2. What appeals/doesn’t appeal to you about this genre?
“Relaxing to listen to.”
“Boring.”
“I like the way rock sounds, and pop can get interesting, so when you combine two interesting styles, you get interesting
music!”
“It's catchy and upbeat without being too much so like strictly Pop music, and can be diverse from laid artists like Mayer,
to 'beat-y' artists like The Script. “
“I was raised on really nerdy 60's/70's progressive rock and that's just what I've always been into. I like a few pop-rock
songs, but most of it doesn't really interest me.”
“I like the melodies and the styles of the songs. I like the tones of the voices by these artists”
“Too much repetition of the chorus can be boring.”
“I grew up listening to classical music, and I still do to this day. Repetitive, non-original lyrics, headache-inducing rhythms.”
“I like the fact that lots of pop-rock songs are fun and danceable without being too pop.”
“I do not like pop, and when it is mixed with another genre, it is just worst, etc. Kelly Clarkson.. she's horrible.”
“It makes me happy.”
“It's good music if you want something light and catchy to listen to.”
“I like the uptempo beats.”
“It's about subjects I don't care about, with forgettable bands and songs.”
“It usual has a catchy beat or memorable lyrics.”
“Everything.”
“It depends on the band/artist. Sometimes I like them for the beat of their songs, sometimes I like them for their lyrics,
and sometimes it's both.”
“A lot of pop culture puppets, not enough ‘artists’.”
“Rock music really speaks to your soul and you can feel the emotions that the singer put into it. Pop music is
just fun to dance to and is mostly forgettable.”
“Sounds good.”
“I feel like all of the songs in that genre sound exactly the same, and it doesn't help when they use vocal
correcting devices.”
“It's interesting and enjoyable to listen to.”
