Pop is mainstream, general music driven towards a younger generation with emphasis on romantic love

What about bands like The Beach Boys, The Beatles, and Animal Collective?

PoP is also the noise a tire makes when it is violently punctured... hehehehehe...


I honestly consider "pop" to be anything that has become "popular" - its just a shortened version of the word to make it easier to say...

I mean we have pop art, pop psychology, pop poets.... its kinda like a little defining term that says "this is popular and well known"...

The Beatles are the best definition of pop.

Wrong.

Pop has a defined sound. Its vocal centric music that makes heavy use of simplicity and big chorusses (the catchy part of the song).

As for Beach Boys, is surf-pop a genre?
