'''Pop music''', '''pop''', or '''popular music''' is a genre of [[music]]. Pop music refers to music created primarily for commercial purposes and which usually enjoys a short run of popularity. [[Rock music]] and [[country music]] are technically both sub-genres of popular music, although the term "pop music" is often used as a synonym for styles of popular music primarily marketed toward [[teenager]]s and pre-teens, rather than styles marketed toward adults like rock and country.

Pop music is distinguished from [[folk music]], which is music originating from local cultures with an oral tradition, created without commercial purposes in mind, with music styles and songs passed down from generation to generation, and with songs enjoying a long run of popularity; and from [[classical music]], which is a form of [[fine art]] typified by music written and published by composers, usually involving multi-instrumentation or complex vocals, which enjoys a long run of popularity over tens or hundreds of years.
