Genre analysis: pop rock

On a Google search pop rock is defined as 'A music genre which mixes a catch pop style along side typically guitar based rock songs. There are many varying definitions of the term, ranging from slower and mellower form of rock music to a sub-genre of pop music'' Of course when applying this to my band the fray this definition would not strictly apply, as the fray is a piano led pop rock band. Other conventions of the pop rock music genre include and individualist clothing style with a wide range of color and the music videos for this genre are usually very performance based. Usually songs which come under this genre have more meaningful lyrics and the main message of the song is portrayed through the chorus.
I believe that the main target audience for the pop rock genre would be teenagers, these both male and females.
