“Every music fan has stories like this. There’s a delicious, productive tension at the heart of a pop song, between the personal and the universal, which anyone who’s fretted over a mixtape will grasp intuitively. No other popular art form relies so much on the first person, which makes pop a vehicle for the most intense self-expression, not just by the people who make it but by the ones who listen to it.”
