Power Pop

Power pop is a genre characterized by catchy, hook-laden songwriting, driving rhythms, and a blend of jangly guitars, punchy basslines, and crisp drumming. Emerging in the late 1960s and flourishing in the late 1970s and early 1980s, power pop drew inspiration from British Invasion bands, garage rock, and punk's energy. Artists associated with the genre crafted songs that were both melodic and energetic, often with a focus on vocal harmonies and sing-along choruses. Power pop's cultural significance lies in its ability to balance accessibility and sophistication, making it a staple of FM radio and a precursor to later genres like new wave and alternative rock. While related to punk and new wave, power pop's emphasis on craftsmanship and melody sets it apart, earning it a loyal following among fans of catchy, guitar-driven rock music.
