Pop music has progressed.

Pop belonged to more musical people in earlier times, but we've sort of gotten away from that. Now it's software people. I kind of feel like reclaiming it is in order.

Pop is the most competitive form of music there is. You are always fighting to be adopted and accepted by the masses, and it's always shifting.

Pop music can absorb so many peculiar talents, ranging from the completely nonmusical poseur who just uses music as a kind of springboard for a sense of style, to people who just love putting all that complicated stuff together, brick by brick, on their computers, to people like me who like playing conceptual games and being surprised.

The part of modern pop music I don't know much about is hip hop.

Pop music was supposed to be a flash in the pan, but here we are 50 years later and it means something to us, and it always will do. It's incredibly important.

Pop music has always been about the mainstream and what appeals to the public.

I am totally unapologetic about pop music.

I love pop music because you can really see what's currently happening in society.

There is a lot of snobbery towards pop music, to me and pop in general - it's kind of a despised art form.
