Pop music can be identified from its catchy musical hooks and repeated choruses. This genre of music is great to dance to and usually encompasses more upbeat songs. Music in this category appeals to the majority and mainstream rather than a sub-culture such as Indie music does.These kinds of songs are the ones you just cant stop playing in your head!
