pop crack

Pop songs that are sonically engineered to be formulaic enough for the radio, follow the trends of pop music, are catchy and easy to follow, but also shocking and unique in some way that sets them apart from everything else on the radio, making the listener want to listen to these songs more in order to understand them. This term originated from the YouTuber "Internet Jules" as a way to describe artists such as Dua Lipa, Ariana Grande, etc. NOTE: This isn't a negative term, but is merely a term describing smart pop music writing in the industry.
