Pop can often borrow certain styles from other genres such as Urban, Dance, Rock, Latin and Country

Subgenres- Art Pop, Bubblegum, Christian Pop, Dance-Pop, Electropop and Teen Pop

The phrase 'pop song' was first established in 1926 when it was thought that a song would be popular

Pop music is considered mainstream. People know what they like because they like what they know

Lyrics seem to be focused on typical ideas such as love.

There are various expectations but love is the most common

Examples of this include

Justin Bieber- Love Yourself

Beyoncé- Crazy in Love

Taylor Swift- Wildest Dreams

Eminem and Rihanna- Love the way you lie

Whitney Houston- I will always love you

Selena Gomez- Good For You

Mature Pop

Mature pop is the type of music that people from the ages 14+ are more likely to listen to and fully understand. An example of the difference between younger pop and mature pop is Justin Bieber. His first album consisted of cute and repetitive love songs (Baby). Bieber's most recent album is more about growing up and loving someone and about all the problems he has faced.
