Unplugged music is an expression given to music which uses instruments in their natural forms for eg. Without amplifiers, microphones or even a device for recording what is being played.
So, can popular music ever really be unplugged?
Let's say your idea of popular music is folk music or opera music, which you go and listen to live in a very intimate space. In this case, it is possible for popular music to truley be "unplugged". However, generally speaking, popular music is music heard by a great amount of people and therefor in order to reach the mass public, the music would have had to be recorded. This is not achievable without some sort of microphone. And finally, in order to achieve the right balance of sound by each instrument, amplifiers would also be used.
Seeing as devices such as the microphone, the amplifier and a recording device needs to be used so that music can reach the masses, popular music cannot ever really be unplugged. This is the same for acoustic music.
This is reasonably good but you are marginally over the word limit.
