Bubblegum pop

Bubblegum pop (bubblegum rock, bubblegum music) is a genre of popular music and rock and roll. The defining characteristics of bubblegum pop include catchy or hummable melodies, simple three-chord structures, and repetitive riffs or "hooks." Bubblegum pop is also characterized by its lightweight lyrics - often with nonsense or romantic themes.

2000s

After the disappearance of the boy band and, for the most part, the pop princess, Bubblegum Pop progressed backwards, once again taking the guise of "Punk". Also called Pop-Punk, bands like Good Charlotte are the modern day torch-carriers of Bubblegum Pop.
