 Bubblegum pop @ Soundbug
Bubblegum pop (bubblegum rock, bubblegum music) is a genre of popular music and/or rock and roll.
Though many disagree, the band members actually referred to themselves as a "nouveau bubblegum band with teeth." Their songs were all simple, three-chord riffs with catchy choruses that occasionally made little sense (such as "Gabba Gabba Hey") and appeared on their album covers in cartoon form.
Though the band covered "Indian Giver", a massive bubblegum hit, at one point, many critics would still not classify even that song as bubblegum because the purpose of such punk covers (many punk bands cover pop hits) is to deconstruct the original.

A cautionary tale about the cost of becoming one of pop's expendable icons, "Bubblegum Babylon" explores the dark history and culture of carefully-crafted, sticky-sweet pop music directed toward teens -- its songs, its bands, its commercialism, its undeniable relevance -- from inside the bubblegum music machine.
"Bubblegum Babylon" goes inside the industry to examine how this pre-teen pop is literally "manufactured" and profiles the songwriters, producers, impresarios and image-makers behind the cold and calculating business of selling the same kinds of bands time and time again.
