There was a flatscreen TV mounted on the board.

"We've talked classic rock now let's venture to pop music. Pop music is another branch of a genre called popular music, actually pop music is one of the more recognizable form of music today. An' it's really not that complicated some people even refer to pop music as bubblegum 'cause of its simplicity. Usually the lyrics are often about romance and heartbreak and well..." she arched an eyebrow, "sex."

"The 1980s produced one of the most number of pop music and you know this because of the hair, shoulder pads an' the very purple eyeshadow but mostly, because of this," Rose turned on the TV and a group of men with mullets proceeded to sing, "by the way, this is one of the more popular '80s band back then... they're called any guesses? If you think it has anything to do with the word 'pop' you're not wrong."

As soon as the song was done Rose clicked off the telly. "Short trivia, the eighties also saw the birth of a network so crucial to our culture it spawned a whole new lifestyle, an' that's the MTV. Somethin' we'll be discussin' soon and I hope you read up about the subject. An' one of your projects would be to create an MTV of your own... so..." Rose looked at them, "I hope you do take that class seriously."

Rose tilted her head and studied her class, "You lot have been in this time period for months now so I'm gonna put your knowledge about this era to the test... what are the top ten pop music artists to date (to date bein' early 1990s to... well today. Any question's you'll be havin' I'll be at the back."

Rose grinned, "All right, free pass, I actually like your band... so anythin' else other than Teal Dear?"

There was actually a noticeable, no-question-about-it grin at that. "Kind of a tough question, though. Are we talkin' top ten based on quality, influence, popularity...?"

"Cheeky," she said, "All right, surprise me Señor Chad."

At which point Chad launched into a highly impressive ~~and totally handwavey as the mun is way too dead from work for a freakin' thesis paper~~ and extensive ramble regarding both perspectives, several tons of bands and why he felt they'd earned a place on the list. It could be considered a pretty in-depth ramble, probably more than Chad had ever talked about anything, but it was music here.

And he was totally a nerd when it came to music.

It was important.

Rose just kind of stood back and listened and as soon as he was done, she let out a whistle.

"That was fantastic, you know a whole lot about this subject."

Chad shrugged his shoulders. "I like music."

"Maybe we can talk about it sometime, later? I could use the help with the next topic."

With a slight grunt of agreement, Chad nodded. "I'd like to help, yeah."

Rose grinned, "Fantastic, just tell me when you're free!"

Another shrug. "Pretty free, just not on a Monday or Friday. Got work."

There was a pause.

"Although I work in a music store, and it's not like anything ever happens, so we could probably talk there, too."

"Brilliant, I'll stop by next week." She patted his shoulder, "See you then, Chad."
