Task 6

Task 6 My chosen genre is Pop and Mainstream Music. Pop music originated from the 1950’s and was influenced by rock and roll. Despite coming from the abbreviation of the word ‘popular’, nowadays this genre is associated with music that targets a large audience, rather than how popular the artist is with any individual. Pop music usually has a basic format which follows the verse-chorus structure. Repeated choruses, melodic sound and hooks are usually involved. The type of imagery associated with Pop music is bright colours, happiness, young girl and boy bands, which usually attract a wide audience with their catchy, upbeat music. A list of artists in this genre are Taylor Swift, One Direction, Justin Beiber, Shakira, Adele, Celine Dion, Madonna and Britney Spears.
