Christian bubblegum pop (Christian bubblegum rock, Christian bubblegum music) is a genre of Christian popular music and Christian rock and roll. Some of the defining characteristics of bubblegum pop include catchy melodies, simple three-chord structures, simple harmonies, and repetitive riffs or "hooks." Christian bubblegum pop is also characterized by its lightweight lyrics, often surrounding themes of Christian romance and courtship.
[edit] Origins
Christian bubblegum pop evolved out of the Bubblegum pop genre. They appeared just after the splash of boy bands and pop princesses started by the network executives at Disney. Examples of Christian bubblegum pop artists are Aly & AJ, Stacie Orrico, Jonas Brothers, Jump5, ZoeGirl, and to some extent, Hilary Duff especially with her older albums such as Metamorphosis.
