Music magazine: Four genres defined
Pop:
Pop music is a genre of popular music which originated in its modern form in the 1950s, deriving from rock and roll. The terms popular music and pop music are often used interchangeably, even though the former is a description of music which is popular (and can include any style), whilst the latter is a specific genre containing qualities of mass appeal. Pop music usually contains electronic, urban, dance, latin and country.
For example of a pop artist one would be: Katy Perry.
What kind of target audience is pop music aimed at?
Pop music is aimed at a younger target audience. Usually teenagers ranging from the age of seven to twenty five. Although, a lot of radio stations play pop music on repeat and radio listeners range from all ages.
