Description of adult contemporary music
Adult contemporary music is a broad category of popular music that is generally targeted at adults, typically those over the age of 25.

Adult contemporary music often features elements of pop, rock, and R&B, and is characterized by a polished, smooth sound that is often produced with the help of electronic instruments and production techniques.
