Worth knowing that Bret Easton Ellis has a podcast in which he mainly talks about and reviews movies, but music and books also feature. It's a real pleasure listening to someone as eloquent and knowledgable on pop culture as BEE.
So I think one reason he chose pop music is simply because it is something he is super familiar with and can easily write and talk about.
