'Pure pop'? What is that though?

'Common People' by Pulp is very very pop. Some might even say 'pure pop'. Yet that has a whole lot of meaning. A bit cold. But that's part of the point.

Then again, by 'pure pop' you probably mean manufactured, watered down, annoyingly catchy. In which case, fair enough.

It's all relative anyway. And therefore, all relatively good.

thanx this helped a lot!

Pop goes into pleasing other people rather than expanding the music
Rap is an artform

Pop is not a talent field. Rap and hip hop is. They're arts. Pop's just dumb.

Jes pretty much explained it man..Hip Hop And Pop Are Too Different Things Man..The Peeps On Television Just Don't No What Their Talking About..
