Pop Music Genre:

Genre is a classification for a certain text according to the style and content. Throughout time more and more different types of genres are being invented.

            The Pop music genre had started out in the 1950’s with the popular music genre called Rock and Roll, the genre of rock and roll comes from a large collection of genres that have merged together to create one, the genres that made rock and roll was jazz, blues, rockabilly, gospel and soul music. One of the people that had made this genre more and more popular had been the artist Elvis Presley and one of the things that had made him famous was his star image. He had been a great influence to the music history with his music and his image, his image had been so powerful to a female audience with his hip movements, there was one interesting fact that Elvis when being seen on camera he was only to be seen from the waist up. Elvis had been the artist that created the breakthrough in dance.

With any song it has its own rhythm, instruments used for melody, lyric and vocal style which make it unique in its own way, but some people associate their looks and lifestyle with the type of music that they are playing to make the make the band more suitable for the genre.
