Pop music. Popular music.
Pop, an onomatopeia. Pop. The sound of a bubble bursting. A bubble, a very cute, fun little thing which entertains for a few seconds but isn't particularly missed once it's gone or "pop"s. Now you see the where the music gets its meaning.
Pop music has always existed. It is light and and mainstream. From The Beatles to *NSYNC to The Platters. Now, don't missunderstand, Pop Music isn't solely a band game. Singers from Aretha to Britney to Madonna are as Pop as the rest. Popular music isn't one genre, it is what the people, however ignorant and bland they may be, want. It isn't Soul, Rock, Ballads, Rap or Grand Band. It's the newest sound made up of all the old ones. There is no music that isn't derived from another. During era's of peace, crooners make their money. During times of war the deeper sounds make their cash. That is the one endearing trait of pop, Money. The music is made for the people more often than discovered by them.
How to make your own Pop.
Watch television for approximately 2 months. Analize the populous. See what they need.
First off, see if they need a singer or a band.
How to Make a Band!
If they're already formed, change the lead singer. No he/she won't do. Get someone more photogenic, If the singer is attractive the rest of the band. Shape a nice, light debut song. Nothing that includes any deep meaning or opinions of any sort. Dress them in clothes which look new and different yet are remarkbaly the same from what you're wearing. Push them as the sound of the people and the new voice dying to be heard, full of deep meanings and opinions of every sort. Make them do free concerts, build a fan base, debut their album within the top 10 and tour for two years. Take a year off, change their sound completely, get rid of one member and substitute it for whatever singer hasn't worked for you before. Change their style so they either look really old-fashioned really futuristic. Many photo shoots and hire struggling writer to write the band's tell all book. Release second album and then sell the band to the highest bidder for top dollar. Note: remember to deny any wrong-doing when they crash in a bloody mess.
How to Make a Singer
Find true voice. Read and reassure them their songs won't be altered. Write them bland and meaningless new songs and never let their own see the light of day. Clean up and dress the singer. Find an angle from which the public will learn to love and adore them. Dye their hair and dress them in skin tight clothes. Record their first song. Spend the next two weeks cleaning it up. Debut their song and do every venue possible. After a month, abruptly stop and record their album. Spend as much time as required to make them sound unnaturally good and then release the album in time with another single. If this doesn't work, tell them to keep on trying and drop them like a hot skillet. Keep their number, for when you make a band. If it is succesfull make them promote and do live shows until they reach their peak of fame and then sell to the highest bidding recording company. Note: remember to deny any wrong-doing when they crash in a bloody mess.
So there you go.
