Pop music seems to cover every style of shallow genericism from slow and sultry love songs to upbeat dance tracks. Everybody knows what pop music sounds like, but why is it such a nebulous, catch-all genre? Best I can tell, half of it is Nu Disco (like Michael Jackson), and the other half is "Singer-Songwriter" (Taylor Swift and tha Sappy Bunch), which is the most bullshit genre name in all existence, as that would make classic rock, p4k-core and folk music all fall under "Singer-Songwriter".
Who the fuck let a genre be so devoid of subgenre categories to help you weed out the BS music you don't want in the first place?

Everything that's not classical or traditional folk is popular music.

>What even defines Pop?
it accessible
it's one of those terms whose definition nobody seems to agree on
Is Skrillex patrician? If so what is his most patrician song or album?
>>71077337
>Is Skrillex patrician?
no.
>>71077337
You bet he is, everyone hates on him just to follow the herd. It takes a true patrician to see past the sheeple and enjoy the beautiful rhythmic motion of his sonic landscapes.
/Mu/ I am new to rock n roll what is the best Pixies album
Pic related
The best Pixies album is considered to be doolitle, while Tromp le monde is still really good as well.
In fact, their first four are all really good, but then they kind of dropped off in their most recent two
Doolittle>surfer>trompe= pilgrim>bossanova
Imo. Bossanova is still good though.
You should try Doolittle or Bossanova first, imo

My friend just started a band (they are not good and prob never will be). Anyways, he said he is stuck between naming the group Monkey See, Monkey Do and Pill Washer.
I feel very strongly that Monkey see, Monkey do is lame and gay. Pill Washer is better in every way.
so /mu/ Pill Washer or Monkey See, Monkey Do?
>>71076827
lol, neither are remotely good.
call it Monkey See, Monkey Do and Pill Washer
long names are cool
>>71076827
wtf is a pill washer, if you wash pills they disintegrate?
>The longest song on the album is the worst one
>album has songs on it
>>71076810
If you're using The Stooges' self-titled as an example you're wrong. We Will Fall is actually one of the best on it.
>longest song on the album is the best one
And no, I'm not talking about this new utter shit that's Top 40 sung with an accent. I mean actual, real Country like George Jones, Randy Travis, Charlie Pride, Waylon Jennings, David Allan Coe, Hank Williams and Bocephus, Marty Robbins, Alabama, The Judds, Vern Gosdin, etc.
The stuff is actually quite good.
agreed oh pee
dissent will be met with a cattle prod
theres pretty frequent threads on Gunfighter Ballads
But I don't hate country..
Little big town - better man
Josh Turner - hometown girl
Luke Bryan - fast
There is really good stuff in country now a days.
There has never and will never be a better band than radiohead.
