Punjabi pop is a vibrant and eclectic genre that originated in the 1990s in the Punjab region of India and Pakistan. Characterized by its infectious beats, energetic rhythms, and catchy melodies, Punjabi pop often incorporates traditional folk elements, such as the tumbi and dhol, alongside modern electronic and hip-hop influences. The genre's distinctive vocal styles range from smooth, soulful crooning to energetic, party-oriented rap. Emerging in the early 2000s, Punjabi pop gained widespread popularity in the 2010s, particularly among the Indian diaspora, as artists began to experiment with fusion sounds and collaborate with international producers. As a cultural phenomenon, Punjabi pop reflects the region's rich musical heritage and the aspirations of its young, urban population. With its unique blend of traditional and modern elements, Punjabi pop has carved out a distinct niche in the global pop landscape, influencing the development of Bhangra and other South Asian musical styles.
