Pop Rock

Pop rock is a genre characterized by catchy, anthemic melodies, driving rhythms, and a blend of guitar-driven instrumentation with polished production. Emerging in the 1980s and achieving mainstream success in the 1990s and 2000s, pop rock draws on the energy of rock music and the accessibility of pop. Defined by its emphasis on sing-along choruses, simple harmonies, and relatable lyrics, pop rock often focuses on themes of love, relationships, and everyday life. With its roots in post-punk and new wave, pop rock intersects with alternative rock and power pop, but is distinguished by its more commercial, radio-friendly sound. Notable for its ability to balance hooks and guitars, pop rock has become a staple of contemporary music, appealing to a broad audience with its catchy, energetic soundscapes and heartfelt, confessional songwriting.
