POP MUSIC



Beautiful music is the art of the prophets that can calm the agitations of the soul; it is one of the most magnificent and delightful presents God has given us.

Popular Pop Artists

Derived from the word “Popular”, Pop, in the broadest sense of things, is music that aims to communicate with a large amount of people with catchy hooks, choruses and melodies. Just like pop culture, which absorbs all kind of elements from various sources and cultures, a pop tune can have infinite musical genes in its DNA – Rock n Roll, Folk, R&B, Hip Hop, Dance – even african music. Today, however, Pop music is usually referred to as the type of music you can hear on mainstream media outlets, rehashed on famous brands such as American Idol & Glee. Its sound is mostly electronic, and draws equally from Hip Hop and R&B on one hand, and European dance music on the other. 

·         Blink 182 is One of the most Popular Pop band icon 

• 
  
• Blink-182 continued the unexpected 1990s journey of pop-punk into the mainstream. The trio emerged from Southern Californian skate-punk culture with a high-energy stage show heavy with slapstick and fart jokes. But like the slightly older Green Day, closer study revealed hook-filled rock songs obsessed with breakup and loneliness, even occasionally delving into such topics as teen suicide ("Adam's Song")

• ·         The new-school punk trio blink-182 were formed in the suburbs of San Diego, California around guitarist/vocalist Tom delogne, bassist/vocalist Mark Hoppus, and drummerScott Raynor. Originally known as simply Blink, the band debuted in 1993 with a self-released EP, Fly Swatter. After releasing the album Buddha in 1994, the trio signed to Grilled Cheese/Cargo and released Cheshire Cat the following year. The threat of a lawsuit from a similarly named Irish band forced them to change their name to blink-182, but the group earned a higher profile touring the world withPennywise and NOFX on the 1996-1997 Warped Tour, plus appearing on innumerable skate/surf/snowboarding videos.

• ·         The third blink-182 LP, Dude Ranch, was jointly released in 1997 by Cargo and MCA. Dude Ranch expanded the group's audience and went platinum by the end of 1998, due in part to the popularity of the infectious teen anthem "Dammit (Growing Up)." The group also signed officially with MCA, which released the band's fourth album, Enema of the State, in the summer of 1999. The album, produced by Jerry Finn(Green Day, Rancid), also welcomed a new member into the trio's ranks; Travis Barker, formerly with the Aquabats, settled in on drums after Raynor left midway through a 1998 U.S. tour. Enema was greeted with almost immediate success, and helped the band achieve the mainstream status of toilet-humored pop-punk kings thatDude Ranch had only hinted at. Driven by the commercially successful singles "What's My Age Again?," "All the Small Things," and "Adam's Song," music videos for the three songs (whose clips included themes of streaking and boy band spoofs) were MTV smashes as well.
