I plan on learning music theory, have for a while but have so many creative projects to get finished before I dive into studying music theory but thank you for explaining. I have heard classic rock songs much less "heavy" than Ayu's music and it was never classified as pop although these bands are quite popular. So it never made any sense to me.
