Stop listening to popular music

Those men produced very popular music which is still listened to and referenced to this day.

Are you telling us not to listen to them?

>Being common houshold name and still having your music played and listened to many many years after your death != popular

>>72665127
>popular music isnt popular music

really gets those neurons firing

>>72665127
are you trying to say popular musicians do not necessarily have popular music? What then makes the musicians popular?

Popular music is music with wide appeal[1][2][3] that is typically distributed to large audiences through the music industry. These forms and styles can be enjoyed and performed by people with little or no musical training.[1]

It stands in contrast to both art music[4][5][6] and traditional or "folk" music. Art music was historically disseminated through the performances of written music, although since the beginning of the recording industry, it is also disseminated through recordings.

Traditional music forms such as early blues songs or hymns were passed along orally, or to smaller, local audiences.[4][5][6]

good job proving literally nothing, since classical music can still be described with the tag of being "popular"

>>72665290
All music is popular

>>72665310
even post-avant jazzcore?

>>72665290
yeah but if you knew anything about music history you wouldn't be calling it that. Only some very limited classical came anywhere near popular music

>>72665036
How about I NOT stop listening to genres I like because some asshole insists I should?
