    English pop music

    British pop music emerged in the 1950s. It was a style of music which was
    seenas an alternative to American rock ‘n’ roll.

    British pop music has changed a lot since the 1950s.

    Over the years, more and more people have owned a radio or TV meaning
    that music has become more accessible for everyone.

    With the introduction of music videos on MTV in the 1980s, pop music
    continued to be heard by more people and was an increasingly successful
    commercial opportunity.

    Today, online platforms such as YouTube, SoundCloud and Spotify are


    making it even easier for artists to share their music and build an audience.
    1950s

    Skiffle emerged as a popular genre. It was a British take on American jazz,


    blues and folk music. One of the most famous skiffle artists was Lonnie
    Donegan. The Beatles also began as a skiffle group called The Quarrymen.
    1960s

    Two key styles emerged in this decade, which became part of the cultural
    phenomenon called the British invasion:

     Beat music - guitar-dominated line-ups with vocal harmonies and catchy tunes.
    Key groups include The Beatles and The Kinks.
     British blues - a new form of the American blues made using electric guitar. Key
    artists include The Rolling Stones, Eric Clapton and Fleetwood Mac.

    1970s

    The 1970s saw the rise of new rock genres:

     Folk rock - combined acoustic traditions with amplified sound.


     Psychedelic rock - adding new experimental sounds to rock music.
     Glam rock - make-up, costumes and extravagant sets. Artists include David Bowie
    and Queen.
     Punk - had a rough and ready DIY ethos. Artists include The Undertones, Siouxsie
    and the Banshees, and The Clash.

    1980s

    Pop music continued to change, with world music (especially Jamaican and
    Indian music) providing inspiration for new fusions like acid jazz:
     Synth pop - the evolution of electronic music technology using keyboards and
    drum machines. Key British artists included Eurythmics and Duran Duran.
     Hip-hop - originated in the USA but British artists such as Rodney P and the
    Cookie Crew start making their own unique styles.
     House music - also began in the USA but British artists such as The Beatmasters
    and Yazz emerged.

    1990s

     Boy bands and girl groups such as Take That and The Spice Girls dominated the
    singles charts with a dance pop sound.
     Soul music and world music revived an enthusiasm for folk.
     Britpop - indie bands like Oasis, Blur and Pulp became popular in mainstream
    music, leading to the success of similar bands such as Coldplay and Snow Patrol.

    21st century

     Some of the most successful artists include singer-songwriters who cover a variety
    of pop styles such as Ed Sheeran, Adele, James Blunt and Amy Winehouse.
     UK grime emerged as a leading form of British rap with artists such as Stormzy
    building on the success of garage MCs Dizzee Rascal and Wiley.
