ABOUT POP MUSIC

POP MUSIC   as a whole is the genre of popular music that originated in its modern form during the mid-1950s in the United States and the United Kingdom. The terms popular music and pop music are often used interchangeably, although the former describes all music that is popular and includes many disparate styles.

MUSIC on the other hand is a vocal/instrumental sound combined in such a way as to produce beauty of form, harmony, and expression of emotions. 

 HOW POP MUSIC CAME INTO EXISTENCE

Thirty years after Elvis Presley broke into the musical scene, Michael Jackson, a gifted singer, and dancer was crowned the ''King of Pop'' in the 1980s,. He emerged on the scene in the 1970s during a time when disco, a type of dance music, created a cultural revolution led by artists like the Bee Gees and Diana Ross. Rhythm and blues (R&B) made their mark as well due to its ability to connect listeners with urban culture. In addition to Michael Jackson, other pop artists of the 1980s and 1990s included Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston, and Madonna.
