what i find interesting is that people look down on certain pop music just for being "pop" but not on others. i have nothing against pop music, i wish more people listened to this music that we love! being popular is not bad, but most times what is popular IS bad. people confuse that. i play pop records, i dont even care: if its a good song, its a good song. but i just dont view daft punk as pop music. also, defining yourself as "pop" doesnt not necessarily mean you are, plenty of crappy indie rock bands tried that "power pop" or other derivitive names, and they were not popular, nor pop. tom
