Pop/Rock

Description

Pop/Rock is a genre that combines the catchy melodies and hooks of pop music with the energy and instrumentation of rock. It often features electric guitars, strong rhythms, and anthemic choruses.

History

Pop/Rock emerged in the mid-1960s as rock and roll evolved and artists began to blend the upbeat, accessible elements of pop with the more rebellious and energetic aspects of rock music. Bands like The Beatles and The Beach Boys were instrumental in popularizing this fusion, leading to a wide array of subgenres and styles over the decades.
