Pop music, in the modern sense, is music aimed at the mass listener. The standard structure: 3–4 minutes, verse–chorus–verse–chorus–bridge–chorus, a memorable hook (a short melodic or rhythmic motif).
Pop of the 20th–21st centuries moved with the rhythm of technology: 1960s Motown (The Supremes), 1970s disco (ABBA, Bee Gees), 1980s synthpop (Madonna, Michael Jackson), 1990s teen pop (Spice Girls, Britney Spears), and modern electropop (Dua Lipa, Billie Eilish, The Weeknd). In Ukraine the pop scene is Ruslana (Eurovision winner 2004), Sviatoslav Vakarchuk, Max Barskih, Monatik, KAZKA, Dorofeeva, Jerry Heil, Alyona Alyona — with millions of streams on Spotify and YouTube.
