What does that say about the popularity of pop music and the stars themselves? Do you notice how most people you know never talk about liking pop music? But if you think about it, most of the people you know probably do like it. How could they not when a little less than 1/3 of the US population likes Katy Perry? Are most pop music listeners keeping their music preference a secret out of embarrassment? It's definitely not "cool" to like pop music. Corporate crap is not cool! It's not music!
Now sure not all of those Twitter subscribers necessarily like her music. There are other reasons people follow pop stars like Katy Perry. I mean she does seem like a cool chick.
As for me, I've never bought a pop album but I am guilty of downloading pop songs I like. I do listen to pop on the radio sometimes. I would never subscribe to a pop star's Twitter though. I mean that's going the extra mile.
Basically my question is that when we think of pop music fans, we think of teenage girls or younger adult women liking it, but is the truth that pop music fans are a big diverse group of people and they just don't openly admit they like pop music?
