Popmusic, by definition, is music that is deemed popular by a large audience of people (target audience is usually young people) which is circulated through the media and music industry mostly by the use of TV and radio. Exactly what makes popular music "popular" is difficult to determine. I personally believe that a majority of the popmusic that circulates within the music industry is heavily manufactured where certain artists are merely created by the industry rather than self generated and due to the fact that it is heavily advertised by the media people at a young age are more prone to listen to it which makes that music fall under the popmusic catergory, that is my assumption of what pop music is really about.
However, trying to understand the definition of popmusic can go either way, due to the fact that anything can theoretically be "popular" whether it's classical music, rock, punk, jazz ect, it's up to the listener.
Pretty good, but pop music is two words. LB
