Adult contemporary music, frequently abbreviated to just AC, is a type of radio format that plays mainstream and pop music, without hip-hop or rap since, as per the name, it is geared more towards adults than teens.
Soft AC is also known as "lite" music, and many radio stations across North America that play Soft AC refer to themselves as "lite" stations.
Soft AC, however, which has never minded keeping songs in high rotation literally for years in some cases, and plays a larger amount of older music, especially classic RandB, soul, and '60s and '70s music, than Hot AC, does not appear necessarily to be facing similar pressures to expand its format.

Adult contemporary is essentially a continuation of the soft rock style that became popular in the '70s, with a few adjustments that reflect the evolution of pop-music production techniques.
Adult contemporary was usually melodic enough to hold listeners' attention, but agreeable and inoffensive enough to work equally well as background music; most critics reviled it as sonic wallpaper or overly safe, sentimental glop, but that didn't prevent it from becoming one of the most popular radio formats of the '80s.
Adult contemporary's visibility dwindled just a bit in the '90s, mainly because the rigidly compartmentalized state of radio and the decline of Top 40 programming during the decade meant that AC artists couldn't necessarily rely on as much hit-making exposure outside of their core adult audience.

Soft rock emerged in the early '70s, partially as a reaction to the extreme sounds of the late '60s.
Soft rock was commercial and inoffensive, taking the sound of singer/songwriter and pop/rock but smoothing out all the edges.
Throughout the '70s, soft rock dominated the airwaves and it eventually metamorphosized into the syntheszed sounds of adult contemporary in the '80s.

Adult Contemporary Stations (AC) today serve the same purpose as the middle-of-the- road (MOR) stations of yesterday.
Adult contemporary is the most difficult radio format to define because the phrase has been used to market everything from hits to soft pop.
Because adults are busy with other things, AC stations have fewer actives among their audience than other formats.
