  Pop music - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pop music is a common part of popular music, sometimes regarded as a subgenre of its own, generally featuring memorable melodies with strong recognizable rhythms and catchy refrains.
Pop songs' popularity can be explained by its 'hook': they often have one or more musical ideas intended to gain a listener's interest.
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.
