More people than who listen to our pop.

Although, pop is just generally hated.
Anyone who isn't a young teen usually prefers the underground stuff.

No offense, and please no flack for saying young teens prefer pop, its a generalization not targeted at the whole just the immature >.>

i'd include you in the immature my friend
pop is a lot of fun to listen to, and there actually is, gasp, artistry in some of it.
it's really easy to hate because it's really easy to look cool hating it. i understand that, dude. the girls at school will find you very cool. ;)

I know i am :(
Some of it
The 'its easy to hate'/''Your doing it to look cool' argument doesn't work because the vast majority of people like it, thats why its POP
The girls are the ones that like it the most lol

The only Pop that I really ever got into was from the King of Pop himself!

Lady Gaga fans? Check out Little Boots - somewhat similar but she's great. I think she actually opened for Gaga on a tour

Cee Lo's coming out with a new album! And this song is amazing! you'd think, because of the title, it would sound like really mad or something. but just the opposite. And it works to great effect!!
Maybe not really pop as much as soul but whatever.
I see you drivin' 'round town with the girl I love and I'm like, "**** you!" Oo oo oo!

I really enjoy Maroon 5's music. Sometimes considered rock, sometimes pop, but it's nearly always good in my opinion.

Also, agreeing with monstahr, pop is a very broad genre. It includes rock to rap and everything in between. That's why you get such a diverse selection of songs in this genre. You see songs that are similar to rock, some similar to rap, some with both, and some songs that are totally different.

And, I'm sorry Bremnen, but many, many people enjoy pop. How is pop generally hated when the top 100 is densely populated with pop songs?

That sounds like a good idea, let's judge a song's popularity by its place in the charts. :rolleyes: The charts are meaningless nowadays. Also, pop means popular, and therefore pop is always going to be in the top 100, because the top 100 is a list of popular songs.

I admit that some pop is genuinely good music, but an awful lot of it is just manufactured rubbish.

You completely miss the point of what piggabling is trying to say. If pop is popular, how can it be "generally hated"? It seems generally popular to me. Brenmen has contradicted himself, though. In one post, pop is generally hated. In another, he tried to tell us how he's edgy because pop is generally liked and he hates it.

Why would you go to such lengths to make fun of pop music in a Pop Music Appreciation thread if it wasn't to give yourself a pretense of superiority? People can like complex music and upbeat pop at the same time. Unless you want to lie to yourself.

Thats NOT Rock, and the 'Rap' is stupidly fake.
Top 100 means fans voted for it on the website, people who don't listen to pop don't care enough to go vote it down and you don't get a choice to vote for anything NOT pop so of course its all going to be pop. :rolleyes:
Pop,post 1994, means anything written and formulated to what the label thinks will apeal to young teens. The people performing this junk have almost no ability or drive, they just do it for a pay check. Real rock and real rappers never see the charts these days, no matter how good they are. If you listen to rock from 1959-1980 you'd know that whats on tv is artificial bs and the rappers are so fake its insane. Since when have rappers become these illiterate, girly looking guys, from the suburbs? What happened to guys from the streets rapping about getting out of the ghetto and bettering themselves? The stuff they're selling to kids these days is all rich posuers who've always got what they want and never experienced hard times. REAL RAPPERS DONT USE SYNTHESIZERS.
REAL(male, duh :p) ROCKERS DONT SOUND LIKE GIRLS(no offense)

Its generally hated because the MAJORITY of the GENERAL population is not young teenagers that don't take the time to look for music.
It seems popular because they don't show anything else. If they don't give the youth options, of course their going to listen to this **** and like, except for the ones who look for the underground/old stuff.
Oh yes, thsts EXACTLY what im doing, trying to act SUPERIOR :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes: flameflameflameflameflameflameflameflameflame :/
