Sorry.

I was trying to be as cuntish as possible, but in an entirely insincere manner. I don't think I could ever really say that to someone seriously.

Um, I am confused.

For example, The Unicorns are pop, right?  But they are not mainstream.  And they are not particularly accessible.  They do not really have a verse/chorus structure.  But if they are not pop then what are they?

Didn't Harry give a definitive answer to this thread about two and a half hours after it was started?

It's wrong though. The amount of people who listen to it has absolutely nothing to do with whether it's pop or not. There must be millions of pop songs that no-one who isn't the guy who wrote it has heard. On the other hand there are plenty of people who listen to not-pop.

Some pop music is popular, but not all popular music is pop.
