Re: Punk heralded the death of pop
No, I don't think Punk was Pop music.......it had a following, but much less so than the true pop music......as for rap, hip-hop, ska, reggae, they all had their followings but...it was more(for want of a better word) specialised...it didn't appeal to everyone.....across age groups...now with pop music you can find youngsters and Grandma's humming/whistling/singing Beatles tunes(substitute your own particular favourite for Beatles).
Real Popular music had a wider following, and Punk didn't kill it at all, it is still going strong.
