Pop music and your opinion about it.

Popular music and pop music are not the same thing. Popular music can include many rock, rap, R&B, and jazz artists from different periods, not just pop. Pop music, on the other hand, is a specific genre of music that originated in the West, and certain principles were developed in the West upon which this music, like any other genre, is based. Over time, they have, of course, undergone changes; pop music is also different in various regions, plus, pop music is influenced by the most popular music of the moment, but the essence is always the same. DDT and Nightwish are definitely not pop music; however, the latter group can be considered popular music (I think DDT's popularity these days is somewhat questionable... but I don't want to argue, I don't know). I think that anyone who discovers the diversity and richness of music as an art form is unlikely to stop at pop music; rather, it is an initial stage in exploring music. After all, pop music is often listened to by people who are not particularly discerning about music, who put on the radio in the background, and watch various concerts on television a few times a year in honor of various holidays... I myself mixed completely different music in my playlists, including pop, just over a year ago, although I listened to music very little then... Now, as they say, "it's not interesting anymore," "I'd prefer something heavier:cool:". P.S. Meg beat me to it :)
