pop rock

Blending rock's driving rhythms with pop's accessible melodies and hooks, pop rock emerged in the 1960s as a radio-friendly alternative to harder rock styles. This genre emphasizes catchy choruses, polished production, and mainstream appeal while retaining guitar-based instrumentation and moderate tempos that bridge commercial and artistic sensibilities.
