Punk rock is a subgenre of rock music. It usually has rebellious lyrics and down stroked power chords played on guitars.

Pop is one of those genres you may also expect on the gym. Unfortunately coming from a person who isn't much fond of mainstream pop I can only provide a few good artists such as Imagine Dragons, Rhianna, The Chainsmokers, and Britney Spears.
