Top Ten Reasons Why Girls Like Pop Music

This list is ridiculous. So you're saying ALL girls like pop? And that it's the only thing they like? I'm a dude and an extreme metal fan, and I've known girls who were into some meal bands not even I could withstand. Like, black metal and stuff. And I've known girls who were into rap. I don't like rap, but these people were girls, the liked rap, and they hated pop music. So NO - not every girl ha a crush on One Direction or Bieber. A lot of preteen girls like pop music because it's what they're exposed to. Once they get older, they learn what real music is and completely and finally disregard Harry Styles and His Circus of Failed Abortions. My point? Saying that all girls like pop music is like saying all Southerners like country. This list is just dumb. Goodbye.

I don't like this list, not all girls like pop, that is judgemental. I am a girl and I am more into rock than what I am into pop, plus, I hate One Direction, and plenty of other girls I know hate them too. I don't even think any of the members are hot and their music sucks, I hate the fact that they try to sing to girls and impress them, stupid. I listen to bands like Blink-182 and Green Day, bands that don't sing all about impressing girls and tries to make them fall in love with them.

Ok. This is rude. Music is not science. It cannot be proven right or wrong. There's no such thing as 'bad taste in music.' Many people like pop because it's more cheerful and fun. Also it's a bit softer and more modest. Rockheads are the most retarded hypocrites I've ever met. I have barely met ANY popheads that think their genre is superior to superior to others, and they don't make lists about why they hate a genre of music. It's like making a list about why you don't like Swiss cheese. Rockheads are arrogant, hypocritical, and annoying as heck. If you like rock or metal, listen to that. If you like pop, listen to that. Ignore any butthead who says their taste in music is superior to yours.

I've got a bad taste in music, huh? Newsflash! I'm a girl and I really hate most pop music, except dream pop, indie pop and older pop music. My brother loves pop and hates rock/metal. He tries so hard to convert me to pop music. My sister listens to pop but she at least listens to some rock and metal, and she even likes some of them. She's starting to get into Metallica and Iron Maiden, and loves Avenged Sevenfold. My mom doesn't even care for rock/metal, and my dad's a rocker and metalhead.

Um, I count more on music than looks, I don't find Billie Joe Armstrong attractive, but I love his music, the same is with a lot of the singers I like. I am fine with the singer being ugly just as long as they make good music.

This only applies to guy musicians. So many Beliebers that are 13 years old because they like his look. They like boy bands even though they suck. I'm not saying this is all girls, but yeah

Maybe that's why a few certain people like it. But even generalizing to a few girls, none the less all of them. Please tell me you see how messed up this is.

This is sexist... Everyone has their own opinion on which songs/genres are good and which aren't... It has nothing to do with gender.

This list is plain sexist. I'm honestly shocked that someone wold create a list this ridiculous.

I actually happen to love screamo, so screw all the people who say it's in the lower end of the rock spectrum and the people who say girls are scared of rock and metal. However, why do most of the people who dis pop always compare it to rock and metal? There so many other genres like hip hop and R&B, country, edm, trance, techno, reggae, house music, and jazz and blues. There seems to be a major argument between pop and rock and now people think you're trash if you like one genre or the other. Can we just look at individual songs? The A Team's folk, and Little Lady is one of the most chillingly meaningful raps. I Believe I can fly is soul. Hey Ya!, which contrasts dark lyrics with a happy tune, is funk. Landslide's one of the songs that people can make a connection with, and the fact never changes no matter how many haters stereotype that country's about tractors and living it up at the farm.

Someone Like You was a pop song. How To Save a Life was a rock song. It okay to prefer a genre because we all have musical tastes, but before you think you're better than other people for liking a certain genre, take a minute to just look at the songs.

I don't have a single poster in my room, mainly what I have is old toys I don't play with anymore, art supplies all over the table and sketchbooks rather than posters of 5 Seconds Of Summer or Justin Bieber.

I love pop music. But how is it that none of the items say "they like the songs? " I don't have posters, all male pop stars are jerks and who wears perfume?

This list is sexist and generally incorrect. I don't have 1D posters all over my room. In fact, I don't have any band posters hanging up.

I also like the male singers and producers because of the music, voice, and talent. Not the looks.

No, this is sexist. For example, I listen to Deicide because I love the sound.

I no way like male pop artists that are only famous for their looks.

I like to dance to all my favorite songs, no matter which genre it is.

This is the only one that makes sense to me.

Why is this bad? Hell, I do it at times.

This is just a stereotype.

That is just plain rude

What's wrong with that? Applying perfume is fine unless some female employees annoyed you for some reasons by using it to you.
I'm going to avoid those smells ala Mr. Bean style if I we're you.

OK...
I guess when I smell the perfume.
I ended up smelling like it's fruit.
But the male perfume made worst...
When ladies smell at you and chase at you like a playboy.
So buy it now...If you dare.

I do not like perfume, it smells too strong, the normal smell is the best in my opinion. I do not even care for artist's perfume I just think of it as "whatever".

Now I disagree with how this list is named. I believe that it should be called "Top 10 Reasons Why Followers Like Pop Music". The sad truth is that pop music is marketed more towards girls than boys. More girls listen to pop music because pop is marketed towards them, and the followers among the girl population will listen to pop. These followers are simple minded, but there are many girls who are not. Some girls like rock and metal. (Or so they say. :P)

Boys totally love pop music and are just embarrassed in front of girls. My dad who is 46 likes Justin Bieber

Its not true! There are sooo many Female metalheads/rockfans its not like only boys like rock/metal and girls like pop! Boys too listen to pop trash!

So that boys can't go to concerts? I have never been to one before as my music sources are mostly Internet based.

Wait, what's wrong with this? Do you not go to rock and metal concerts?

I'm going to an alternative concert in 81 days!

Magazines? I don't even read magazines, just to look at pictures of One Direction, Ross Lynch, and Justin Bieber, no thank you, I don't like that garbage. I much rather read books like The Outsiders or any good graphic books than to read magazines about girly boys that are called "hot",.

I do it just to write complaint notes about it. Like this one!

Girly girls in the UK often read mags like "Girl Talk" or "Go-Girl" about celebs like Justin Bieber and Little Mix.Some of them have way to much cheesy gossip

This is especially true for me. My sister will listen to Justin Bieber and Nicki Minaj day in and day out and it drives me insane!

It just goes to show you that girls (and anybody) will listen to whatever piece of crap you bring out to them.

Soft music is boring, I like loud music with screaming and fun fast paced beats, that is way more fun. But sometimes I listen to soft music depending on the song.

Soft music? Really? Boring, I like my music loud and fast paced, as well as energetic, not a song to sleep to.

I'm a girl and I hate most modern pop. Only few pop artists I ever liked.

Well, actually... I prefer rock and metal. And I'm a girl.

Who the hell do you think you are...

This is why I don't like stuff like 5 Seconds Of Summer and One Direction.

And not the reverse? I am a young 13 year old girl and I don't like pop. not all girls do.

I'm the same age and a girl too. Every pop song is always about love. *sigh*

Not all pop music is bad, but a reason why I like some pop music is because it's catchy. Nothing really wrong with that, as long as you don't focus all of your attention on its catchiness.

I'm a girl and I love the tune of pop music. It makes me want to dance!

Admittedly, I do like some songs for their catchyness, but some catchy songs are bad though.

Not me, I want to meet good and talented musicians, so they can talk to me about how they play their instruments or who had they been influenced by, not some stupid cute boys that are only popular for their looks.

So? For me, meeting Corpsegrinder would be nice. Wouldn't everyone like to meet their favourite musicians?

No, I don't, not today's pop stars.

Just pointing it out, not in favor of pop music or anything, but usually Autotune is used to correct pitches subtly. Autotune doesn't necessarily mean that the s/he is a bad singer. It can also be used to give the human voice something that isn't that human (haha, if that makes sense), which can make things more emotional, or some other feeling. One thing though...it can't really fix a singer is really bad to begin with.

Sorry for the wordiness.

Even the crappiest songs have some great production; can't argue with that.

I am a female and I am a fan of electronic soul music (labels like SOULECTION, HW&W, Deep Heads, Soultiquette, Féte). I also started listening to some kinds of metal and rock music, and I am a teenager and not a fan of most modern pop music anymore since 2017. I also like and influence a good hip-hop/rap music, trap, jazz, R&B, blues, real country (not country pop), folks, Bossa Nova, Chillhop, Vaporwave, funk, soul, gospel, primal music, pre-colonial music, old house music, jazz house music, Ambient, Ambient trap, and old pop music (20th Century music).

That's not true. I'm a female I listen to hard rock all the time. I'm not really a metal head but I listen to it sometimes. By the way pop does suck. I really hate Justin Bieber, fifth harmony, 1D,Taylor Swift, etc. It's garbage.

I don't listen to the radio, most of the music on the radio sucks, there are barely any good rock songs on the radio and most of it is country and pop, boring.

I don't understand these kids nowadays just keep on listening or singing crappy ass top hit songs. These bother me wherever I go or to hang out with my siblings or classmates including my former ones.

Yeah, this is actually logical and not sexist (though it also applies to boys with rap). But some girls get out of listening to pop. For me, I started listening to Nightwish and Skillet when I was nine.

Their friends all listen to pop so they do to fit in, and they rarely find out there is better music out there than the crap that's being force fed through their ears.

My sister in a nutshell.
