popular musicology

The field of musicological study that engages with popular forms of music, especially music associated with commerce, entertainment and leisure activities. It is distinct from 'popular music studies' in its primary concern with criticism and analysis of the music itself, although it does not ignore social and cultural context.
The journal Popular Musicology Online, which began as a print-based journal in 1994 at the University of Salford, UK.

For girls, popularity is basically this:

When other girls want to be you, and guys want to bang you.

Sad, but true! I'd rather not be "popular"
Girl: "Oooh I wish I were as popular as her! She's so pretty!"

Guy: "Damn, that girl's fine!"

Some popular people are nice, funny, cool, and good at sports. Other popular kids are not funny, fake, and suck at life. It really depends on the person.
Popular Kid A is nice, funny as hell, and plays varsity basketball, Popular Kid B is such a fake ass bitch, who sits around and does crack.

You guys are fucking idiots. Popular kids aren't always "chavs" like you all say. Just because they are arrogant jackasses at your school, doesn't mean they all are. I admit, I'm a jock/popular kid, but I don't go around acting "propa hard" or "act gangsta" or beat people up. So shut the fuck up.

When one individual is liked by most/all of their peers and no one can say anything negative about them. Popular is not rich, mean people who think they're better than anybody else (at least according to me). Whoever thinks this is really shallow and needs to get to know people first before making stereotypes.
Billy-Jean: Amy is so nice to everybody!
Billy-Bob: Yeah, she's popular.
