Hey everyone! Sorry again for my lack of updates! I've been so busy recently I haven't really had time to write, and once again I'm pushed for time so I thought I'd recycle my old funlist frommy Facebook notes, You know you're a fan of pop music or listening to a pop album when...
Enjoy!
1. Listening to it, you get the distinct impression that they didn't even walk a real instrument past the recording studio - when it was being written.
2. The only reason it's in your iTunes is so that when you're in a bad mood you'll have something to laugh at.
3. Even the autotune and vocoder isn't enough to make the artist/group's voices sound good.
4. You read the booklet and see that someone other than the artist is credited as vocals.
5. You know everything about the artist, except their real name.
6. You bought the album because you liked one single... and hate everything else on it.
7. You find yourself thinking "that was a short CD, back to track one already..." and then you realise there's another ten tracks left on it.
8. You don't care what the album sounds like, you only bought it for the amazingly colourful album artwork.
9. You previewed the album on Spotify or Youtube, hated it, and bought it anyway.
10. If anyone tells you to take up an instrument, you buy sequencing software for your computer. Then, when someone asks you why you didn't get a guitar or anything similar, you respond: "I thought those were just props for photographs."

In a way, you're right and I can completely see where you're coming from, but I'm using the terminology an examiner would expect me to use on an AS level music paper instead of the generally accepted terms. Force of habit, sorry :)
