We hear the term - Pop Music. Just what does that term really mean? Is it the currently "popular" music?
Where I'm going with this discussion, is to try to determine when a particular music style (or genre' if you want to use that term) becomes Pop and when it leaves the "POP" category. For example, there was a time that Blues music could have been considered Pop - in the mid 60's.
Today, it's the music if Taylor Swift, Celine Dion, et al.
It seems that most pop music stars seem to fade away...except what was once considered pop - Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra, Julie London, etc.
So, what is Pop music?
