Pop Music is basically a genre of music that has rhythmic elements, melodies and hooks. This term was first used in the year 1926. It is considered as a lighter alternative to rock and roll.

The origin of Pop Music can be traced back to 1679 with the composition of the first Opera by Alessandro Scarlatti. Or it could even be traced to earlier times when Francesco Provenzale termed the musical language as light, catchy and lively. The first pop hit record was Slide, Kelly, Slide by Edison Studios in the year 1894.

Pop music had its roots in the Rhythm and Blues Music of the black community. White artists like Elvis Presley and the Rolling Stones were adept at taking this music and packaging it for the young white kids of America, Germany and Britain. Others like the Beatles saw the opportunity and jumped on the bandwagon.
