Abstract:This essay article deals with artspeak about music, especially refering to pop music. Commented on by authorities, the focus is on the difficulty of finding words for describing audible features that the hearer listens for in appreciating music as an art form. In the case of pop music, the problem gets complicated due to the absence of any theoretical writing tradition.
