STOP ASSAULT 2012
Who is Assault? Assault is a mod in the Bungie.net brony group. And what started out with good intentions, viciously spiraled down into a power hungry tyrant locking thread after thread after thread to quell all opposition to his tyrannical rule. Did I mention he is a tyrant?

pop music:
music in the Pop genre?
music that is Popular?
i think we really need to sort this out, cus they aren't one and the same.Well we obviously can't be talking about popular music, otherwise we would have to say what's wrong with Michael Jacksons Beat it, and with Tchaikovskys 1812 oveture. And given that most of the criticism of popular music is really criticism against the pop genre, it seems patently obvious what we are talking about.

but rap and hip-hop are popular at the moment but they aren't in the pop genre.Technically, they kinda are.
-an aim of appealing to a general audience, rather than to a particular sub-culture or ideology
-an emphasis on craftsmanship rather than formal "artistic" qualities
-an emphasis on recording, production, and technology, over live performance
-a tendency to reflect existing trends rather than progressive developments
-much pop music is intended to encourage dancing, or it uses dance-oriented beats or rhythms
Stolen straight from wikipedia on characteristics of pop music. General audience, not emphasizing artistic qualities(just look at nicki minaj), reflects existing trends, encouraging dancing, not really for live performance, hence autotune.
