Through pop music ideas, energies and resources can emerge that can help the audience release themselves from the unrelieving confinements of environment.

Pop music can play a large part in the way numerous young people determine their right to desire and their need to question.

Pop music can somehow survive being inhibited and mangled by its harsh and stupid commercial chains, and there is surely irreducible potential because of the 'star system' and the volatile attention pop receives for multiples of wickedness, ridicule, discontent, eccentricity, desire to thrive importantly in a genuinely popular context.
