Research - Musical Genres

Musical genre

Musical genres are different categories of music which share a certain style or have certain elements in common.

Pop punk is a fusion music genre that combines elements of punk rock with pop music. The genre is a strand of alternative rock, which merges pop melodies with speedy punk tempos, chord changes and loud guitars.
The genre has been described as having "a radio friendly sheen to their music, but still maintaining much of the speed and attitude of classic punk rock".

The band we have chosen is a pop punk band and the track we chose follows the typical traits of the pop punk genre by means of the punk-like fast tempo and loud guitar mixed with pop elements.
In music videos of this music genre, there are fast cuts, close-ups, fun storylines with a comic feel.
