Wikipedia article"'This Is Pop'" is a song by the English rock band XTC from their 1978 album 'White Music'. A rerecorded version, typeset as "'This Is Pop?'", was released as the group's third single. BackgroundGuitarist Andy Partridge wrote "This Is Pop" as a response to journalistic terms for music genres such as "punk", which he believed were redundant of "pop". The song's opening F chord was based on the Beatles' "A Hard Day's Night" (1964). LegacyThe song title was adopted for the 2017 documentary about the band, 'XTC: This Is Pop'.
