Genre Motif/Pop

This genre is a bit hard to quantify when used for character development. Most of the music used in popular fiction is a variant of pop, since it has radio friendliness and Multiple Demographic Appeal. Generally, only manufactured pop written for tweens gets used as character development, meant to show someone as unrefined or naive. While the main character might be some high school boy that likes Red Hot Chili Peppers, you can bet his little sister listens to Hannah Montana.

Examples:
 * Pop music is associated with The Question on a few occasions in Justice League Unlimited, which reinforces his air of eccentricity.
