Hokkien Pop, or Minnan Pop, is a vibrant genre of popular music sung primarily in the Hokkien dialect, originating from Taiwan and Southeastern China. It emerged in the mid-20th century, blending traditional Taiwanese musical elements with contemporary pop, blues, jazz, and rock influences. This genre focuses on heartfelt storytelling, often depicting themes of love, life, and cultural identity, resonating deeply with Hokkien-speaking communities. Characterized by its emotive vocal delivery, typically warm and expressive, Hokkien Pop artists like 郭金發 and 洪一峰 have laid the groundwork, while contemporary artists such as 許富凱 and 黃西田 bring a modern flair, ensuring the genre's enduring popularity and cross-generational appeal.
