Get the Pop out of Rock! Please?!


Question: Make Pop a separate section so when people want to post questions like "oMg plain wite tees are so gud!" they can.. in there own little space.

Bands that are pop:
All Emo bands (MCR, FOB, HH, etc)
All Poser Pop Punks (BB, TBS, PWT, BFS, etc)
All Pop Princesses (Avril, Ashlee simpson etc )

Please these dumb questions are filling up space for legitimate questions on rock music.

I agree, having both together is way too broad, and lots of times when people ask for good rock songs or something, pop music fans clog up the answers with their FOB, Jonas Bros, etc.

I know.... LONG LIVE EMO!

Pop Rock is a legit form of Rock. Don't be ignorant.

true, but its free of speech and since its still Pop and Rock
they are free to speak their minds about those bands and artists

i think yahoo should go back to the day when 'music' was one big category...

didn't have all the hatin' and beefs back then..people would actually 'share knowledge and help people'...

I agree.

Pop and Rock are NOT the same.

Rcok music is about expanding musical boundaries and creating something new and different. Pop is about pandering to commercial interests and 'playing it safe.'

Or in the words of Jethro Tull front man Ian Anderson...

"A lot of pop music is about stealing pocket money from children."

I hope that I don't come off condescending, but your premise is flawed.
Pop is not a genre, there is not a pop sound. Pop is simply what is popular at the time. All but one of the bands that you listed are rock bands and pop bands simultaneously, and the people that are into those groups aren't necessarily going to go to a pop section. Pop is kind of a bad word to a lot of those fans for some reason. I see where you are coming from, but technically no one is right in that argument.
So what gets accomplished? You still have all the questions you had before, maybe some of the Hanna Montana and you masy get rid of the modern R&B ones (which there isn't a lot of anyways), but they are replaced with bickering about where people should be posting their questions. And since there is no one to moderate such an argument IT NEVER ENDS. Thus the site becomes even more frustrating.

To break it all down, they just went with a record store layout. I don't see what all the fuss is about. Just pass the questions you aren't interested in by. There are plenty of other ones.

I know. But since they're two really popular genres of music, I guess that Yahoo Answers decided to pair them together. :(

Grrrr. I hate POP. Long live rock and metal! :)

Stereotypical mind you have here.

Whats with the "emo" being pop? Have you listened to Old My Chemical Romance from their firs CD I, Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me You Love? WOW

I think you should rephrase your question and stop stereotyping.


I am a huge fan of all kinds of rock. Classic, hard rock, metal, emo, screamo, punk so I'm not saying that rock is bad.

It's far simpler to ignore what you don't like.
Thumbs this down if you wish, but *I* happen to despise Screamo, but I'd not be so rude as to suggest they move THAT out of R&P! You ALL have MY permission to like whatever you want.
How else might I LEARN anything here?
Break the categories down far enough to suit personal TASTES and one would find oneself with virtually NO questions to answer. At least EVERYONE would be a TC then, though, eh?
(Btw, spell check doesn't even recognize Screamo as a word)

emo is more like rock than it is pop

thats like some who likes emo music saying maybe there should be a seprate section for metal or hardcore rock

They should make a section for children with disney music and that crap like the jonas brother and hannah montanta.

Screaming Chim, I also think METAL should have it's own section too. I totally get what your saying by the way. I think "Drama" should have a catagory too.

yes rock i can go on and on what i call rock and the kids call rock its two different things now im of the old school like ths best rock band in the world The Rolling Stones and bands like The Who and pop is pop

yeh now pop shud have its own separate section. pop is more like "poser" now and is extremely annoying.
long live rock

They are all parts of rock.
Yes it would be nice if there were sub genres, but i doubt that would ever happen.
If yahoo did make changes, they would probably just make pop and rock seperate, that would make the questions on the bands you stated less concentrated, but it wouldnt stop them. Only the ones like avril and ashlee simpson are pop.
The others would still be in the rock catergory.
