Pop music
:This article mainly describes "pop" as used in its more recent sense, as a subgenre of popular music.
Themes
The most popular subject for pop music is love; almost exclusively, heterosexual love. Typically, many pop songs express one person's love for another person, or show the artist's sorrow or sadness at losing a loved one or breaking up with a lover. Some other pop songs send a message of defiance to those who disapprove of the singer's affection for another. Still others project a lack of regret for a breakup or argument. Some more "raunchy" themes involve sex, sometimes expressing one person's desire to have sex with another (A typical example is "Bad Touch" by "The Bloodhound Gang"). A very popular form of pop song, known as the ballade, comprised of slower-paced songs sung to the theme of romanticized love.
