What the hell does any of this even mean?
Wikipedia is even scarier!!!
Seriously, can somebody give me a better definition? You hear this word invoked almost constantly, yet nobody can define it. It's like the "warmth" of music marketing.

my use of it follows this exactly:
The part of a song that jumps out at you, that you remember the song by.

xpost so I can agree with that definition, it frees it up so that it can refer to anything... a lyric, a drum fill, a bass note, etc.
but what makes it memorable? simplicity? or something more?
I have a feeling there is probably something about this in that Musicophilia book I am trying (and failing) to read.

i don't think you can clearly define (in a general sense anyway) what makes a hook memorable

I've used the phrase "bubblegum hook" three times in review/features over the past four or five months. I'm not proud.
