Thanks.
Gosh, my previous post was mainly meant to address a comment made by Floydman, I just restated my general feeling about pop music to put that post in context. I know you've heard it already...

Oh and I actually did listen to a lot of pop music with an unbiased ear. But the more I listened to it, the more I couldn't stand it and the more I got convinced of my original stance that pop music (in general) lacks artistic merit. My weak and ill-considered non-argument? My statements are full of shit? Well that's just your opinion, pal. In fact I have given numerous arguments to support my opinion 10 pages ago or so (but you probably didn't even bother to read them), whereas you (and all the others disagreeing with me) haven't been able to come up with any convincing counterarguments that made me feel the need to revise my stance...

No Reth, I also post in other threads (duh...)

Then, I suspect you were not listening with a an unbiased ear.

I'm far from alone in my opinion, pal.

I followed this thread quite closely, and you all but ignored many arguments from many people, including myself and Nikolas (who had some great posts).

You're musically prejudiced and can't see through the fog of your own bigotry. Someday, when you grow as a listener, you'll get through it...

I would be brief: sometimes I compose some parts in my songs which have the pop cahracteristics in terms of melodies and stuff like that and I could get told anything, that it is not nice or whatever but I would get well mad if accused of being the creator of "fast-music" which I did not neither care nor feel.

Don`t like it? Don`t listen to it!
Teens listen to it so does that change anything to you?

Or maybe YOU need to grow as a listener in order to see that most pop music lacks artistic merit.

Ok, let's close the case.

Maybe you'll grow up as a human and realize white people are the one true race...wait I mean...

Seriously if growing up is finding out that something really sucks, you got one messed up view of growing up.

There is a difference between realizing you do not like a style of music and that style having not to offer musically. Don't confuse the two.

Hey guys, I have idea.

Let's post Youtube videos and links to our favorite "pop"/non-classical/jazz music! I'll start, I'm a big Regina Spektor fan.

YouTube - Regina Spektor - Fidelity


I win, Gianluca! Your thread will now be filled with great pop musicians.
