what sort of music first comes to mind when someone says pop + how old are you?
#this is so vague but i suddenly realised something#bc i was thinking about the origins of Popular Music in like the 40s and 50s and how the sound of that is entirely different to modern pop#but then it's such a weird genre bc it is just. what's popular. like it has no defining sound#it's just a mixture of whatever genre's are popular#e.g. in the 2000s there was a lot of guitar bc like pop punk emo and indie were big then#whereas in the 90s i feel it had more r&b and soul kind of influences#obviously not all of it but i guess just bc those were big genres in those decades#wait not Soul soul for the 90s but ykwim like. very Vocals kind of music. if that makes sense. idek#anyway. but yeah so it's a genre that doesn't really describe it's sound#so when a song you've never heard gets called pop surely nothing should come to mind? bc pop could be anything#but then i realised i do have a thing in my head of what ''pop'' sounds like#and it's like a kesha katy perry one direction type of sound. bc i grew up in the late 00s/early 10s. so of course that's what it is#but i bet if i ask my parents what pop sounds like to them it'd be different#and that is so fascinating to me idk why. music evolution autism mode has been fully activated#so if you read this hello thank you and also please lmk what you think pop sounds like + your age or generation or whatever#ramble
