Electro Pop

Description

Electro Pop is a genre that combines the catchy melodies and song structures of pop music with the electronic sounds and production techniques of electronic music. It often features synthesizers, drum machines, and a futuristic or polished aesthetic.

History

Electro Pop emerged in the late 1970s and early 1980s as artists began to experiment with synthesizers and electronic instruments, influenced by the earlier electronic music of Kraftwerk and the burgeoning new wave scene. It gained mainstream popularity with artists like Gary Numan, Depeche Mode, and later acts like Pet Shop Boys and Madonna, who incorporated electronic elements into their pop music.
