The maximum duration of each song is three minutes, and although musicians of any genre can play, the musicians and songs selected for the Contest tend towards very commercial
pop (often called '
Euro Pop'). Some viewers of the Contest view the event as a combination of
camp entertainment and a musical
'train wreck' (a fact played upon in the UK broadcast with the sardonic BBC commentary of
Terry Wogan) and a subculture of Eurovision Song Contest
drinking games has evolved in some countries.
