Not to be confused with Pop Rocks

Pop rock (also typeset as pop/rock[4]) is a fusion genre characterized by a strong 4️⃣ commercial appeal,[5] with more emphasis on professional songwriting and recording craft, and less emphasis on attitude than standard rock music.[6][7][1] 4️⃣ Originating in the late 1950s as an alternative to normal rock and roll, early pop rock was influenced by the 4️⃣ beat, arrangements, and original style of rock and roll (and sometimes doo-wop).[1] It may be viewed as a distinct genre 4️⃣ field rather than music that overlaps with pop and rock.[4] The detractors of pop rock often deride it as a 4️⃣ slick, commercial product and less authentic than rock music.[8]

Characteristics and etymology [ edit ]

Much pop and rock music has been 4️⃣ very similar in sound, instrumentation and even lyrical content. The terms "pop rock" and "power pop" have been used to 4️⃣ describe more commercially successful music that uses elements from, or the form of, rock music.[9] Writer Johan Fornas views pop/rock 4️⃣ as "one single, continuous genre field", rather than distinct categories.[4] To the authors Larry Starr and Christopher Waterman, it is 4️⃣ defined as an "upbeat variety of rock music" represented by artists and bands such as: Andy Kim, the Bells, Paul 4️⃣ McCartney, Lighthouse, and Peter Frampton.[10]

The term pop has been used since the early forties to refer to popular music in 4️⃣ general, but from the mid-1950s it began to be used for a distinct genre, aimed at a youth market, often 4️⃣ characterized as a softer alternative to rock and roll.[11][1] In the aftermath of the British Invasion, from about 1967, it 4️⃣ was increasingly used in opposition to the term rock, to describe a form that was more commercial, ephemeral and accessible.[12]
