Will Pop ever come back?

very easilly! havnt you seen pop try to crack on to hip hop? 🙄 dr, youve been missing out on the latest news again!

No, I realize people call pop gay, but 50 cent mumbling about Boyzone being gay doesn't make it true 😉

*cough* i was kidding!

oh 😮

😛

50 Cent is rap first of all. so 😛

50 cent is Pop IMHO...i dont consider pop a genre....its all the top 40 stuff...mainstream is usually called pop simply for that reason...Pop is never about innovation...its always a sound that people like and other groups copy n modify...

Well, IMO, Pop will come back when people are sick and tired of the R&B, hip-hop, rock craze that's going on right now. It's always that way.. when people get bored of something, they go back to something they liked before and feel like it's something new, and when they get tired of that they switch back.

How is rock a craze? Rock has been around for decades longer than todays crappy electro-pop. Hip-hop isnt a craze either, its just at the moment pop 'musicians' have a fixation on trying to immitate it. And there is no R&B in the charts right now. There hasn't been for years.

Well whatever you know what I mean, it's obvious that hip hop is big compared to before and I'm just saying that it won't be this big FOREVER. Other genres, including pop, will have their chance to come back.

Actually, pop is the big thing right now... Sure, they call it "R&B", but it's pop. There is nothing "blue" about modern "R&B". Same with mainstream hip hop... It's not real hip hop. Rock isn't in right now... Pop rock is in. Real rock, alternative rock, was in during the 90's.

The thing about pop is, the definition of it changes over time. I don't believe that crappy electro-pop, as Deathblow described it, will ever come back. During the 60's, the stuff we now think of as "oldies" was considered pop. It's constantly changing.

o when i ment pop, i ment like, boy band pop, brittney spears pop, like during the late 90s, not top 40 mainstream, cause that is all genres

and yes, michael jackson rules

I have to agree. Pop music is essentially whatever's popular right now. Whatever is charting. But why is it that what's charting is so weak and lifeless. Devoid of any REAL feeling. What happened to all the great song writers?

I mean, I've been a DJ for 17 years. Not saying that what I started listening to was much better, but with time, I've been forced to look back beyond my DJ years to find anything of substance. What's up with that?

saying that pop is whatever is popular now isn't true.

nirvana was never pop music, neither was led zeppelin. And they were both the biggest bands in the world at thier times. maybe it started by being what was popular, but it evolved into a genre of music that is relatively inoffensive, everyone can get into and is generally upbeat.

pop will be back, it always comes back like rock always comes back. it goes in cycles.

If a band WANTS to score hits and rule the charts and does, then IMO thats pop music.

Nirvana didnt want to score hits and rule the charts. So not pop music.

Theres a difference between pop music and popular music IMO.

pop has already made it back with bands like: good charlotte, simple plan, avril lavigne, new found glory, etc. etc. hip hop has been re-enventing itself so that more people like it, rap is just the same over-sexed druggies trying to make music. rock has progressively gotten a new sound. rock used to be raunchy and about a freedom to get away from the real world and use your opinions, now most bands are making music just so they can be POPular for a few months. so therefore pop has comeback. untill bands like korn, system of a down, and all ozzfest bands can make even heavier music, im listening to the old stuff.
