Rock on the other hand is an expression of emotions through instruments so vocals matter less. Pop involves more singing and vocal expression, with a danceable beat to it and it comes as no surprise that pop songs are one of the best songs to learn dancing with. Pop music gives its listeners a notably different sound from rock. Notable pop groups include N-Sync and popular pop solo singers include Britney Spears. For pop artists they will usually come as solo artists or if in a group they will all be singers without anyone taking up a particular instrument. Each band member will usually be skilled in playing a particular instrument so it is common to find a bass guitarist, electric guitarist, a drummer and a lead singer making up a rock band.
Rock is often performed by a group of members known as a rock band or rock group. The typical sound of rock music often has three chords formed by a rhythm section of bass guitars, which are the strong, the insistent back beat and a catchy melody. Whereas pop music will reach out to the general audience, rock music mainly identifies with a particular subculture, having evolved from western and country music to rock and roll and then to mainstream rock. Whereas rock music has got a lot of sub genres, pop music’s basic elements have fairly remained unchanged for some time now although it has on a small scale been influenced by other popular music genres.
The main audience for pop music is the youth market although it usually cuts across age sometimes, given that this type of music constitutes relatively short love songs with a straight message that identifies with the ups and downs common in relationships of all type. It constitutes the type of songs that are relatively short and aimed at commercial recording. Pop music is a genre of music that is often regarded as the softer alternative to rock.
