It was in 19th century England that the term “popular culture” or “pop culture” was first used. Pop culture referred to the culture of the lower classes, distinguished from the educated classes. In the United States, after World War II, the term took on a new meaning, specifically “culture for mass consumption,” and the abbreviation “pop culture” emerged in the 1960s.
In 1926, the term “pop song” was used to describe music with popular appeal. The term “pop music” itself was coined in Britain in the mid-1950s to describe rock and roll and the new styles influenced by it. In the 1960s, pop music in England competed with Beat music, while in America, it overlapped with the genre of rock and roll.
