Popping My Imaginary Bubble

      Topic of the day: pop music. Pop music today is very influential in our lives. This music gets us through our issues with our family or our love life. People find the music of today refreshing or at sometimes scary. Artists evolve and shift the way they make their music and we as the listeners are left in the wake to pick up the pieces and hop on the train or run the heck away.

         The idea of pop music is simple, by popular demand. Popular demand in the music world just means how much people want to be entertained by you. Artists like Justin Bieber or One Direction are popular and very much in demand by 99% of the female teenage population. These artist are rolling in the bank whether by sold out tours or record breaking record sales. These are the artists most seen on the pop music scene.

           The idea of pop music is essentially what makes us, the consumers interested in the artists. Often times songs become overplayed and people get tired of them and want something new. People have favorite artists that are always their go to artists and these artists have much stress put onto them. For example, Miley Cyrus. This pop star started off on Disney and grew into this new edgier sensation that is taking the world by storm. Her new music is very much a grown up version of her old self. We ask why would she make such a dramatic change from her old music. Easy, she wants to keep people talking about her. There is a science to pop music marketing and the stars are the ones who have figured it out for themselves. 

             Pop music has become a shell that we live in. Surrounded by all of these changing and emerging artists, we as consumers are left to deal with the aftermath. But this is what we live for. To see our favorite artists rise and fall. Pop music is a mirror image of ourselves. We create what we want to see for people and in tire the artists are brought to the conclusion, we as humans are pop music because popular music is us..for now Asian out!!!!
