microsound as pop music

A response to "Iamnobojackson"

"Microsound" may not sound like Top 40 radio, but a fair amount of the music 
discussed on this list is packaged and marketed and distributed the same 
way, albeit with less of all mentioned. 

Stockhausen was at SONAR last year, Radiohead sampled Paul Lansky, Edgar 
Varese debuted Poem Electronique at the 1958 worlds fair. 

Show me the distinction between pop and academic. 

Who is purely academic. 

How is microsound firmly not pop music. 


Ultimately this post is less of a vitriolic response, and more of an 
imploration to explain the difference.  However, I don't think "fuckn duh 
already" answers my question, or addresses the issue properly. 

Anyone?
