Ppop is a genre of Filipino pop music (also known as P-pop, Pinoy pop, Pilipino pop and Philippine pop) that is a subset of OPM (Original Pilipino Music) which is made of predominantly ballads and novelty numbers.

With its beginnings in the late 1970s, Pinoy pop is a growing genre in the 2020s. Through the 1990s to the 2000s, Pinoy pop was regularly showcased in the live band scene.

From 2010 to the 2020s, Philippine pop music or Pinoy pop went through a huge metamorphosis in its increased quality, budget, investment and variety, matching the country's rapid economic growth, and an accompanying social and cultural resurgence of its Asian identity. P-Pop emerged with a heavy influence from K-pop and J-pop, a growth in Asian style ballads, idol groups, and EDM, and less reliance on Western genres, mirroring the Korean wave and similar Japanese wave popularity among Generation Z Filipinos and mainstream culture.

Early 2010s Ppop groups include 1:43, Down to Mars, XLR8 (now known as X8), 3LOGY, Pop Girls and Sugar ’n Spice (produced by Viva Records, not be confused with the Tpop group of the same name).

Late 2010s Ppop Groups: MNL48, Ppop Generation, U Go Girls (aka UGG) and CH4RMD (which was later rebranded as Charmed).

2020s Ppop Groups: SB19, bini, Alamat, G22, VXON, Dione, 1st.One, CLOVER, KAIA, R Rules, YARA, YGIG, PLUUS, PHP (Press Hit Play), Yes My Love, Pix!e (produced by Viva Records) and XOXO (produced by GMA Music).

Word of the Day on August 25, 2026
West Midlands slang word for rockers, bikers, greasers etc. In the late 1980s it was used by the UK music press to refer to a specific scene centered around the bands Pop Will Eat Itself and Crazyhead. The term never found favour with readers of 'the inkies' (Sounds, Melody Maker and the still extant NME) and was soon dropped. Now often used in predominantly working-class areas of the midlands and the north to mean someone who listens to rock-derived music and/or dresses in a manner that suggests they affiliate themselves with rock music of some kind.
