pop.

So today we had this discussion about what pop is and why isn’t pop important and why everyone was talking and laughing during our backstreet boy’s presentation.  First, I think that people were probably talking and laughing just out of the memories we have with that music and with the boy band era in general.  I mean let’s face it, we all grew up with it, and I’m pretty sure I can safely assume that most of us were boy bandloving kids.  I know that I was and I laugh whenever I hear the backstreet boys again just because I was basically obsessed with them and I just think it’s funny that I was that like in love with them at one point.  I think that’s probably why everyone was laughing, not because they thought it was horrible, although I’m sure most people do.  I personally don’t think it’s that bad of music, I mean yes they didn’t write the songs themselves and there really are no real instruments in the music, but it’s still music and it was still extremely famous.  And come on, how can something be that famous if it wasn’t good? even if it was just the tiniest bit good, there still had to be something there to make them sell all those records and to make all those teen girls swoon.  So clearly there is something to pop music.
