For more than ten years now, the label P-pop has become a terminology used to refer to a new genre of music. Often than not, it is used to mean the rising Philippine idol groups and also compared to OPM or Original Pilipino Music.
But what is it exactly? Is not P-pop Pilipino popular music by definition?
An Internet search for P-pop will give different definitions of it, what it covers, and what it represents. There are those who use it to mean the idol groups. There are articles written wherein it was used interchangeably with OPM. While there are also those who use it as an umbrella terminology for everything Filipino made. It can not all be correct, right?
Simple answer?
P-pop, or Pinoy Popular music, is all music composed or performed by a Filipino.
OPM, or Original Pilipino Music, is every original music composed by a Filipino.
The #fandoms on #Twitter are definitely having a very hard time. I think this is a very good opportunity for #Tumblr to launch their #ActivityPub integration and open their platform to the #fediverse.

They started the #ppop movement, which is Filipino pop that is partly informed by #kpop with the emphasis on high budget M/Vs, choreography, photocards, etc.
