organisations are trying to push onto people to create a hip culture ??

Just checked it's been around since the early 2000's (not hip, also) but New rave is a new off shot ??

Any other new "hip" things happening.

toughie. most people see pop as as the definition of shiny, commercial-often crap- music. But then I think someone like The Cribs (who's music is basically catchy melodies and -oh-oh-oh-oh chorus's) make pop music, despite the fact their music sounds like it was recorded in a shed

Oasis are most definitely pop. The genre they were a part of was called "britpop" for a reason.
