Soda Pop is a nostalgic musical category that encapsulates the sweet, effervescent sound of late 1950s and early 1960s Teen Pop and Doo-Wop. Named after the 'soda shop' culture of the era, the genre is characterized by tight vocal harmonies, innocent romantic lyrics, and a blend of Rhythm & Blues with catchy, commercial pop melodies. It often overlaps with 'Malt Shop Pop' and 'Chicano Soul', featuring a clean, reverb-heavy production style that evokes a sense of youthful innocence and vintage Americana.
