Pop Trash is Duran Duran's tenth album, released in 2000. The album marked their first release not under Capitol Records/EMI, with whom they had been signed since 1981. It was also the last to feature the trio of Simon Le Bon, Nick Rhodes and Warren Cuccurullo. The CD album went out of print in 2001. It was the only album the band released under their new agreement with Hollywood Records. After the album's poor sales, the agreement was terminated, and they would not release an album until 2004's Astronaut.
The album artwork features a rhinestone-encrusted car which belonged to Liberace.
Since July 2008, the album is available for sale digitally through the iTunes Store in the US and Europe, along with Medazzaland.

Famous quotes containing the words pop and/or trash:
“Compare the history of the novel to that of rock ‘n’ roll. Both started out a minority taste, became a mass taste, and then splintered into several subgenres. Both have been the typical cultural expressions of classes and epochs. Both started out aggressively fighting for their share of attention, novels attacking the drama, the tract, and the poem, rock attacking jazz and pop and rolling over classical music.”
—W. T. Lhamon, U.S. educator, critic. “Material Differences,” Deliberate Speed: The Origins of a Cultural Style in the American 1950s, Smithsonian (1990)
“I had to kick their law into their teeth in order to save them.
However I have heard that sometimes you have to deal
Devilishly with drowning men in order to swim them to shore.
Or they will haul themselves and you to the trash and the fish beneath.”
—Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)
