What is the definition of secular music?
Always break apart phrases into the words' separate meanings.
This makes it easier to fully understand. Secular means, in
general, things that are not religious or spiritual. Music is vocal
/and/or instrumentals, or both, that provide entertainment or
expression of emotion.
So secular music is instrumental or lyrics that have nothing to
do with religious ideas or views.

Though Elvis Presley was known mostly for his secular music of
the rock n' roll genre, he loved singing spiritual gospel
music.

Asked in Music Theory, Secularism
What Medieval secular music exist in the popular music today?
Very little music from the Medieval era is present today. And
even less so in the secular variety. The Medieval era was primarily
religious, mostly stapled by Gregorian Chant, motets and organa.
The little secular music came mostly from french musicians -
northern wandering Trouveres and the southern Troubadours. Today,
you would be VERY hard pressed to find any Medieval secular music
in popular music today. Very little existed back then. And even
fewer exist now.
