1. Research on sub-genres of
Pop Music

2. Sub-genres
There are different sub genres that can be
influenced by pop music.
• Bubblegum pop (mainly targeted to teens)
• Christian pop (lyrics targeted mainly in the faith of
God)
• Dance pop (used in night clubs)
• Teen pop (for preteens and teens)
• Soundtrack (music that accompanies motion
pictures)

3. Bubblegum pop
Bubblegum pop is a genre of pop music with an
upbeat sound contrived and marketed to appeal to
pre-teens and teenagers, that may be produced in
an assembly-line process, driven by producers and
often using unknown singers. Bubblegum's classic
period ran from 1967 to 1972. A second wave of
bubblegum started two years later and ran until 1977
when disco took over and punk rock emerged. The
genre was predominantly a singles phenomenon
rather than an album-oriented one. Also, because
many acts were manufactured in the studio using
session musicians, a large number of bubblegum
songs were by one-hit wonders.

5. Christian pop
Christian pop is a genre of modern popular music
which is lyrically focused on matters concerned with
the Christian faith. Today, the term is typically used to
refer to pop, rock, or praise & worship styles.

7. Dance pop
Dance-pop is dance oriented pop music that
originated in the early 1980s. Developing from post-disco
and synthpop, it is generally up-tempo music
intended for clubs with the intention of being
danceable but also suitable for contemporary hit
radio. Dance-pop music is generally characterized by
strong beats with easy, uncomplicated song structures
which are generally more similar to pop music than
the more free-form dance genre, with an emphasis on
melody as well as catchy tunes.

9. Teen pop
Teen pop is a subgenre of pop music that is created,
marketed and oriented
towards preteens and teenagers (ages 10 to 19). Teen
pop copies genres and styles such
as pop, dance, electronic, R&B, rap, country and rock
. Typical characteristics of teen pop music
include auto-tuned vocals, choreographed dancing,
emphasis on visual appeal (photogenic faces, unique
body physiques, immaculately attended hair and
designer clothes), lyrics focused on teenage issues
such as (sexual/emotional) love/relationships, finding
yourself, friendships, coming of age, fitting in, and
growing up.

11. Soundtrack
A soundtrack can be recorded music accompanying
and synchronized to the images of a motion
picture, book, television program or video game; a
commercially released soundtrack album of music as
featured in the soundtrack of a film or TV show; or the
physical area of a film that contains the synchronized
recorded sound.
