This is not an 'explanation' of pop music. Nor is it a history of pop music. Nor does it pretend to cover the whole pop scene. Nor is it a film with definite conclusions about pop or violence or anything else. It merely presents -as accurately as possible-the evidence to support or contradict what the pop people themselves who appear in the film are talking about. It is left to you to decide whether what they say has any truth or not.
