Europop (also spelled Euro pop) is a style of pop music that originated in Europe during the mid-to-late 1960s^[2] and developed to today's form throughout the late 1970s. Europop topped the charts throughout the 1980s and 1990s, with revivals and moderate degrees of appreciation also in the 2000s and the 2010s. It features catchy and danceable beats, accompanied by euphoric pop-influenced melodies. The lyrics are usually very simple and carefree in order to have international appeal. One of the main differences between American and European pop is that Europop is generally more oriented towards European dance genres, such as trance, eurodance, and eurodisco.
