Popular music refers to one of a number of musical genres that "have a wide appeal" and are usually distributed to a large audience through the music industry. This is in contrast to both traditional music and music art, which is usually disseminated academically or orally smaller, local audiences. Although popular music is sometimes known as "pop music", two terms are not interchangeable. Popular music is a common term for music of all ages that appeals to popular tastes, whereas pop music usually refers to a more specific genre of music.
Pop music (a term originally derived from "popular") is a musical genre of popular music originating in the modern form of the 1950s, which comes from rock and roll. The terms popular music and pop music are often used interchangeably, although the first is a popular musical description (and can include any style), while the latter is a particular genre that contains the quality of mass appeal.
