Pop Rock

Pop Rock is a genre of popular music that combines elements of rock music with pop music. It originated in the 1960s as bands such as the Beatles and the Beach Boys began to combine elements of popular music with the harder edge of rock music. Pop Rock is characterized by a strong emphasis on melody, catchy hooks, and accessible lyrics. It often includes elements of other genres such as funk, reggae, and soul. It has remained popular to this day, with contemporary artists such as Taylor Swift and the 1975 producing songs in the genre.
