Stuff I Like: Pop Music

This blog is all about the pop music I like. You’ll find posts about my favorite songs, albums, and artists, as well as news and commentary on the pop music scene.

Pop Music

There are a lot of things I like and pop music is one of them. I like the way it sounds and I like the way it makes me feel. 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.

What is pop music?

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 (regardless of genre or style) while the latter refers to a specific musical genre within popular music.

Pop music is eclectic, and often borrows 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 structure), as well as common use of repeated choruses, melodic tunes, and catchy hooks. In other words, pop music is designed to be easy to listen to and enjoy.

Why do I like pop music?

The first time I ever remember hearing pop music was when I was very young. My mom was playing the radio in the kitchen while she was cooking, and I remember hearing a song that I immediately liked. I asked her what it was, and she told me it was called “Don’t Stop Believin'” by Journey. From then on, I was hooked on pop music.

I like pop music because it’s catchy and upbeat. It’s the kind of music that makes you want to sing along and dance. It’s also usually pretty easy to understand, which I appreciate. I don’t always want to have to think too hard about what a song is trying to say; sometimes I just want to enjoy the melody and the beat.

Pop music is also usually pretty positive and upbeat, which I appreciate. In a world that can be pretty tough and stressful, it’s nice to be able to listen to music that makes you feel good. Pop songs are often about love and happiness, which are two things that I always try to focus on in my own life.

If you’ve never really given pop music a chance, I encourage you to give it a shot. You might be surprised at how much you like it!
