Isn't POP music ALL music, POPular is such a broad genre now that I think its hard to tell the diffrence.......let me know what you think!

All the Genre's started as something quite different then they are now really.

Pop isn't pop in the sense of POP-ular anymore.

 

It is hard to tell the difference, there are various discussions that arise from time to time. The Feeling now are they indie or pop?

 

Welcome to Buzzjack :D

Hmm..yes, pop is such a broad word now, they use it for any music that's popular..I cringe when they put Enya there. :P Pop to me would be Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, Celine Dion..

theres pop music, the broad genre, and pop which has evolved to mean the three minute no-brainer jingle.

 

as an oldie pop was all music by the younger generation. the feeling, mcfly, muse, would all have been called pop groups.

 

odd?.. maybe but in the 60's the beatles, stones, cream, were all in the same bracket as the seekers, hermans hermits, dave dee dozy beaky mick and tich ('cool' groups had no seperation from the nursery rhyme no-brainers) .... all 'pop groups'.

the guardian have recently noted:

 

It's both funny and revealing that the Killers wrote Glamorous Indie Rock & Roll to poke fun at the snooty, ascetic independent scene in their native Las Vegas, only to find that British audiences, for whom post-Oasis indie is simply pop music with guitars, embraced it as a cheerfully unironic anthem. Useful though they are for those charged with racking or reviewing records, genres are foggy, amorphous things open to countless individual interpretations. If you want to know the definition of fruitless, just try establishing a watertight distinction between rock and pop.

 

----------------------

 

Finally, as if in response to all the above, Denim's Middle of the Road dismisses the entire classic-rock canon, moving from the deadpan slaughter of sacred cows towards a stirring call to chart your own path through musical history: a persuasive reminder that genre distinctions are merely a map, not a destination.

correctly as the guardian have stated, there is no such thing as a 'pop music genre' meaning one redgidly defined set of musical rules. as everything is postpostmodern and ecclectic with genres bleeding into each other and influencing other styles of music, with everything retro being of the now due to sync deals etc, and everything five minutes ago being vintage due to rapid change of celeb culture.

 

best thing to do is forget about a kinda 'well its this genre or that genre mentality' and think about demographics. tbh rock and pop and indie are kinda the same thing, but obv if your one of the indie kids ya gonna be looking down on pop for being rubbish :lol: :lol: and not real. obv manufactured with the 'wheels of business' powering the release being much more explicit than in indie.

 

best is to list certain acts together an aim them at a certain type. know everyone is not gonna comform to a stereotype (just as genres dont conform) but i think this is what marketing peeps do when launching a 'brand', whether it be a new act or compilation album.

It is hard to tell the difference, there are various discussions that arise from time to time. The Feeling now are they indie or pop?

 

i would say neither. its more adult contemporary (Middle of the road pop) as it the type of thing that gets played to death on radio 2 and commercial radio

Same as all forms of what is now classed as Urban (Hip-Hop Rap R&B)

 

It was once classed as Soul. (Atlantic, Stax, Philly & Motown stables, R&B, Funk etc.)

 

Garage is another. 5 years ago garage was a form of urban. Back in the late 60s garage was a form of rock. This genre later became known as indie.

 

Even fashion has come full circle but had their names changed.

Such as BOOTCUT jeans & trousers. In the 70s they were called FLAIRS, in the 60s they were called BELLBOTTOMS.

this is the Paradise Garage in New York, along with the Warehouse in Chicago it is mecca in dance music terms.

 

the terms 'Garage' and 'House' come from these clubs.

indie is not just garage rock it is generally a certain alternative/independent culture that can also be very very very twee.

the terms 'Garage' and 'House' come from these clubs.

 

thats bollox m8.

 

dunno about the origins of 'house', but 'garage' certainly refered to the bands that rehersed in their dads garage! as simple as that! many of these guitar based rock/pop acts were signed up in the late 70's by the new 'indie' record labels, the late 70's post punk mentality in music was to look for fresh raw talent. 'garageland' became quite a culture and even had its own chart in the nme by the very early 80's.

 

so that info is simply wrong tigerdude, the term garage did not originate in a new york club, it originated literaly in peoples back gardens and is i believe a uk phenomena.

thats bollox m8.

wasnt talking about garage rock.

 

just talking about garage as in dance/disco music as in UKG (not to be confused with UGK obv), two-step, 4x4, dubstep, Craiiiiiiiiiiiiiiig David, mj cole all that stuff but also in the american term Garage which is listed with Deep House, Techno, Ten City (i think), adeva etc etc

origins of house:

 

Origins of the name

There is a great deal of controversy surrounding the origins of house music. In the late 1970s and early 1980s, underground warehouse parties became popular among the teenagers living in the area. One of these underground spots, attended primarily by gay black men 2, became known as "The Warehouse". The resident DJ at The Warehouse, Frankie Knuckles, mixed classic disco, European synthpop, new wave, industrial and punk recordings. Club regulars referred to his mixes as house music.

 

Others, including Larry Heard, aka "Mr. Fingers," claim that the term "house" reflected the fact that many early DJ's created music in their own homes, using simple equipment such as synthesizers and drum machines, including the Roland TR-808, TR-909 and the TB 303 "Bassline". These machines became known as the "Acid Machines," and were used to create the "Acid House" sound.

 

It has been argued that Chip E., in his early recording "It's House" defined this new form of electronic music. However, Chip E. himself claims the name came from methods of labelling records at the Imports Etc record store, where he worked at in the early 1980s. Music that DJ Knuckles played at the Warehouse nightclub was labelled "As Heard At The Warehouse", which was shortened to simply "The House".

 

 

 

nothing to do with rock in that case

 

btw do you know this:

nope... lol

 

i actually quite liked uk garage (recent stuff) which is unusual as i prefer 'big' productions as oposed to the lightweight sounds of uk garage.

nope... lol

 

he does a chart and article about garage (the American rock type :lol:) in Billboard most weeks

i used to love garage, when it was more dance based, around its peak time, 1997-2002. Now its evolved into a more urban sound, grime, which is c**p.
