Pop is music that is "hip" at the moment. Pop music like Hannah Montana, Pink, whatever new rapper the record industry is propping up this year(they have a new one every 9 or so months and then they vanish after their 1-hit wonder wears off), etc.

After all - where the hell is Solda Boy(sp?) now? Mims?

Pop rock is the one thing I really miss. If there is one style of music that has really been bastardized and compromised over the past 4 years - it's pop rock.

I mean we went from Fuel, 9 Days, Default, Vertical Horizon, 3 Doors Down, etc. to what? My Chemical Romance(who had 1 good song) and what? 2 other bands?

Green Day hasn't come out with an album in half-a-decade.

The Killers are still kicking it but I doubt their next album will be even close to the success of their last 2.

Rock is dying sadly. Or it's being beaten back to the underground - which is just as good as dying in terms of commercial and artistic viability.
