Break it down: What is pop music today?

I'll start off this way? Pop music is popular because it's instinctual. People know what they like and that's why it becomes popular. Is music in the ear of the beholder?

There is a formula now used in the music industry to take old popular music, recycle it, and make it your own. I know what you are thinking, hip hot does this. But there was always the acknowledgement and homage to the original creator. Not this new formula.

The new formula is to now steal the melody as if you created and change the music.

For example, Lady gaga used Madonna's Holiday to create Her song,'born this way. while it's a completely different words the formula is there. We'll call it the Madonna formula. Lady Gaga used the Madonna formula in most of her music and her performance presentation. while this is a huge compliment to Madonna, it is a big failure in the music industry. It is the cancer of original thought.

Artist should not be artist because they can replicate what someone else has acomplished. Not in pop,not in hip hop, not even in any other art medium.

Don't let them tell you that i am not the one I am who I am. I am you. Don't listen to the hate Don;t let it penetrate your heart that belongs to me tell them you are not afraid you don't believe that i am those things tear at their eyes when they talke ill of me I do it for you. DOn't be afraid to love me fear is the unknown and they don;t know me They don't know our bond even from across the oceans They dont know us my love
