What's the difference between country and fashion? I sound like it, but I feel different. I have studied a little music and want to gain some professional theoretical knowledge.

Country music is a kind of popular music with American national characteristics, which rose in the southern United States in the 1920s. It originated from English folk songs and is the representative of American white folk songs. Country music is characterized by simple melody, stable rhythm, strong narrative and strong local flavor. Most of them are ballads in two or three parts.

Pop music originated in America at the end of19th century and the beginning of 20th century. This is an urbanized and commercialized music. Its marketability is the first and its artistry is the second. From the perspective of music system, pop music is developed on the basis of American pop music structures such as Ding Bangxiang's music, blues, jazz, rock music and Sol's music, which is mainly based on American and British pop culture systems and is different from European classical music culture systems. Its styles and forms are diverse, which can generally refer to jazz, rock, soul music, blues, reggae, rap, hip-hop, disco, new era and other urbanized pop music. The style and form of China's pop music are mainly influenced by Europe and America, and on this basis, the local style is gradually formed.
