  Pop music - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pop music is a subgenre of popular music, generally featuring memorable melodies with catchy refrains.
It was created as a synonym of "rock 'n' roll" during the birth of the rock era in the 1950s, in order to separate the then new and controversial form of music from the jazz, gospel, big band music, and classical music that had come before it.
Sometimes - in the case of the British pop group Hear'Say, for example - young and fashionable people who have little or no prior knowledge of the music industry are transformed into a band that sells music and related merchandise to a preteen or teenage audience.

 Strike the Band: Pop Music Without Musicians
Today, more and more pop is created not by conventional musicianship but by using samplers, digital editing software and other computerized tools to stitch together prerecorded sounds.
Musicians made sounds, they didn't buy them — as they do today, literally, whether in a kit of pre-recorded samples or out of a distinctive-sounding synthesizer.
First-class working musicians do something special: using their minds and bodies, they arrive at, and physically execute, near-perfect solutions to problems that get tossed in their laps at the speed of sound.

 Pop music - free-definition   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Successful pop music--which is usually measured in terms of its commercial success, without any regard for broader artistic merit--is usually performed by charismatic performers who may or may not be musically talented but who look attractive, are fashionable, and usually are able to dance well.
A particular style of song particularly associated with the pop genre is the love ballad, a slow song in which the performers sing usually highly sentimental songs about various aspects of romantic love.
Though most of today's manufactured pop stars have been shaped to fit the image and style of these more famous and successful stars, these older stars were all from a period before Milli Vanilli and all have legitimate musical talent of their own, as writers, producers, and/or instrument-players.
