Pop music could include elements of rock, hip hop, reggae, dance, R&B, jazz, electronic, and every now and then folk music and numerous other styles. Pop music performers typically make use of state-of-the-art technology and recording studios to achieve the sound they want, and record producers could have a heavy influence. Pop music generally uses a easy, memorable melody and emphasizes the rhythm, generally with syncopation, and stripped down to a standard riff or loop which repeats throughout much of the song. Pop music is generally criticized for being overly easy and repetitive.
Popular
Popular music is music belonging to any of a number of musical styles that are accessible to the general public and are disseminated by one or more of the mass media. Popular music is music that isn’t something else ( generally ‘folk’ or ‘art’ music). Popular music is associated with (produced for or by) a specific social group. Popular music is disseminated by mass media and/or in a mass market. Popular music is furthermore rarely entirely instrumental. Popular music isn’t really about ‘being heard’, but rather about ‘being heard again’; and ‘being heard again and again and again’ is what really popular music is really about. Pop is contemporary music and a common type of popular music (distinguished from classical or art music and from folk music).
The term popular music does not refer especially to a single genre or sound, and its meaning is divergent depending on the time and place. Within popular music, “pop music” is generally distinguished from other sub genres by stylistic traits such as a danceable rhythm or beat, easy melodies and a repeating structure. The expansive  appeal of pop music is seen to distinguish it from more specific types of popular music, and pop music performers and recordings are among the perfect -selling and most expansive ly known in a lot of regions of the world. The development of recording methods is seen as a major influence on the sound of pop, distinguishing it from classical music and jazz, as well as from some types of popular music which could seek a more “natural” sound.
Album
In the recorded music era, the single (a single song) and the album (a collection of songs ) are the usual methods of distributing pop music. Notable highlights for pop music in the 1980s are Michael Jackson’s second Epic label release, Thriller, which went on to become the perfect -selling album of all time. Jackson has been the most successful performer of the 80s, spanning nine #1 singles in the United States alone during that decade, and selling over 133 million copies with only two albums — Thriller, and its follow-up Bad.
Pop music in the 1980s has been heavily influenced by an electronic sound with synthesizers and drum machines, and dance type music. Pop music, on the other hand, has primarily come into usage to describe music that evolved out of the rock ‘n roll revolution of the mid-1950’s and continues in a definable path to today. Pop music could range from the highly creative, iconoclastic or virtuosic to easy and downright dumb.

Country Western (CW) Music?

This is a individual opinion and for that reason, I do not want any hate mail from Country Western (CW) audiences, which I know are fanatical and omnipresent. I do have my preferred s, from a chauvinistic man’s point of view. I think that Shania Twain and Faith Hill are sexy and I enjoy several of their videos plus some of their songs. But is it because they’re large country western stars? No way. I’ve a problem listening to most of the Country Western (CW) stuff because it all is beginning to sound the same. I can’t tell a Randy Travis, Tim McGraw, Toby Keith or Alan Jackson song apart if my life depended on it.
I grew up on the Jersey shore and a lot of of you could, for that reason, think I am unqualified to make such a judgment. But hold on. I’ve spent the final 30 years in Arizona. Does it get more country or western than that? You know, the home of Tombstone, Wyatt Earp, and where the ‘Little House on the Prairie’ has been filmed.
So I am a transplant with an attitude. Don’t get me wrong, because I’ve given it a try. My late wife has been from West Virginia and, during her mid-life crisis, began playing Country Western (CW) music continuously for five years.  we  had all the CD ’s, radio stations on preset, and even watched the Country Western (CW) awards on TV. I could recognize all the large names, the latest hits, and who has been new to the scene. Through it all, I really tried to enjoy the sound, for her sake. But, eventually, I wandered back to my classic rock and roll, jazz, or blues.
I play the harmonica and keyboard and have oodles of sheet music. I’ve attempted to play a few of the recent Country Western (CW) popular numbers, but to no avail. I’ve several of the older Country Western (CW) classics that have crept into mainstream by Johnny Cash and Ernie Ford, but they are few and far betwixt. The current songs have become a formula that is fodder for Jeff Foxworthy and his ilk. According to people like him, it goes like this:
You start with a sad premise. You’ve lost your: (fill in the blank) i.e., girl, dog, choose up truck. They were your 1st : love, companion, way of freedom. You remember their: smiles, wagging tail, leather seats. You wish you could, once again, feel their: hair, fur, gun rack. You really miss their: smell, smell, smell. You would do anything to get them back: tell her you love her, rub her cute little tummy, (or did I’ve those reversed?) hose her engine compartment. While you’re waiting for them to return, you’ll have to: do your own laundry, fetch your own paper, walk to the liquor store. In other words, it’s not a pretty sight.
So that is my gripe with Country Western (CW). They vary the harmony, the lyrics and the tempo, but the message is obvious. I yearn for a total vary of pace where I could get my ‘Satisfaction’ or ‘Light My Fire.’ But I furthermore have troubles with Hip-Hop, Rap, and Grunge. So, let’s say I’ve got issues and be done with it. And, to all you Country Western (CW) lovers out there, stick with your music and do not let a basher like me vary your tune, pardoning the pun. And did I mention the two things I do like about Dolly Parton?
