There's alot of jazz and classical musicians who would call every pop song ever written elementary and trivial!

If I could only show you an email conversation I had with an editor of a jazz magazine. I had seen an article he had written online talking about how jazz and classical music was superior to rock and pop, and how jazz and classical are the real music, wheras pop and rock are entertainment.

He couldnt grasp the idea that emotions play a major role in whether somebody likes the music or not, that many people are not interested in listening to noodling on an instrument all night long, he rebutted with that "nah, pop music is all the singer, and nothing else, he had that jazz kind of snobbery which was hard to budge.

To a schooled, 8 hour a day practicing musician, pop songs are a waste of time, to a teenage girl, pop songs are life.

it's all perspective. Louie Louie has stood the test of time too, and I dont know one word but Louie.

Many kinds of good, there's Herbie Hancock good, Lady Gaga good, Taylor Swift good, Bob Dylan good.

At the end of the day it comes down to whether or not a listener gets something out of it.
