"Definition" section cleanup
Right now the definition section begins by discussing the topic of "Folk Music". But the lead section of the article specifically excludes folk music from popular music. The rest of the definition section, as a whole, is neither cohesive nor coherent. There are several possible reasons for that.
If there are separate definitions that disagree, they need to be clearly laid out separately, rather than jumping back and forth between them without warning.
Unless someone disagrees soon with a good reason, I'm going to delete the "Folk Music" paragraph in the definition for being irrelevant. Even if it IS relevant somehow, it certainly can't be anywhere near the first paragraph, since the point is to define "Popular Music" and not to define something else.
