And THIS^ man was a definite pop star in his days of classical.
Ok, so this what I thought, but others I have been talking to scoff at the idea that classical music was considered pop music in its day. I don't know if that that's the elitist in them talking, but they say that classical music was considered to be the music of the very rich and privileged. The more common music of the day was folk music.
Also, I just want to talk about how people are claiming that pop music of today seems to be in decline, because, if I remember correctly, pop music back in Elvis's day was considered to be 'not real music' too if I'm not mistaken. The same thing with jazz, the beat generation, and etc. I mean...isn't that how it usually goes? The older generation can't accept the new pop music and the younger ones reject the older stuff? Then, somewhere there's a revival of the old stuff and it just gets recycled again or something brand new comes out of it?
I mean we're going through a eruodance/trance/electro pop inspired era, but all of that was inspired by disco which, I believe, originated in America back in the 1970s no? Am I mistaken on this?

the style that Mozart wrote in (Classical) was actually based on a very folky style of music that was initially looked down upon as simplistic after Bach's achievements in Baroque.
Later in his life, Mozart was famously accused of using "too many notes" as he elevated the style to something more than what it had been. So it was not exactly "pop" music at the end of his life.
But like Rock & Roll or Jazz, Classical grew out of a popular movement that trickled upward to the more edumacated composers. That is how you might compare Prince to Mozart or Beatles to Beethoven for how they elevated their respective forms.

I can actually agree that Mozart was indeed the first pop artist from the descriptions I'm getting.

I wouldn't say he's the first pop artist (any folk musician is doing pop music IMO), but he is definintely an early example of a famous one.
You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton
