How can rock and "pop" be listed together..????

  • i find that redicilous that rock and pop are listed together rock is soo much better and way more history to it exspecialy metal..


  • I know!
    I always wondered that- it annoys the crap out of me.
    Rock and pop just don't mix.


  • Rawk Type Stuff 4Evr!!!!!!111!!!1

    In all serious, what is the difference, there is no "superior" style of music, rock and pop have always coexisted pretty well, no matter how hardcore you want to sound by saying otherwise


  • ok...so...FIRST...
    if you're looking from a history standpoint...punk has more history on ANYTHING else in pop or rock...

    SECOND

    there are things like poprock, poppunk, powerpop, powerpop...etc... hence why pop and rock are put together...I mean their are bands and singers that are hard to seperate btwn pop and rock...such as Avril Lavigne, Jonas Brothers, Fall Out Boy...etc...

    THIRD

    don't get all insulted and upset b/c of the way ppl classify things...good music is good music...plain and simple...you are being, like 84958534975+ times more insulting with this question, than simply classifying pop and rock together...you're actually being rather rediculous, childish, and ignorant.

    FORTH

    Websites, even those as big as Yahoo!, are only aloud a certain amount of bandwidth for what they can afford to pay for it. The more they sepperate out cattegories, the more bandwidth and, therefore, money it takes up. This Yahoo! Answers thing is a service to YOU and other people looking for an easy, quick way to find answers to their questions. DON'T complain about it, because they DON'T have to do it.

    FIFTH

    Don't put yourself out their like that unless you actually somewhat educate yourself, because, to be blunt, it makes you sound STUPID!


    did I leave anything out? do you want to continue in your ignorance and arrogance, or have you had enough?


  • i know. what an oxymoron, huh?


  • um i have nooooo idea. but its sad that they are. rock is SO much better. pop is just kinda mindless. putting them together is like putting, say, my chemical romance and christina agulara in the same catagorie. it makes no sense to me!


  • rock is way better...
    emo kids just f*ck
    it up or those gay bands
    like panic at the disco


  • yeah i agree. it should be rock & metal or grunge of whatever.. then again some people think some bands are rock but in history it wouldnt be; it'd be just poprock or something..

    but then "some" bands made rock popular! and rock is currently in the "scene" that's probably why..

    or maybe they think that we'd get annoyed if someone asked a question in the rock category that is about a poppunk band eg panic! at the disco or fall out boy...


  • Amen!!! That is something that could defiantly be changed.


  • Well, they can these days, cuz, I hate to break it to you, but rock IS pop. Pop is short for "popular" and rock is definetly popular.


  • It's because a lot of people don't know the difference.

    I'd also like to see a 'Classic Rock' section.

    I hate clicking on a 'Rock' question, only to find it's another modern 'all-sounds-the-same' bland rock band.


  • I never consider "pop" to be a gender,
    although some folks do.
    I have always considered "pop" to the
    current fad.
    Therefore, when R&R was in it's hayday,
    it was "pop" music.

    Such as Pop Musiz


  • i agree....ridiculous


  • yeah
    its BS
    and no Metal
    or Punk
