What is happening to pop music and pop culture? Synthesizers, samplers and MDI systems
have allowed anyone with basic computing skills to make music. Exchange is now automatic
and weightless with the result that the High Street record store is dying. MySpace,
Twitter and You Tube are now more important publicity venues for new bands than the
concert tour routine. Unauthorized consumption in the form of illegal downloading
has created a financial crisis in the industry. The old postwar industrial planning
model of pop, which centralized control in the hands of major record corporations,
and divided the market into neat segments, is dissolving in front of our eyes. This
book offers readers a comprehensive guide to understanding pop music today. It provides
a clear survey of the field and a description of core concepts. The main theoretical
approaches to the analysis of pop are described and critically assessed. The book
includes a major investigation of the revolutionary changes in the production, exchange
and consumption of pop music that are currently underway.
