Pop music is a genre of popular music that originated in its modern form during the mid-1950s in the United States and the United Kingdom.

During the 1950s and 1960s, pop music encompassed rock and roll and the youth-oriented styles it influenced. '' Rock'' and ''pop'' music remained roughly synonymous until the late 1960s, after which ''pop'' became associated with music that was more commercial, ephemeral, and accessible.
