Bubblegum pop

Bubblegum pop is a catchy, upbeat music genre characterized by its simple melodies, repetitive hooks, and lighthearted lyrics. It emerged in the late 1960s and is designed to be accessible and easily memorable, often appealing to a teenage audience. The style emphasizes polished production, short song durations, and cheerful themes, aiming to evoke happiness and fun. Artists like The Archies and early singles by Britney Spears exemplify this genre. While often considered lightweight, bubblegum pop’s infectious qualities have made it a lasting staple in pop music history.
