How old were you when you stopped listening to Pop Music?

[Pedrito]

I stopped listening to chart music when I was about 14-15 years old, in 1987.

The actual top 100 singles chart, except for a couple of names (Kings of Leon, Franz Ferdinand, U2), means almost nothing to me.

I use to listen to Nsync, Back Street Boys, Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, Brandy, and etc. That is pop music to me. But I think I stopped listening to that when I was like 14. I've started listening to it again lately though.  :wtf:

Get your own accound, Ide.  Honestly.

There's a little bit of pop in the music I listen to, but I always found the notion of listening to music for it's position on Billboard to be ridiculous (school bus rides with the Q102 pop station playing the same "Number 1" song 3 times in an hour just enforced that to me).

I was raised solidly on WMMR, WYSP, and WMGK (rock, rock, and classic rock); I listen to prog, and my idea of "easy listening" where I don't have to think about the music too much is any rock song under 6 minutes long.

Also, I think the way Sav defines pop music is quite retarded. Does music stop being "pop music" after a while, only because it falls of the charts?

I mean, ABBA, Madonna and Queen are pop music, even though they no longer top the charts. If I listen to "Dancing Queen", I'm listening to pop music, no?

I listend to WPLY before it was switched to Urban

Oh and you have shitty taste in music like you do with films.

Actually, I was a staunch WMMR fan for years until they brought on Barsky, kind of a Howard Stern-lite wannabe. Their current morning yobbos, Preston and Steve, are grossly unentertaining and make me wish I could just go back to the days of The Morning Zoo.

The Stern-DeBella wars were epic and I'm glad I was around in Philly to listen to them.

I'm atuck in the 89's, by choice.

Marty, I approve Led Zeppelin, Queen, and Red Hot Chilli Peppers. Rest is pop.

Ok, so Rolling Stones is pop and Queen isn't. Gotcha!

Okay so I missed the Stones on your list.

edit: and Queen IS pop of course. But they were good.

Well, half of the albums I listed are classified as "alternative/indie". You can't be both that and "pop".

For example, Rufus Wainwright is not pop.
