What Is it?

Cultural origins • 1950s, United Kingdom and United States.

The popular music or pop music, is one of the musical genres mostly spread among the youth who likes music world wide.

• Was in 20th century when the pop music became in a reality of consumption for the global audience, for the creation of the music industry. In 1980 there are two large icons Madonna & Michael Jackson which marked this type of music. Also in this category we can find Cyndi Lauper.

• They are especially heard by the youth, who also view these artists as a model to follow.

• Personally I believe that pop music, despite being globally heard, is one of my favorite genres to listen to.
