As a rule of thumb, let bands and artists be listed under a style if 80% or so of their output seems to fit that style. Those with more diverse output should be submitted instead to Arts: Music: Bands and Artists.
Pop recordings are characterized by catchy melodies, energetic performance regardless of tempo, and attention-grabbing production meant to "hook" the listener. Pop emerged in the early 1960s as a lighter alternative to rock.

Mod

All submissions are welcome, as long as they pertain to being a Mod band.
Mod/Modernism is a movement which includes, but is not limited to, dressing sharp in 1960s-influenced attire, listening to mod/power-pop, ska, soul and jazz, and often jetting about on Vespa or Lambretta scooters. The 1979 revival brought Mod into the spotlight, with The Jam at the helm. Music is a blend of soul, power pop and punk. Also, some elements of jazz and reggae may be incorporated.

Synthpop

Everything related to synthpop is welcome.

Synthpop was created in the late 1970s in the UK when groups such as Joy Division and Depeche Mode had broken away from their more Kraftwerk influence to create something more light and poppy.
