Vocal Harmony

Vocal harmony music took off in the early 20th century, particularly in the UK and the US, when groups realised that singing in unison was nice, but singing in multiple parts was downright magical, not to mention a great way to distract from any lack of instrumental skill. Characterised by the intricate layering of voices, this genre often results in soundscapes that can make you weep or laugh, depending on the tune and how many cups of tea you've had. It's like a choir got together for a cheeky pint and decided to take their harmonies on a frolic through popular music, leaving behind a trail of earworms and enthusiasts who might just argue over the best group until the pub closes.
