Genres
Pop music is a genre of popular music that originated in its modern form in the United States and United Kingdom during the mid-1950s. The terms “popular music” and “pop music” are often used interchangeably, although the former describes all music that is popular.
Pop music is eclectic, and often borrowing elements from other styles such as urban, dance, rock, Latin, and country. Identifying factors include generally short to medium-length songs written in a basic format (often the Verse-Chorus form), as well as common use of repeated choruses, melodic tunes, and hooks. Harmonic analysis indicates that pop songs are traditionally constructed within diatonic modes and scales such as major and minor.
The most common time signature for pop songs is 4/4 (known as common time), with a moderate tempo around 120 beats per minute. This time signature was derived from rock ‘n’ roll. Pop feels open and expansive in its melodies while utilizing simple harmonic progressions.
The pre-chorus or bridge sections are commonly used to introduce variety into the song or prepare the listener for the chorus. These sections typically containtown harmonic progressions with chord changes every two beats. The usage of these sections has been derived from gospel musicand blues.
