Just read the first paragraph on Wikipedia... it addresses both of the major points in this thread... and again, is right... it's not either fricking or...

If you read further on that page it digs in a little deeper on both points...

quote:

Pop music (a term that originally derives from an abbreviation of "popular") is a genre of popular music which originated in its modern form 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 music which is popular (and can include any style), whilst the latter is a specific genre containing qualities of mass appeal.[1]

Pop music is a genre. That's what I'm referring to. Not a type of song.

I agree, but it's also a term used to describe popular music...

You'd have to know what context the OPs friends meant it...

I can agree that The Black Keys are pop music... in a general sense... but I'd probably describe them to someone wanting to know what they sounded like as bluesy/rock...

I agree with all of that. black keys are popular in the music world, but they are categorized as "pop music" perse
