Everyone knows that guy/girl who always comes to your party and stealthily plugs in their own iPod between songs. You were bumping old school Outkast, but now you have to settle for "She Wolf" by Shakira. You shrug it off because you're winning at pong at the moment, but let's be honest, that's musical imperialism.
Josey: Hey, man, I really like this country playlist. It's totally appropriate for the setting and provides a really good vibe....wait, who the fuck just put on Ludacris?
Hal: It's Ashley. She's always stealing the stereo.
Josey: Dude! That's musical imperialism at its worst right there.

Fear music is the collective name given to the ominous incidental music that is increasingly found in every facet of modern mass media. It is said of any electronically-driven low-bass incidental music of action, horror or suspense films and primetime TV shows about crime, murder and dismemberment, of some commercials and even of pseudo-documentaries appearing on the History Channel about any subject of a violent, mysterious or speculative nature (Nostradamus, end of times prophecies, Da Vinci, Hitler and other evil historical figures, ancient torture devices, the antichrist, natural disasters, war, terrorism, disease, etc.).
In dramas, it often drowns out dialogues and announces the violent content to follow. In pseudo-documentaries, it often accompanies ominous disclaimers such as “although nobody knows for certain” and “the viewer is free to draw his own conclusions”. It is often satirized in comedy shows making fun of bad movies such as the “Scary Movie” series or The Onion.
Critics see it as “the new soundtrack of America” and indicative of the present anxious mood of the US. It is also criticized as hack work using lazy musical clichés, cheap electronic or percussive effects and low-frequency vibrations designed to give the listener the creeps while rattling his dental fillings, without ever resorting to true musical invention. Its use and development have been variously credited to James Horner and other second rate film composers.
When I heard the fear music coming from the living room, I first assumed my wife was watching the History Channel. But it turns out she was just watching an infomercial about an insect repellent.
I’m surprised “Film Score Monthly” didn’t do a cover story on fear music yet.

a genre of music, pop is short for popular, so it's basically "popular" music, pop music is aimed towards kids, tweens, teenagers, high school students, and young adults the beat and melodies of pop music is very simple, pop music nowadays has electronic music playing in the background and lyrics about the life of a teenage person
I'm listening to pop music right now.

emo music = all music ever created, if you think only a certain type of music is emotional you are a dolt.
Ignoramus:"dude, why do you listen to that emo music shit?"
Me:"Do you realize that all music is emotional in one way or another?"
Ignoramus:"Nuh-uh"
Me:"Saying that only certain types of music have emotion in them is like saying that only certain types of human beings breathe."
Ignoramus:"Wow, yea I guess I am pretty fucking stupid."

Music that deals specifically with violent acts towards one individual or a large group of individuals. The music could also be about the author's own violent intentions, feelings or nature in general.
Dr. Dre and Deathrow's "187um" would be coined Merk Music, as it pertains to 187, or homicide in police radio code.

A genre of music that started in the 60's and 70's that record companies used to make a quick buck. The songs of bubble gum were usually about love, and had no thinking involved with listening to them, they also had a catchy tune that could be whistled at any particular moment. In todays society bubblegum music is everywhere and almost everything. Sometimes misunderstood for emo music or pop punk or even that mushy rap, i dont know what its called exactly, that hits for a top ten.
many bands use this style to make their music because it so effectively goes right to the top of the charts and gets them money. All they have to do to make one of these blubbery song is to right about what there feeling, most commonly about love and relationships. again not to be mistaken with emo which actually means emotive. Such bands as good charlotte, blink 182, kelly clarkson, hedley, akon, LLCoolJ, avenged sevenfold, and many many more try to squeeze whatever industry there is out their of their pocket change for these awful singles, that rarely ever make it past their first hit (alot of one hit wonders have risen from bubblegum music.
avenged sevenfold isnt emo, its bubblegum core!
shit, this isnt punk, this is just bubblegum, NOFX is loosing its touch
blah, what sellouts, they must be bubblegum
You guys suck, you stupid bubblegum band
shit, look at LLCoolJ, hes all bubblegum
"oh, avenged sevenfold is soo cool i love them!" "No, you suck, theyre bubblegum"
Man, pink floyd has been oversold by bubblegum music!
