EspañolPOP ROCK
(Redirected from Pop-rock)
'Pop rock' is a genre of music that combines elements of both pop and rock. Songs are identified by their simple song structure, catchy melodies, and repetition of musical passages (the pop part), and by their use of electric guitar- and drums-based instrumentation and a somewhat aggressive attitude (the rock part). The term was first used to describe the early hits of The Beatles, along with acts that followed them, such as The Grass Roots, Gary Puckett & The Union Gap, and The Buckinghams. Surf rock is sometimes included as a type of pop rock; this is an anachronism, as surf music and rock music were considered distinct musical genres in the 1960s. In the 1970s and 90s, the genre continued through older acts and a number of new acts, as well as the closely related soft rock genre.
The latest wave of pop rock originated in the mid-1990s with such acts as Alanis Morissette and Melissa Etheridge. The genre has enjoyed a resurgence in recent years as hard rock acts are knocked off the charts in favor of rap, R&B and hip hop artists. A feature of some modern pop rock songs is the alternation of soft verses and loud choruses, influenced by the arrangements of alternative rock artists. There was also a large movement to the charts of a variant of pop rock and punk rock, called pop punk, inspired by some of the "softer" late 1970s punk bands such as the Buzzcocks and the Ramones.
