"World" (or "World Music") is a controversial classification often used in music marketing to easily discriminate different music from the anglophone genres (and even traditional anglophone Folk genres from more popular styles such as Rock, Pop, Jazz and Electronic music).
The term can thus encompass all the music ever created, from traditional African drumming and the extended qawwali singing of Pakistan's Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan through to rock'n'roll from Italy or Brazil.

The term can thus encompass all the music ever created, from traditional African drumming and the extended qawwali singing of Pakistan's Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan through to rock'n'roll from Italy or Brazil. Indeed, as even the United States has its own traditional music styles (both those of the native population and those of more recent arrivals), the description is often used to refer to an even broader collection of music than that previously outlined. One music journalist has referred to "world music" as "someone else's pop music". Those who use of this classification display a breathtaking ignorance of the variety of music through history and around the world.
In recent years, music marketing has gradually moved away from the all-encompassing "world" style, a move made partly in response to the growing popularity of Jamaican reggae and other readily-identifiable former denizens of the "world" racks. The term is also erroneously used to refer to a genre of music which fuses Anglo-Saxon popular genres with non-Western music sources, the correct term for this style is worldbeat (or world fusion).

Ain't It Fun
Paramore Lyrics
I don't mind
Letting you down easy but just give it time
If it don't hurt now, but just wait, just wait a while
You're not the big fish in the pond no more
You are what they're feeding on
So what are you gonna do
When the world don't orbit around you?
So what are you gonna do
When the world don't orbit around you?
Ain't it fun
Living in the real world?
Ain't it good
Being all alone?
Where you're from
You might be the one who's running things
Well you can ring anybody's bell and get what you want
See it's easy to ignore trouble
When you're living in a bubble
So what are you gonna do
When the world don't orbit around you?
So what are you gonna do
When nobody wants to fool with you?
Ain't it fun
Living in the real world?
Ain't it good
Being all alone?
Ain't it good to be on your own?
Ain't it fun, you can't count on no one?
Ain't it good to be on your own?
Ain't it fun you can't count on no one?
Ain't it fun
Living in the real world?
Don't go crying to your mama
'Cause you're on you're own, in the real world
Don't go crying to your mama
'Cause you're on you're own, in the real world
Don't go crying to your mama
'Cause you're on you're own, in the real world
Don't go crying to your mama
'Cause you're on you're own, in the real world
Ain't it fun, ain't it fun?
Baby now you're one of us
Ain't it fun, ain't it fun, ain't it fun?
Ain't it fun
Living in the real world?
Ain't it good, ain't it good
Being all alone?
Ain't it fun
Living in the real world?
('Cause the world don't orbit around you)
Ain't it good, ain't it good
Being all alone?
Don't go crying to your mama
'Cause you're on your own, in the real world
Don't go crying to your mama
'Cause you're on your own, in the real world
Don't go crying to your mama
'Cause you're on your own, this is the real world
Don't go crying to your mama
'Cause you're on your own,
In the real world (this is the real world, this is the real world)
Don't go crying to your mama
'Cause you're on your own, in the real world
Don't go crying to your mama
'Cause you're on your own, in the real world
Don't go crying to your mama
Don't go crying

My brother played this in the car after he graduated high school and we both cried from nostalgia and because it's true.

I lost my mom in 2020 I remember playing this song in car with her. She looked at me and laughed she said “pay attention, this is the real world, I won’t be here forever” I cried so hard when I heard this song after she passed cause I can still her smug smiling face looking at me and her words echoing in the back of my head, I had to pull over to “get my shit together and get my ass in gear” as she would always say. I love this song and I love my mom. RIP 🕊
