Welcome!
This papers discusses popular music, explains its appeal, and examines how it is different from other forms of folk and vernacular music. Other topics dealt with include the democratic nature of music, how the music industry influences popular tastes, and what the relationship is between popular music forms and race, class, and gender.
 This papers will argue, with reference to a variety of cultural and music criticism, that popular music has been defined by a dynamic tension between populism and commercialism. As will be seen, while the cultural industry has a remarkable capacity to co-opt and shape subcultural products, subcultures also repeatedly challenge, parody and reinvent mainstream "patterned and pre-digested" products.
