Frank Zappa once replied to someone, pointing out that according to him there wasn’t anything happening in Jazz these days, that Jazz was not Dead. It just smelled funny.
The same goes for Pop music. Times change but great songs with just the right sound and really gorgeous, catchy stirring or ever winding mesmerizing melodies are still beeing made but with another approach and sensibility.
Electronica changed a lot. At first it was an odd one out [those old robot sounds really sticked out] but now it’s the dominant soundscape of our time. Even artists that are not linked to Electro incorporate electronic sounds, rhythms or stylistic aspects in their music. As a result there is plenty of music out there that can’t be filed as strictly electronic or strictly pop, or rock or dance music. It‘s a kind of hybrid. A mix and match.

best post title ever
Thanx mate, I'm a fan of your site. It's a piety is not totally my idea, but who cares. 20 jazzfunk greats has always been one of my favourite mocking album titles.
