Pop Music - Pop music is a genre ofpopular music which
originated in its modern form in the1950s, deriving from rock and
roll. As a genre, pop music is very eclectic, often borrowing
elements
from other styles including urban, dance, rock, Latin and
country. Such include generally short-to-
medium length songs, written in a basic format as well as the
common employment of repeated
choruses, melodic tunes, and catchy hooks.
Throughout its development, pop music has absorbed influences
from most other genres of popular
music. Early pop music drew on the sentimental ballad for its
form, instrumentation from jazz, country,
and rock music, orchestration from classical music and recently
has started to include tempo from
dance music, backing from electronic music, rhythmic elements
from hip-hop music, and has recently
appropriated spoken passages from rap.

Characteristics of Pop Music:
Pop music is produced to appeal to the broadest-possible
audience; its sole purpose is selling records,
and not artistic merit or integrity - which can lead to bland,
soulless music.
Aims to appeal to a wide audience, rather than any subculture or
ideology. Verse-chorus song structure. Recording and production is
considered more important than live performance. Usually around 3
minutes in duration. Dance orientated rhythms. Attempts to follow
current pop culture trends. Focus on melodies and catchy hooks.
Chorus usually contrasts melodically and rhythmically with the
verse.
