Exactly... Not fall out boy 😛 Sorry to take this out of the original Fall out boy thread where I am arguing my case, but people here have a better deffinition of pop...
No bass, i agree, and the lyrics are most indeedly cheesy.

Fall Out Boy are pop, regardless of whether you agree, they are a pop band.

Japanese pop

You took no notice of the "no bass/cheesy lyrics" comment. Thats a distinct feature of a pop song...

Who? Me or Mugen?

I'm the one who said that^. I never said that I like J-pop----I said its the only pop I can tolerate. Especially if the video has a fine chick in it. Or if I'm playin' DDR.

Noriko Sakai and Naoki 👆 naughty

No it isn't. Pop music has bass a lot of the time.

Michael Jackson, for example.

Modern pop has no bass. You could put it on a cell-phone and it sounds exactly the same.

Are you seriously suggesting that no modern pop song has bass in it?

I imagine I misunderstood, because that would be an idiotic thing to say.

There is bass in modern pop... but that doesn't mean it hits like todays R & B, Hip Hop and/or Rap.

There are exceptions to everything, but largely speaking modern bubble gum pop by girl/boy groups lack bass.

btw: I hope your not confusing rave/techno/dance with pop. They are purely for fast dancing and have HEAVY bass. Its also great to street race to.

Almost everything has bass in, whether you notice it or not, it's there.

Bit of an odd claim.

Tru dat, but its less prominent in some than in others. In the case of bubble gum--its almost non-existant. You really hafta crank it up to even hear it.

It's there though.

AC's right: whether you hear it or not, it's still there. It may be very faint, but it is indeed there.

Some pop I can handle, mainly pop from the 60's, 70's, 80's, and early 90's. I think most of them had talent, and weren't as manufactured, if at all, as the pop today. I mean, look at the Beatles, Micheal Jackson, etc? They were great when they were around, and there was no gemik.

So, to bring ourselves up to date- pop has bass in.

I'm still not entirely sure what constitutes pop music, so correct me if I'm wrong with any of these. I like Michael Jackson and Prince, of course, and if he does count as pop, Marvin Gaye. And more recently, Gorillaz, Goldfrapp and N.E.R.D. And John Legend's OK.

I like all of those save for N.E.R.D and John Legend.

I'd definitely say Goldfrapp have a lot of dancey pop elements.
