【正确答案】My Idea of Pop Music
Pop music is held in contempt by many people. In these people's eyes pop music is always in sharp contrast to "lofty music ". The latter mainly refers to symphonies and operas of the European countries. They show great concern to the fact that many people prefer pop music to symphonies, because for them pop music should be excluded from the holy palace of music.
Conversely, many people have an ardour for pop music. They argue that people who want us to listen to symphonies are advocating a kind of "elite culture". This notion is unacceptable to pop music fans, for they don't believe that symphonies are loftier than pop music. The difference only lies in the interests of different people. It is unfair to speak of pop music with contempt while speaking of symphonies with awe.
In conclusion, my idea is that just as there is no distinction between high culture and low culture, so it is inappropriate to say pop music belongs to the "lower" people whereas symphonies is a higher, loftier form of music. After all, there are many badly composed symphonies. And we can't expect every piece of pop music to be excellent. Pop music reflects the thoughts and interests of a certain age group or a generation. It is the product of a certain age, but it also has something universal, something that belongs to all human beings, that underlies its great success among people. In this sense it is rather foolish for some people of media to show great concern simply because many people prefer pop music. Anyway pop music has become an indispensable part of the music family.
