I d agree with this I don t really see them as being pop at all Sure pop in the sense of being relatively popular and leaning towards the more accessible radio friendly end of the alternative indie post punk whatever scene but not pop in the sense it s applied to music as a genre in its own right taking the Pop music page on here it doesn t really describe Franz Ferdinand all that well There are aspects which could be applied to them but they clearly don t fit amongst the examples that page gives of pop artists songs As above the source doesn t actually call them pop anyway but art pop whatever that may be
