POP VERSUS 1 ROCK
Rock and pop music are becoming more and more similar, but there are still some important differences.Most pop singers make music their career.They use music to become rich and famous, and they sing songs that will be liked by everybody. Rock singers, on the other hand, make music their life.They play music to satisfy 2 their inner 3 desire. They do not think how much money they can make from a song; instead, they sing for their emotions and live for music.
Pop songs and rock songs are written in different ways.A pop song is written in a "factory" where one person writes the words, someone else the music, and other musicians record it.The singer often knows little about the ideas or feelings behind the song.The process of making rock music, however, is totally different.The singers and musicians are all able to write music and work together in a band.When one of them has a strong feeling, he or she expresses it with music and the others help build the song.
Because of the different ways of thinking and writing songs, rock and pop songs also tell different stories.Most pop songs tell simple stories about love and are written to entertain 4 people.They are popular for a short time, but will soon be forgotten.Rock music, on the other hand, expresses true feelings about society, friendship and even war.Some rock songs are also about love, but the feelings they express are deeper.For example, love in a pop song is either good or bad, but in a rock song it can be both good and bad at the same time.Pop music makes people feel easy and forget about the real world; rock music makes people think about the world and how to make their life better.
