Description of jangle pop music

Jangle pop is a subgenre of alternative rock that originated in the mid-1980s in the United States. It is characterized by a distinctive guitar sound, which is bright and ringing, often featuring arpeggiated chords and a prominent use of chorus and other modulation effects. Jangle pop songs typically have catchy melodies, upbeat rhythms, and lyrics that are often introspective or reflective. The genre was popularized by bands such as The Byrds, R.E.M., and The Bangles, and it had a significant influence on the development of indie rock and power pop.
