I would not call some of these Pop music. But I feel like that term is used for certain songs where you're not quite sure what it is.

Pop music is music that is popular, you can't deny that these songs have been and were popular, pop music tends to be more modern music too.

Pop music has nothing to do with being modern.

dont know what you think is popmusic, but it is generally what is being played on the radio.

And @matthew07 pop music definitely has something to do with being modern. No beethoven would ever be popmusic even if it gets super popular and the entire world will love it tomorrow. That being said it doesnt mean that songs from several decades ago cant still be considered pop music. Modern yes, but not necessarily recent, as in the last couple of years.

I wouldn't really describe as Oasis as a pop band?

I think of them as alternative, but point taken. There are a number on here though that could be considered not-pop. Hammer and Smith are rappers. Are the R&B artists here considered pop?

Maybe it didn't get worse. Maybe you just got older, grumpier and more small minded.

As others have mentioned, the selection seems odd - basically songs from 1990 forward, EXCEPT one from 1968?? Seems like a better approach would be to cover the genre from its beginnings to the present, OR break it into decades or eras.

Maybe he wanted to put the recent one in (remix) by JunkieXL which was about 2002. And then changed his mind and put the original in.

This quiz jumps from 1968 to 1990. What happened to the 21 years in between? Lots of good music in that time.
