2. MEANING AND HISTORY
OF POP GENRE?
Pop music is a genre of popular music which originated in
its modern form in the 1950s, deriving from rock and roll. As
it has catchy and memorable beat thus it has many fan
following.
Pop music started in 1930-40s by the first pop stars in
history. Frank Sinatra was seen as the first modern pop star.
3. KEY ARTISTS IN THE
DEVELOPMENT OF POP
Few artists are still around in the development of pop. They
include Mariah Carey, Britney Spears, Lady Gaga etc. Mariah
Carey started in 1988, Britney Spears in 1992 and Lady
Gaga in 2005.
I would say the pop artist that has the biggest profile is Katy
Perry, because her music can apply to everyone(teens and
adults)
4. TARGET AUDIENCE
Pop music audience is everyone. The fans mainly include
girls due to boy bands present in it like One Direction
5. SUB GENRES OF POP
There are different sub genres that can be influenced by pop
music.
Bubblegum pop(mainly targeted to teens)
Christian pop(lyrics targeted mainly in the faith of God)
Dance pop(used in night clubs)
Teen pop(for preteens and teens)
Soundtrack(music that accompanies motion motion
pictures)
6. PUBL IC’S PERCEPT ION
I think popular music is liked and listened by most of the
people as it has catchy and memorable beat.
However, if pop music is mostly played on TV channels it
would attract more audience. People would feel young by
listening to young artists of pop genre.
