The same goes for streaming services. Spotify reported that they streamed 10 billion hours of audio content in the last year. This is five times more than what Spotify users listened to just five years back!

This has resulted a huge shift in the ways people consume media. These days, people spend more time consuming content than creating it.

Today everyone from toddlers to retirees has access to a device capable of playing back high-quality audio content. This allows anyone to record, edit and mix their music.

To play your favorite song, it doesn't matter if you go to university to study classical instrumentsation. You can simply download an app, add your voice, and upload them to YouTube.

Who first coined the term Pop Music

Invented by Frank Zappa. Pop music was his preferred style.

He stated that he wanted music that was accessible to all. This is why he called the music "pop music".

Zappa also invents the phrase "You'll know it's pop when ..."". It means that something is extremely popular if you have many people enjoying it. For example, Michael Jackson's Thriller album is one of the best-selling albums ever.

Zappa's definitions are very different to the present definition of pop music. Pop music today includes all kinds of music. But, there were only certain types of music that was considered pop back in those days.


What can pop music teach us?

Our society today values material things over everything else. This is especially true for young people. They spend hours a day staring at screens. They are addicted to video games, movies, and surfing the web. All of these distract them from the task at hand, which is to complete school work. This leads to them failing classes.

It is a world where everyone wants in. That means being popular. Popularity depends on money, clothes, and other possessions. This causes some people to do things they don't like.

We have become too dependent on technology. All information is available to us thanks to technology. Unfortunately, not all information can be trusted. There are many false rumors floating around the Internet. These rumors are quickly spread by people sharing them on social media. It's easy to post something without checking whether it's true.

People have lost the ability to think critically. They believe everything they read on the Internet. They believe what they read in magazines or on TV. They stop thinking for their own sake. Instead, they follow others.

When we rely on others to tell us what's happening, we lose control over our lives. Pop culture teaches us that we can depend on others. This can make us lazy. We don't always see the truth, but it is there.

How do I use pop culture in my marketing strategy?

Pop culture is a great way to understand how to market your products and services.

Let's suppose you wanted to promote the release of a new film. What type of promotion can you do?

You could create a trailer with clips taken from the film. You could even find a clip with one of your products or services that you can use in the video.

Maybe you could even make a parody using footage from other films.

You can use the movie's plotline as a basis for your promotional campaign, if you are promoting a product/service related to that film's theme. For instance, if the movie is set in outer space, you might want to advertise a product that helps astronauts stay healthy while traveling through space.

You could do promotions based upon the plotline of a business related to the movie's subject. If your company sells food products, you might offer customers free samples if they buy tickets to the movie.
