What is pop?

For my 2025 senior capstone project, I chose to research how pop music came to be defined as a genre throughout music history. I wanted to answer the question "What is pop music?" through a theoretical lens + try to narrow down our often expansive use of the term "pop" and separate it from its origins to find out how it's become a unique style of music today.

Blues/Rock 'n Roll Style
 
For my first rewrite, I followed a classic blues song structure: verse + chorus + verse + chorus. I utilized repetition, folk/cultural/religious refrences, simple rhyme schemes, the use of the title as a hook, and declarative writing to match the style of the time.
