Pop songs that are sonically engineered to be formulaic enough for the radio, follow the trends of pop music, are catchy and easy to follow, but also shocking and unique in some way that sets them apart from everything else on the radio, making the listener want to listen to these songs more in order to understand them. This term originated from the YouTuber "Internet Jules" as a way to describe artists such as Dua Lipa, Ariana Grande, etc.
NOTE: This isn't a negative term, but is merely a term describing smart pop music writing in the industry.

A term coined by Pete Townshend of The Who. Power Pop is a Rock & Roll sub-genre that has its' roots from 60s Pop and Rock bands such as The Beatles, The Who, The Byrds, The Beach Boys, The Kinks, and The Hollies. Major Power Pop elements include strong melodies, upbeat guitars, and tight vocal harmonies.
The first true "Power Pop Wave" regarded by many Popsters began in the early 70s. With bands such as Badfinger, The Raspberries, and Big Star setting the rules, but at the same time embracing its' true 60s foundation. Through the late 70s and into the 80s, Power Pop began incorporating more Hard Rock, New Wave, and Punk Rock elements while still maintaining a strong Pop core. Bands like Cheap Trick, The Knack, The Flamin Groovies, XTC, 20/20, The Only Ones, The Beat, The Real Kids, and The Stems are strong examples of more complex varieties of Power Pop styles.
When the 90s came, the genre became less popular. But behind the shadows of the Grunge, Metal, Hip Hop, Rap, and Alternative movements, a new breed of Power Popsters have emerged. Jellyfish, Redd Kross, Teenage Fanclub, The Posies, Cotton Mather, and Sloan are prime examples.

The sound that you hear when you stretch your chest upwards. Most of the time, it will be painful but will feel good at the same time.
The causes are usually hunching or benching more weights than what you can lift.
After you have popped your chest, it takes about 6 or more hours until you can perform it again.
