Mention 'Pop Music' to someone, and for most people, the image of Britney Spears or Justin Timberlake spring to mind. Channels like MTV which have been around since the 1980’s has since popularised pop music culture over the years.
More recently, Korean pop has become a huge hit among teens in Singapore with many fans obsessing over their Korean Idols. In October 2010, there was a Korean Pop Night concert held at the Singapore Expo, drawing over 9000 fans.
The impact of pop music on teens is really dependent on the individual. Those who simply. adore pop music and embrace the culture may go to extreme lengths to meet their idols or even try to emulate how their idols act or dress
.
"Music can provide many positive and negetive effects on the teenage psyche. The effects of music include and are not limited to the altercation of study habits, introduction and development to slang, and damages eardrums."
