I don't understand

>>73975415

So you would describe drone as pop music?

>>73975491
It'd be described as popular music. All pop music falls under popular music but not all popular music falls under pop music, in the same way that all addition is math but not all math is addition.

>>73975491
You could have drone art music, and some folk music has drone elements, ie. indian folk.

How is drone popular music?

Pop is popular music

>>73975491
yes, if it wasn't one of the above. it all depends on the content.

>>73975466
There's avant-garde that falls under art music and that's a flawed description of folk.

Go read a book

That doesn't answer my question. Tell me how drone is inherently popular music?

>>73975784
I'm not here to answer your questions, I'm here to call you a retard.. Your question could be answered with a quick look in literally any music encyclopedia or even a google search but yet you persist. You are on a board for music. Your ignorance about the most basic facets of the artform is stunning. Go read a book.

Folk music is to carry tradition.
Popular music has commercial value
Art music has direct academic value

This is reductionist, but esssentially correct
