How easy is it to write a pop song? Two YouTubers set out to find out.
There is a long-standing debate about the influence of an artist's musical taste on their work. For example, when Lady Gaga performed with Metallica at the Grammy Awards after confessing to being a big fan of the band, many questioned the boundaries between musical genres.

The result was better than expected, leading to many comments on the video saying it sounded more like pop punk or pop rock. Listen to the track below.
