Collection: Bubblegum Pop
Bubblegum Pop is a vibrant and upbeat genre of popular music that emerged in the late 1960s and has since evolved into various international forms. Known for its catchy melodies, simple lyrics, and infectious rhythms, this style of music is primarily aimed at young audiences and often features polished production. The genre has spawned numerous sub-genres and regional variations, including the highly choreographed and visually striking K-Pop and J-Pop scenes, with their respective boy and girl groups. Classic UK Pop and Ye-Ye movements have contributed to its global appeal, while Teen Pop and Boy Band phenomena have dominated charts worldwide. In Brazil, Jovem Guarda represents a local interpretation of the style. The genre also encompasses more niche subgenres like Candy Pop, Tontipop, and the quirky Denpa-kei from Japan. Idol culture, particularly prominent in Japan (J-Idol) and traditional Idol Kayo, has become intrinsically linked with Bubblegum Pop, emphasizing not just music but also personality and visual aesthetics.
