What defines Pop music?

[Kennysplash]

I know pop music has catchy melodies. The tunes are simple, memorable and can be hummed to. They also emphasize individual songs rather than albums.

Apart from these, what else characterizes Pop music?

Pop music has a catchy melodies and memorable tunes. It's danceable because it has dance-friendly rhythms.

Yes you are right. Whenever I hear it there is always this urge to move my body to the nice rhythms it produces.

We can't help it especially with our body when we hear nice songs; moving the body and nodding the head. I hope that you dance well to the rhythms.

I think simple lyrics are important too. The topics can vary a lot but there aren't many pop songs with lyrics that have a deeper meaning...when listening to pop nobody expects a lyrical genius of some sorts.
Also the topic shouldn't be too complicated or heavy. Songs about love, friendship, sex and just daily aspects of life are the most featured ones, while texts about war, political topics and criticism of society really aren't common and successful in the genre.
