Name:Popular Music
Location:A Very Musical, Reunion
About:[info]popular_music focuses on the academic, pseudo-academic and unprofessional-yet-dedicated study and discussion of (popular) music and related subjects, e.g. the influences of popular music on popular culture or specific subcultures/youth cultures (and vice versa), music & film/music in film, music & television, the 'bastardisation' of popular music etc.

[info]popular_music is NOT a trading/sharing community, i.e. its purpose is not the sharing or trading of music or video files. We do, however, allow our members to include such files (as well as screen captures, scans of articles, advertisements etc.) if these files are deemed necessary for the better understanding of the subject at hand (e.g. because not all community members might know the referenced material/media).

If you would like to leave links to mp3s, music videos, interviews etc. that are not relevant to any of the current topics or on-going discussions but which you think might still be of interest to other community members, you must do so in a friends-locked and appropriately tagged entry.


Community rules:
  • stay on topic,
  • no l33t or AOL kids speak (your English doesn't have to be perfect, but please check your entries for grammar & spelling mistakes before posting them. Hint: LJ's built-in spellcheck is your friend!),
  • no flaming of or harassing other community members,
  • use an LJ-cut when posting large pictures/a large number of pictures,
  • avoid hotlinking - instead, create an account with a free image hosting service like Photobucket for sharing pictures or use services like Megaupload for uploading and sharing audio and video files etc,
  • absolutely NO advertising of other communities (you may, however, include a link to a community that might be of interest to members of [info]popular_music with your on-topic post),
  • you MUST tag your posts with the appropriate tags, otherwise they'll get deleted (regardless of their contents!!!)

[info]pm_moderators is the moderator journal for [info]popular_music. All community-relevant news and updates will be posted from this account.

You may crosspost (i.e. re-post an entry that you posted to your own journal or another community), but please note that all off-topic posts (e.g. introduction posts, advertisements for other communities, quizzes & memes, "spam" etc.) as well as entries and comments containing links to music or video downloads that are *not* friends-locked will get deleted without warning.

Trolling will result in an immediate ban from the community. Flamers and members who post off-topic entries will receive one warning before getting banned for good.


If you have questions, suggestions or complaints, please leave a comment on the moderator journal or send an e-mail to either pm.moderators @ gmail.com or popular.music.moderators @ gmail.com (you'll have to remove the spaces before and after the @ sign to get your message(s) sent).
