Jenesaispop, also known as JNSP, is an online Spanish independent news and reviews website focused on pop music, although it is also dedicated to films, TV series, books and comics. It was founded in 2006 by nine friends, including various journalists, who wanted to dignify pop music through recommendations of non-mainstream records. It has been referred to as the most-read independent music website in Spain as of 2020, year in which they published their first book.
History
Jenesaispop was founded in 2006 by nine friends, including various journalists, who had their respective personal blogs and wanted to dignify pop music through an online fanzine with recommendations of songs that they considered were not receiving the exposure they deserved.{{cite web|url=https://www.mondosonoro.com/blog-musica/entrevistamos-a-jenesaispop-por-su-decimo-aniversario/|title=Entrevistamos a Jenesaispop por su décimo aniversario|work=Mondo Sonoro|last=Queipo|first=Alan|language=es|date=February 25, 2016|access-date=August 5, 2022}}{{cite web|url=https://www.vogue.es/living/articulos/jenesaispop-libro-mejores-discos|title=Jenesaispop celebra sus 15 años de historia con un libro que repasa los mejores discos de música del siglo XXI|work=Vogue|last=Cordo|first=Elisa|language=es|date=March 4, 2021|access-date=August 5, 2022}} They consider themselves "a pop music media above all" that endorses music "that anyone would like".
