TockTockTock They/Them Join Date: Nov 2010 Posts: 1,914	"Good" Pop Is that an oxymoron? Is there truly any good pop out there? By "good," I mean complex/decent instrumentals and well-written lyrics. Artistic value that can be respected by people. I am in no way insulting another genre of music, I try to keep an open mind to music, but it has been very difficult for me to enjoy pop music. I used to doubt that punk had these elements and that all they did was get angry and play two or three chords, but I proved that a lie. So, can anyone help me on this topic? I'd take both old and new pop, but I really want to know about new pop (Cat Stevens and Sparks qualify as "pop," I guess, but I want to know more). - Thanks
