Power Pop

Power pop burst onto the scene in the 1970s, primarily in the US and UK, as a delightful concoction of catchy melodies, jangly guitars, and cheeky lyrics that somehow express both optimism and existential dread. It's like if The Beatles and The Ramones had a musical lovechild, producing tunes that are as infectious as a cold on public transport. Fans will tell you it's an underrated gem, whilst secretly trading mixtapes in cafés and lamenting the world’s apparent indifference to their favourite bands.
