Our readers (and listeners) always have questions for The New York Times pop music team. In our second of two Popcasts devoted to answering them, we covered the quickly spreading influence of Billie Eilish, the pervasiveness of My Chemical Romance and 2000s pop-emo, the fervency of the rock-critic fan base of the indie rock band Big Thief, the popularity of the Grammy stalwart Gary Clark Jr., Britney Spears’s conservatorship, why Aaliyah’s music is still largely not on streaming services, reviewing music recorded in languages other than English and more.
