Pop Music
How do YOU define POP MUSIC? Is there even a general consensus?
In a historical sense, Pop(ular) Music is defined as the opposite of classical music and is just, well, popular at the time it was written.
But I see alternate meanings. Among them are:
Pop music has universal meaning, which makes the lyrics easier to relate to.
Pop music has simple melodies that very memorable to the listener.
Pop music is merely a genre, like rock or hip-hop.
What does POP mean to you?
There are a couple of uses for it and to an extent there has to be a context to back it.
The way it is most commonly used on this site (though it is put into a context that would lead one to believe someone is talking about an actual genre) is to speak of actual popular music. Much like a kiosk at a book store that holds all of the best sellers, regardless of where they would be filed within the store if they weren't a part of the best sellers grouping. This construct of pop can hold rap, R&B, rock, whatever. The funny thing is that people refer to it like there is an actual genre classification that bonds Eminem, the Jonas Brothers, Madonna, the Black Eyed Peas, and Coldplay.
There is a pop genre though. This is basically what Michael Jackson brought to prominence and is carried on by artists like Justin Timberlake. That sort of dancey R&B that takes bits and pieces from all over the sort of sphere of popular music, I suppose that's how it ended up with a title as ambiguous as "pop" but there is a sound that binds it. Basically, dancey R&B with elements of modern rock scattered in.
There is also pop as in an adjective. Paul McCartney has been said to be the best weaver of "pop tunes" in rock and roll history. Elton John and Billy Joel also come to mind. These artists that write appealing, generally structurally formulaic (but not to necessarily be confused with simple), "hook-y," catchy tunes. A while back I came to the band I was in and said "check out this pop tune I wrote" and I was referring to a sort of light, catchy tune, Radio friendly.
I use all three, depending on the context.

Music plays a big role in people's lives these days. Whether they are fans of hip hop, country, pop, or rock, there is something out there for everyone. One of the best ways for a person to find music of choice is to use a free mp3 search engine. These websites give people the ability to see what is new or to look for something specific.
While using a portable music player may seem to be most suited to young people, music lovers of all ages are now finding uses for places that can allow them to search for and explore music. Whether they have a personal music player or have that capability inbuilt on their phones, they are searching for the music they love.
Some people even like to search youtube videos for their music. Watching music that way can be fun or a moving experience. Sometimes when there are images set to the music of a song, it takes on a new meaning. There may be particular songs on that website that people like and want to be able to watch offline as well. In that case, they may opt to download youtube videos to save on their hard drive and watch again during leisure time.
Using a free mp3 search engine can help people find music of the specific genre that interests them, and indulge in free mp3 songs downloads. Instead of going from site to site trying to find the music they want, it is much more convenient for them to be able to just type the song into one website that will then search several other sites for them. It is a much faster and easier way for them to just go to one site and then go from that site to where their song is.
A free mp3 search engine is easy to use for most people. If they've ever used any type of search engine before, they will know how to use this one as well. They just need to type in the name of the artist and song that they want and the result will appear quickly for them. From there, with just a click or two, they will have access to the song and information they need to get it onto their personal music player.
Finding a good free mp3 search engine might take some trial and error attempts, but it will be worth it in the long run. If a person finds one that has a comprehensive results of the type of music they enjoy, it is likely they will return again and again to find more of their music.
If a website doesn't have the ability to return a good list of results for a person, it is least likely to be visited again. No one wants to have to go from site to site trying to find what they want. It wastes their time and could lead to frustration. So having one good website to visit is very beneficial and useful.
For anyone looking for specific music genres or artists, a free mp3 search engine is the best way to find whoever it is they are looking for. Music lovers who also use a personal music player will be delighted with the ease with which they can find the songs they want to hear by the names of the artists they love.
