| | Popular music - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Popular music is music that is not something else (usually 'folk' or 'art' music). | | | Popular music is music belonging to any of a number of musical styles that are accessible to the general public and mostly distributed commercially. | | | It stands in contrast to classical music, which historically was the music of elites or the upper strata of society, and traditional folk music which was shared non-commercially. |

| | American popular music - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | This is by Elvis Presley and is one of the most popular songs of the rockabilly era. | | | By the end of the 1960s, two developments had completely changed popular music: the birth of a counterculture, which explicitly opposed mainstream music, often in tandem with political and social activism, and the shift from professional composers to performers who were both singers and songwriters. | | | Though these styles were not popular in the sense of mainstream, they were commercially recorded and are thus examples of popular music as opposed to folk or classical music. |
