I linked White faffing Limo, it was kinda clear bro They're clearly not pop! Whoever made that statement is clearly trolling or ignorant, and hell those two things aren't mutually exclusive.

I didnt!

[Bobs]

All the people laying into Kasabian, just don't go!

forgot you were all fucking full on screamo bellends! Kasabian are a great band live, and even fans who don't really like/know em and have no bands to see that night, will all know fire, Lsf etc.

Foo's are fucking awesome too, how can anyone be critical about the foo fighters be praising FR for Booking Muse, whilst nothing alike, they could easily class as pop if the foos do!

And with Green Day and The Cure, i hope none of them play, but i'd prefer the cure!

I think the fact several people thought you were referring to them as pop groups kind of proves the point. That slightly backfired didn't it? Of course they're not pop in the way of The Saturdays and Girls Aloud.

[PurpleFire]

Well posting White Limo, She and Switchblade Smiles it was clearly a tongue-in-cheek comment as those are definitely not pop songs

[Yellow_Fellow]

I didn't make my point clear enough - tone and sarcasm isn't picked up well through the web. They're pop by extension they're popular... that's about as far as it goes though. By that logic any main stage headliner is pop

[Hucksy]

None of them are pop! Why is this discussion even happening?

[Gingo]

Because stupid people are allowed on computers

They are 'pop' as in the sense of being popular but as a genre they are far from it

Pop music (a term that originally derives from an abbreviation of "popular") is a genre of popular music which originated in the 1950s, deriving from rock and roll.^[1] The terms popular music and pop music are often used interchangeably, even though the former is a description of any form of music which is popular (and can include any genre), whilst the latter is a specific genre of music which has qualities which would make it appealing to a large audience

[PurpleFire]

They are pop. They're just not pop in the Girls Aloud way. They're pop-rock, as are the majority of festival headliners, simply because it sells and is the most popular form of guitar based music . Pop extends to more than Girls Aloud and the like. The simple fact is, it's very hard to headline a mainstream British festival, unless you have significant pop based elements.

[Yellow_Fellow]

Metallica are a popular metal band. Are they pop metal?
