Pop

Pop music was previously an abbreviation for popular music; nevertheless, today, pop is a subgenre of it. This subgenre is characterized by being produced commercially and designed to appeal to everyone. For this matter, the songs do not last long, have a rhythmic element, are easily memorable, with catchy lyrics and melodies. Even though they may not have a significant message, they are songs that people enjoy signing. This music has been subjected to criticism by those who consider it without a purpose and due to its marketable basis: a simple melody and rhythms.  Pop has been influenced by other musical genres: R&B, rock, country jazz, and folk, among others. Ashlee Simpsom, Gorillaz and Bo Bice belong to this subgenre.
