Hokkien pop is a genre of music that originated in the Chinese-speaking communities of Southeast Asia, particularly among the Hokkien-speaking population. It blends traditional Hokkien melodies with modern pop elements, making it appealing to younger audiences. The lyrics are often in the Hokkien dialect, reflecting everyday life, love, and cultural themes. This genre gained popularity in the late 20th century, especially in places like Taiwan and Singapore. Artists such as Wang Leehom and A-mei have contributed to its growth, helping to preserve Hokkien culture while also reaching a broader audience through catchy tunes and relatable lyrics.
