The term pop music is thrown around very frequently when describing music today, so you might be curious to know exactly where and when it originated. Well, let me tell you!
The WHERE: the United States, the United Kingdom
The WHEN: 1920's, !950's
WHY are there two different origins?? Some think of pop music as being popular music of a specific time period, which began in the US in the 20's. Others regard pop music as its own genre, which emerged in the UK in the 50's.
One of the first recorded songs regarded as having "POPular" appeal was in 1927, called "Blue Skies". Check it out ==> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aglqFRvEdPw
