Some popular music forms have become global, while others have a wide appeal within the culture of their origin.
In the 2000s, with songs and pieces available as digital sound files, it has become easier for music to spread from one country or region to another. From the 1960s through the mid 2000s, albums collecting songs were the dominant form for recording and consuming English-language popular music, in a period known as the album era. The song structure of popular music commonly involves repetition of sections, with the verse and chorus or refrain repeating throughout the song and the bridge providing a contrasting and transitional section within a piece. Popular music songs and pieces typically have easily singable melodies. Popular music is a generic term for a wide variety of genres of music that appeal to the tastes of a large segment of the population, whereas pop music usually refers to a specific musical genre within popular music. Although popular music sometimes is known as "pop music", the two terms are not interchangeable. The original application of the term is to music of the 1880s Tin Pan Alley period in the United States. Traditional music forms such as early blues songs or hymns were passed along orally, or to smaller, local audiences. Art music was historically disseminated through the performances of written music, although since the beginning of the recording industry, it is also disseminated through recordings. It stands in contrast to both art music and traditional or "folk" music. These forms and styles can be enjoyed and performed by people with little or no musical training. Popular music is music with wide appeal that is typically distributed to large audiences through the music industry.
