My favorite Era of pop music was when Michael Jackson went mainstream

[OmarO_]

So I have to write an essay about Pop music for my Music Literature class and this video helped a lot THANKS!!

[TJCoolzD]

my favorite era is when pop music was really diminishing, and it was whatever it was. and that would be the 2000s.

[ucalvinaaron]

nope i was born on 1999 but i love the 80s pop music like MJ, Madonna even though i grew listening to taylor swift and rihanna

[margaret_adelle]

I would totally agree with the idea of the music you listen in your early teen years being the predominant music for you. I started listening to pop punk when I was around 13 to 14 and it's still my all time favorite a decade later.

Pop was better in the 80's
Rap was better in the 90's
Rock was better in the 60's & 70's
R&B was better in the 90's
70's Soul and Funk was damn good
And I'm a 90's baby

[andreamaria]

I like every voice except for this one. So grouchy and monotoned! You should sound a bit happier when discussing pop music! Other than that I love the talko.

Feel free to use this comment to share the other *"colorful"* lyrics that couldn't be shared in the video! 😉 *HAVE FUN!* 😂 (Warning: it's not PG material!)
*Let your creativity run wild!* 🙃

I was born in the late 80s in 1987 so I only knew about 90s pop music (and other genres too) and 2000s music. Really I had no interest in music since I was into gaming growing up at school when I moved to year 7 and sixth form. But I do know I heard songs on the radio but never understood about it or who the songs were performed by as I never really cared.

Pop music in a few years might be a genre wonder😞
