Description of power pop music
Power pop is a style of rock music that emerged in the late 1960s and gained popularity in the 1970s. It is characterized by a combination of catchy melodies, power chords, and tight harmonies, often with a strong emphasis on hooks and choruses. Power pop songs typically feature a combination of guitar, bass, and drums, with occasional keyboard and horn accents. The genre is influenced by classic pop and rock styles, such as The Beatles, The Who, and The Beach Boys, as well as punk rock and new wave music. Some well-known power pop bands include Big Star, Cheap Trick, The Raspberries, and The Knack.
