I don’t think that popular music can ever be unplugged because there are too many elements of technology incorporated into music from its creation even though songs are written down they’re recorded in studios and recording started in 1898 because of Valdemar.
The release of a song is promoted through television, internet or radio adverts or interviews with the artists. And then these songs are Distributed either through CD’s which were first pressed in 1982 in Germany or download form, you could even catch their new single on such channels as MTV.
Even if we look at the reason why we have certain pieces of instrument, for example the microphone which was created in 1827 but used by Emile Berliner in 1876 to increase the voice on a telephone, we see that technology is linked to music from the start.

what is popular
there are a lot of different explanations for the word popular it can be used to describe many things for example culture, food and a person but in terms of music , popular music is any genre of music having wide appeal (but usually only for a short time). Certain things are only classed as popular if they are liked by a lot of people. If we talk about popular culture, popular music is class as a popular item of popular culture but it is also classed as low culture because it isn’t part of high culture. Even though it is popular doesn’t mean it is the best type of music it is just the music that has been excluded from the elite class and left for anyone to enjoy
