Pop music in my eyes is music that is always in the public eye. Its music that has been hovering around the charts making a lot of money for artists and record labels, then very quickly moves onto the next phase similar to that of fashion or technology. However this slightly naive and narrow minded view has been created from growing up and watching 'Top of the Pops' on a Friday night where i always believed the 'cooler' bands would refuse to play.
However as time went on and I began to appreciate music more and more. It seems that my idea of pop music is focused towards all music, its difficult to put Artists under the pop music umbrella yet still i have a slight tendency to think that pop is a genre that follows the classic conventions of music to please the masses.

Not bad but lacking in any reference to the theorists mentioned in the lecture (and TOTP was on a Thursday night!).
