CEVA34, the point of the earworm is that, like it's cousin the tapeworm, it's unwanted. You are a very lucky fellow indeed if you've never walked through a shopping centre, or been in a lift, without ever inadvertantly picking up on an annoying riff or a couple of lines of a song that just seems to 'hang-on in there', or suddenly popping back up days or even weeks later
. And I think that people are talking about pop music because that's what is mostly played in public spaces; just as with any other infection, the more people are exposed to it, the better it can spread.
