Sub-Genre Research

As my main category of Music is Pop, i have decided to look at different sub-genres of it.

 4 of the sub-genres i've found are teen-pop, bubblegum-pop, euro-pop and dance-pop.

1.  Dance- pop is dance oriented pop music. Dance- pop is a very popular style and there are many artists and groups who perform in the genre. Some of the most noticeable ones include 
• Justin Timberlake
• Britney Spears
• Jennifer Lopez
• Kylie Minogue
• Usher
• Lady Gaga
• Katy Perry
• Backstreet Boys
• Kesha
• Rihanna 


2. Teen-pop is created, marketed and oriented towards pre-teens and teenagers. Typical characteristics include auto tuned vocals, emphasis on visual appeal and lyrics focusing on teenage issues. To begin with, groups like the Spice Girls and Atomic Kitten used this type of music. Also singers such as Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera began with this style.
3. Bubblegum-pop is very similar to Teen-Pop and is usually noticed as a genre of pop music with an upbeat sound and often unknown singers. A large number of Bubblegum-pop songs were created by one hit wonders such as The Ohio Exress and the Archies.
   
   
4. Euro-Pop is a derivitave form of Bubblegum-Pop. Some Euro Pop stars came from France, Germany, Italy, Ireland, Netherlands, United Kingdom and Poland; but most were Swedish in Origin.
