Between Michael Jackson raping children, and Depeche Mode lusting after 15 year old girls; we can safely rename this genre "pedocore."

what makes some artists work fall in the catalog of pop music and other's don't?

Then what genre would you call Charli XCX - Number 1 Angel

by modern definition, when commercialism takes precedence over expression or artistry

pop before the 1950s meant something a little different

Using the pop formula. Use of the same sounds/instruments/synths.

For example: "Chained to the Rhythm" by Katy Perry sounds a lot like Daft Punk and the Weeknd's recent songs together.

Yeah it is any song written in a simple format, probably designed for radio play. Usually contains verses and choruses or hooks.

That's a pretty harsh insult anon

that doesn't make "pop" more like a target market than an actual genre?

>>73694377
well take that and apply it to a few different genres I guess. But entire genres are based on it. I usually don't just say pop, unless I am specifically referring to like top 100 songs or something.

>>73694311
and those three doesn't sound like any pop song 10 years ago

If it has synth, rock, jazz and funk vibes imo
