'Disco today, up­heav­al to­mor­row, coun­try party the day after to­mor­row' - Brief notes on pop sum­mits - Prof Dr Chris­toph Jacke gives key­note speech at the POP Sum­mit 2024

More than 30 years later, some whimsical retrospective & above all forward-looking comments on the current social role of pop are to be made: Between youth culture & historicisation, rebellion & ordinariness, diversity & conformity, progression & regression, exploration & unpredictability, and between peak & valley. In which direction are politics & pop promotion developing?
