Pop metal fuses the accessibility and melodic hooks of pop music with the heavy guitars, aggressive drums, and intensity of metal. The style emerged from hair metal's commercial success in the 1980s and has evolved to include modern electronic elements, creating an accessible entry point to heavier music. It prioritizes catchy choruses and radio-friendly structures while maintaining metal's powerful sonic energy.
