is a melodic, guitar-driven genre that blends the hook-laden charm of 1960s British Invasion bands with the energy of rock and punk. Known for bright harmonies, jangling riffs, and concise, catchy songwriting, it delivers anthems that feel both youthful and timeless. Emerging in the early ’70s with bands like Big Star and Badfinger, power pop has remained a beloved, enduring style centered on pure pop craftsmanship and infectious energy.
