  Pop music - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pop music is a common part of popular music, sometimes regarded as a subgenre of its own, generally featuring memorable melodies with strong recognizable rhythms and catchy refrains.
Pop songs' popularity can be explained by its 'hook': they often have one or more musical ideas intended to gain a listener's interest.
Sometimes - in the case of the British pop group Hear'Say, for example - young and fashionable people who have little or no prior knowledge of the music industry are transformed into a band that sells music and related merchandise to a preteen or teenage audience.

This dangerous and necessary paradox, perhaps expressible as a tension between group responsibility and individual guilt, is a definite vector of the Pop Group's music, and it may have influenced Stewart's decision not to re-release this material until now.
These tensions are key to the Pop Group and in comparison to such anarcho-punk bands like Crass, Mark Stewart's emotional-charge is the result of his singing that he is a 'hypocrite' too.
Even so, as with A Certain Ratio, to whom they were revealingly and startingly compared, the Pop Group drew on elements of funk, possibly as a result of their familiarity with the fl music scene of Bristol (2).

 Julian Cope Presents Head Heritage | Unsung | Reviews | The Pop Group - Y
When The Pop Group first came onto the scene in late 1978 they were being hailed in the UK press as one of the saviours of rock and roll, and with good reason as the group's music made almost everything being created at the time seem old hat over night.
The Pop Group's debut single "She Is Beyond Good and Evil" released in 1979 was an instant classic and one of the landmark recordings of the 1970's, it was a seething tense piece of aggressive funk/punk/dub/free jazz that demanded attention.
After playing "Y" you wonder how the group ever hoped to top it, they never did, but their second album was great as well but just not as good as "Y", few albums are.

 Daily Freeman - Life - 06/04/2005 - Erasure: '80s pop group takes flight with 'Nightbird', U.S. tour
After 20 years together, the British pop duo has a new album, "Nightbird" - their first original studio offering since Bell learned he was HIV-positive in 1998 - and a U.S. tour, which began with 10 sold-out shows at New York's Irving Plaza in April.
When they sat down to talk with The Associated Press, it was Bell's 41st birthday; the 44-year-old Clarke, who's also the quiet mastermind behind Yaz and Depeche Mode, is expecting his first child with his wife in September.
And at that time, there was a very kind of quiet political gay movement within pop in the U.K. which - I had kind of gotten the tail end of it - with Bronski Beat, and they were The Communards later on.

The Beach Boys are arguably America's quintessential pop group, but their importance has been unfairly diminished by the cultural fads with which they are associated: surfing and hot rods.
Consisting of three brothers, a cousin, and a friend, the young group emerged from the working-class Los Angeles suburb of Hawthorne in 1961 with "Surfin'," an unpolished paean to the local surfing craze.

Railing against Margaret Thatcher's Tory government, the state of pop music, racism, sexism, etc., the Pop Group were not the easiest band of the early post-punk era to listen to, but those who made the effort were in for an interesting melange of primitive rhythms and avant-garde guitar racket.
Led by the squalling "vocals" of Mark Stewart (which were little more than chanted political slogans), the Pop Group were unabashedly and stridently radical to the point of being hectoring.
Never intending to make a serious run at the pop charts, the Pop Group imploded after three albums, the third being a collection of outtakes and assorted ephemera.

 AlterHéros - Tatu - Teen Lesbian Pop Group?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Tatu is the most recent manufactured teen-pop group to hit these shores, but what’s different about them is that fact that you have two barely legal girls wearing skimpy school uniforms, singing about lesbian love and constantly make-out with each other.
The source of their displeasure is revealed when the girls lock into a passionate, rain-slicked kiss, and plead (according to the English subtitles), “Mom and Daddy, please forgive me.” To say you’ve never seen or heard anything quite like it is a colossal understatement.
The group has been causing fervour across Europe and in their homeland of Russia where not only the general public but also Russian Senators in the DUMA (similar to the House of Commons in Canada) were surprised again with what they saw in the scandalous video for the song “Prostye Dvizhenya (Simple Movements)”.
