Because the pop industry is cruel, if you don't do everything the label wants you to do, it has an army of other people waiting to do it.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The music industry is a strange combination of having real and intangible assets: pop bands are brand names in themselves, and at a given stage in their careers their name alone can practically gaurantee hit records.
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.
The pop world is cool, but I never really thought of myself as part of it or wanting to be a part of it because I'm on a label that's not really like that. They're not trying to dress me up, they're not trying to do things like that. I feel like I'm sort of separate from that, actually.
Pop music has greater power to change people and to affect people because it's a universal language. You don't have to understand music to understand the power of a pop song.
What's missing from pop music is danger.
A lot of pop music is based on trying to make people remember it so that they'll buy it. To me, it was not about that.
I'm still looking for the rules of what is and isn't pop music. I'm pop. I mean, of course I am. What isn't pop? There should be a pop amnesty where everyone reclaims it.
It was the business that made Pop go away, not our inability to create.
Pop music allows you to be who you are without having to wear a social uniform or to conform, which some people find impossible to do.
Pop music is a fashion, and fashions come and go. The public retires you as their tastes change.
