Pop Music

Pop music is generally created by a single performer instead of a whole ensemble of musicians. This type is inclined more to the individualized composition of an artist. It doesn't involve extended works, collaborations, and orchestras. A pop album can be created by a single performer.

The banners of pop music are today's new wave of singers. This type of music is more bent to the craftsmanship and vocal individuality of the singer rather than on the formal musical qualities that are normally observed in an orchestra or a band.

In contrast to the concertos produced at orchestral music, pop music icons record their songs and use the newest technologies to mass produce them. Rarely do these songs are performed live in front of an audience. Instead, they are mostly played over the radios and the airwaves for them to be appreciated by the public. The focus of pop music is usually on the act and its performer, rather on the trained technicality of the artists and the music itself. Love songs and gospel music can also be classified as pop music. The influence of this genre is generally rock n roll, although jazz and soul are good contributors as well. The invention of microphones fueled the popularity of pop music even more. It has soon created commercial value for films, TV, and radio.

Pop music is trendy and is produced to appeal to all audiences. Unlike classical and traditional music, it isn't particularly created for a certain sub-culture. Pop is practically aimed for profit and commercialization rather than art.
