Pop Music is stuck

I think, music shows the quality of the society. Point of view changes in every different regions of the world. Besides the trends of music, there are always some certain amount of people as fan of one kind of music. Pop music is a very helpless sector of music, so that it never has its own strict fans, and it never defends any kind of ideology. There is one example I caught in Brackett`s article #72 which also explains my point of view about hip hop as well. The article tells us about metal in the late eightes, and its spreading to glam and trash. In this case `Bon Jovi` and `Metallica` is considering as most famous Glam Metal Bands at that time. It also tells, how metal has changed its shape when different bands started to appear, such as Iron Maiden and Guns N Roses. I think, hop hop is even more complicated concept due to various types of artists all around the world. Every bans and artists has their own thoughts and principles which are the basis of the band`s or the artist`s relationship between then and their fans. Especially in 80s, it was even more important. In punk trend in England, Two so similar bands, the Cure and the Smiths became two biggest hatred rivals, it was almost impossible to be a fan of both in that time. In pop there is no such characterization. As we also discussed during class, live performances, started to be visually focused, and music became the second fact of a live performance. Ofcourse, one of the most important reason for this, should be the incredible improvements in technology, but that makes pop music and pop culture to suffer more. In contrast, while other bands and artists are suppose to remain unchanged especially musically, pop artists are expected to be changed, and catch whatever is famous, so that, they can be used in current. On the other hand, this situation brings the chance for them to get famous very easily and eventually to earn a lot of money in short time. I suggest everyone to watch the movie `The Doors`, in that movie, (I think the same example is also in `Walk the Line`) you find out how Jim Morrisson refused to obey the things that could bring him a lot of money. He did whatever he believed was right, so that he and the band was never became the toy of commercial world, and they were free to whatever they wanted to do. For sure, besides some extreme artists, all of pop artists are depended, and they have to be fake all the time. They sign contrats worth of million dollars and then they have to follow whatever the contract says. I believe, most of them are doing whatever they do just for money. I think that is the only reason, why pop singers will never gain amazing reputations like other legends, because they are a product of commercial world. Think hoethey are used as a blaming object when there will be a good attention. and think how they have to be the part of this game. I think there shouldn`t be any tragidy for why they do not have any strict fans.
