Pop music tends to use bright, bold colors and lighting to make the costumes, makeup, and hair styles stand out. It aims to be pleasurable for a mass audience to listen to rather than focus on artistic depth. The culture of pop music reflects everyday lives and perspectives of mainstream Western society since the mid-20th century.
