Pop Music Artists: Dancing To The Beat Of Pop

By Dean Smith


Pop music today is thriving especially with the arrival of excellent Pop Music Artists in the industry. What is interesting about this genre is the fact that it is neither unique nor original. Pop culture is actually the result of the development of sound through the decades. Basically, artists have managed to combine the old with the next, creating a whole new genre that appeals to the younger generation.

Right now, the industry is filled with popular artists such as Lady Gaga, Justin Bieber and Rhianna. Even artists that have been around during the nineties are also present and active in the industry today, including Beyonce, Christina Aguilera and even Britney Spears. What is interesting to note is that most of the biggest earners today as the popularity of groups and bands start to deteriorate.

So what does this mean for the listeners? Right now, the booming pop industry is divided with listeners preferring specific artists rather than the songs. However, the songs that seem to keep hitting the top charts today are those with very catchy titles.

What is really popular in pop culture today is the introduction of futuristic or technological sounds. These are usually deliberately placed in the song to provide contrast to the soft voice of the singer. In most cases, this is that one element that identifies present music from those created during the nineties.

Of course, listeners today are not just looking for catchy tunes that they can listen to in order to perk them up. The lyrics are also a vital element that avid fans are very particular with. Listeners today prefer lyrics that they can relate with, perhaps something about heartbreak or even relationships.

However, what really revolution the pop industry more than any other development is the entrance of MTV videos. Although they are already popular in the nineties, it is only now that MTV videos have become a work of art, often judged separately from the song. In most cases, enthusiastic fans do not just wait for a song because of its tune but also for its amazing music video.

Although some of the best pop music artists today are within their later twenties, majority of the listening demographic is younger. These are the same people that have the most access to music and videos online, especially with the help of domains like YouTube. With the internet still developing, it is believed that the pop culture today will thrive until the next decade.
