1. popular music

   Popular music, often abbreviated as pop music, refers to music that is widely accepted and enjoyed by a large number of people, typically characterized by its mass commercial appeal and production for mainstream broadcast via various multimedia outlets. It originates from a wide array of genres and may often borrow elements from other styles. Its aim is typically to appeal to the general public rather than a particular sub-culture or ideology, favoring melodious tunes and catchy hooks over artistic or thematic depth.

1. Popular music

   Popular music belongs to any of a number of musical genres "having wide appeal" and is typically distributed to large audiences through the music industry. It stands in contrast to both art music and traditional music, which are typically disseminated academically or orally to smaller, local audiences. The original application of the term is to music of the 1880s Tin Pan Alley period in the United States. Although popular music sometimes is known as "pop music," the two terms are not interchangeable. Popular music is a generic term for music of all ages that appeals to popular tastes, whereas pop music usually refers to a specific musical genre.
