I've never believed that pop music is escapist trash. There's always a darkness in it, even amidst great pop music.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Pop music for me was definitely escapist, but never studious.
There is a lot of snobbery towards pop music, to me and pop in general - it's kind of a despised art form.
Music can be a source of escapism.
All music is escapism for me, but I like the way that, on a good night, that sense of escapism can be shared.
I love pop music because you can really see what's currently happening in society.
Pop music has always been about the mainstream and what appeals to the public.
I am totally unapologetic about pop music.
I think people who just know me from my band think I don't like pop music. The truth is I love pop music.
I think that you have to bear in mind that music is about escape, and it's not unreasonable to think the music business would be based around escapism.
Music is escapism, it's entertainment.
