Pop music is not considered a real genre among communities that listen to rock, hip-hop, jazz, and other sub-genres. It can actually make sense in a way as pop music is just a product of the entertainment industry to popularize music artists. Many struggling artists get the chance to create music that makes them popular, irrespective of their original genre experience. Today, pop music is made entirely with DAWs, and no real instruments are played. It gives the producers the freedom to make their music as catchy as possible. Pop music targets the most important emotion of people, that is love. People feel comfortable and happy listening to pop because it keeps them in the present and does not bring out depressing topics.
