J-pop, K-pop: what other *-pops are there?

Korea and Japan, respectively, have brought us the K-pop and J-pop music genres. I see now from Wikipedia that there are also these other *-pops:

Are there other nation-named *-pop music genres that rise to comparable levels of popularity?

Weasel Pop!! :grinning:

Come on, don’t tell me you never heard the phrase, “Pop goes the weasel!” :wink:

3

American pop?

4

There’s Britpop, of course. (Big in the 90s, think Blur, Oasis, Suede, Pulp, Supergrass).

5

Every country has its own musical scene; the only question is whether people outside the country have heard of it.

6

And whether there’s an English/American coinage of “[Initial]-pop” to describe it.

I’ve heard of Mandopop, which is pop music in Mandarin. I guess it’s a kind of C-pop.

I thought it was more like:

“Cantopop” is a specific subset of C-pop.

I became familiar with it due to my fanatical appreciation of 70s-80s-90s Hong Kong action cinema, which includes a pipeline from the music scene to the big screen.

A typical example:

There’s Austropop, pop music from Austria.

When you run out of pops, there’s P-Funk.

13

Tootsie?

In response to this post I have listened to various Austropop artists, and it is definitely different. I wonder if Austria has its own Hamburger [Vienna] Schule or Neue Deutsche [Oestereiche] Welle…

Being German myself, I’m not an expert, but I don’t think so. What we call Austropop started out in the early 70s with mostly Austrian singer/songwriters writing and singing in broad dialect. Of course many of them came from Vienna, but it was never called Viennese school. As for NDW, Falco often has been lumped into it, but he never really was a part of it, his success just happened to be during the same time and he sang mostly in German, but actually in a mix of Viennese German and English.

ETA: the contemporary Austrian indie band Ja, Panik is an interesting case. Like Falco, they sing in a mix of German with Austrian dialect and English, but they reside in Berlin.

Sorry, only German link, they don’t have an English wiki page.

Jiffy.

Shahrizoda, an Uyghur girl group in Uzbekistan.
