WELCOME AGAIN. HAVE ANOTHER SEAT.

The POPGAF |OT| brings you an opportunity to look beyond Top 40 and discover talent in pop hidden beneath the glitz and glamour of mainstream singles. A place for discussion on the past, present and future of the pop industry, and an information roundup on the latest from both mainstream and lesser known acts.

While “stanning” is not a requirement to participate in this thread, be aware that POPGAF is at the epicentre of stan wars in this forum. For any inquiries about the foolishness of this art form, please consult the stan encyclopedia.

~WARNING!~
This is a thread of happiness and wig snatching, but not unsupported bullscheiße. If you want to indulge in hipster trolling towards pop music, you are welcomed to create a Delusions |OT| and feed off whatever it is you want.



We urge you, however, to join us and appreciate the vast and varied landscape of pop! xoxo

Hello Pop-GAF

[Cynosure]

it's nice of you to at least give some kind of tribute for the whole reason this thread exists today.

if it weren't for that Christina tan leak thread, there wouldn't be POP GAF.
Her everlasting relevance, charisma and allure has brought us together and breathed new life into our community <333

[James Woods]

So what is the summer hit?

[Sai-kun]

[edit]Oh yah, whoops, can we please get a move to the Community section. GOOD WORK SAI-KUN.

[Phonomezer]

So what is the summer hit?

[Beysus]

Lol @ GOOGOOSHA in the OP.

What kind of bribery.

I wanna be a stan: which pop artist has the least stans?

[Crumpet Trumpet]

Lol @ GOOGOOSHA in the OP. What kind of bribery.

You'd put her in the OP too if dear leader Islam Karimov was staring you down with a vat of boiling water behind him.

[godelsmetric]

I wanna be a stan: which pop artist has the least stans?

Katy Perry.

[Artemisia]

I wanna be a stan: which pop artist has the least stans?

[Kyon]

I wanna be a stan: which pop artist has the least stans?
