The History of Pop and why I chose a pop song.

History of Pop

Pop music is a genre of popular music that originated in its modern form in the United States and United Kingdom during the mid-1950's The terms "popular music" and "pop music" are often used interchangeably, although the former describes all music that is popular and includes many styles. "Pop" and "rock" were roughly synonymous terms until the late 1960's, when they became increasingly differentiated from each other.

Pop music has been dominated by the American and (from the mid-1960's) British music industries, Whose influence has made pop music something of an international mono-culture, but most regions and countries have their own form of pop music, Sometimes producing local versions of wider trends, and lending them local characteristics.

I chose the song 'Another Love' by Tom Odell as I didn't know what song to pick and was struggling to find one I liked. However for my birthday i was bought a new CD for my car and as I was driving this song came on. Immediately I thought this would be a good one for my music video in media. I went home and googled the lyrics for the song and started to right up song notes for ideas.
