Pop Music Artists: The Beat That Took Music Industry For Years

By Dean Smith


The situation of pop culture today is diverse. Unlike before when you can actually place a name on music, the world is enjoying different mixes and breeds of sound that resembles past brand but in itself is unique. Basically, Pop Music Artists today have drawn inspiration from the industry of the eighties and nineties and came up with their own brand of pop culture.

Right now, the industry is filled with popular artists such as Lady Gaga, Justin Bieber and Rhianna. Even artists that have been around during the nineties are also present and active in the industry today, including Beyonce, Christina Aguilera and even Britney Spears. What is interesting to note is that most of the biggest earners today as the popularity of groups and bands start to deteriorate.

So how does this situation reflect the listeners? Although listeners today are diverse in their song choices, there are some common elements that would usually signal a pop culture hit. For one thing, some of the billboard tops today seem to provide really catchy tunes with repetitive choruses.

Pop culture today is also faster, often encouraging people to dance. Successful songs are almost always those that come with excellent dance steps or at least those that can easily be danced to. You will also notice a futuristic appeal to most songs today, providing sharp contrast to the soft voice of a singer.

Of course, the tune itself is not the only important characteristic listeners today are looking for. Many avid enthusiasts are also concerned about the lyrics. People gravitate to lyrics that mean something to them or those that they can relate to. This usually refers to songs about love and heartbreak which appeals to most listeners today.

Another vital element in pop culture today is MTV videos. With the introduction of the internet, the listening public is no longer just keen about hearing their favorite genre but also watching it. In fact, MTV videos have become such an important part of mainstream pop culture that artists invest heavily to make sure that their videos are excellent. In most cases, the video as well as their album are judged by listeners as one.

Although some of the best pop music artists today are within their later twenties, majority of the listening demographic is younger. These are the same people that have the most access to music and videos online, especially with the help of domains like YouTube. With the internet still developing, it is believed that the pop culture today will thrive until the next decade.
