Oh, honey.

Why do you people have this crippling fear of identifying the music you like as "pop". It is. Is it experimental, classical or traditional? Nope. Just get over it. There's nothing wrong with pop.

Nick Cave made another album.
Beyonce had people make an album for her.
Leonard Cohen made a good album.

Pop has two meanings: one as popularity and one as a style of music similar to music that is popular.

Nick Cave encompasses neither of these definitions.

Yes he does.

You seriously think Nick Cave is inaccesible, don't you.

Skeleton Tree was decent
YWID was all right
Lemonade was fucking awful

>>68746219
Reverse that and I agree.

You do know that it is possible to create accessible music that isn't pop music?

Popular does not equal 1/15 of your acquaintances will know him popular means 1/15 will NOT know him

Just because he s not so underground you don't know anyone else who listens to him does that mean that he is now pop

And why are we saying "he" it's a band honey

>>68746384
Sure. But Skeleton Tree is neither jazz nor classical so it's a pointless thing to bring up.

>>68746419
Is popularity the measurement here? Because I guarantee you more of my acquaintances know Nick Cave than Post Malone.

>And why are we saying "he" it's a band honey
Sure. Just like The Fall, Wings, The Divine Comedy, Gladys Knight and the Pips. Just like those bands.

YOUR acquaintances are probably not as varied as MY acquaintances or most normies so... the fact that YOUR ACQUAINTANCES know Nick cave more doesnt surprise me as they are probably more homogenous of a group which is typical of a /mu/tant due to their more introverted nature
