I think the pop chart today is entirely market-driven. And it has nothing to do with public taste. And it has nothing to do with moving music forward. It's simply a market chart.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I love pop music, but I feel like the genre is overpopulated - there was so much bubblegum for a while, but I feel like Sam Smith and Ed Sheeran are bringing good, real music back to the radio.
Pop music has progressed.
I see songs not as a commodity used up when the album goes off the charts, which is often the case with pop songs. I see them as a body of work. Life should be breathed into them.
In the future I think the labels on most pop music are going to go. Everyone keeps jumping into everyone else's space.
Pop comes from the word 'popular,' which means that it could be anything that appeals to any group of people. When you talk about general masses, I think there's elements in every kind of music that can reach a broad audience.
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.
Pop music has always been about the mainstream and what appeals to the public.
Pop music is a fashion, and fashions come and go. The public retires you as their tastes change.
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.
