T-Pop
T-pop most often means Thai pop: popular music from Thailand, sung in Thai and made in a modern, international pop style.
Thai pop grew from the Western-influenced band music of the 1960s to 1980s known as string, and today covers ballads, pop rock, hip hop-leaning tracks and girl and boy groups influenced by Korean and Japanese pop. It differs from luk thung, Thailand's rural, country-style music, by following global pop trends. The short form T-pop is also sometimes used for Taiwanese or Turkish pop, so the meaning depends on context.
Artists it is known for: Thongchai McIntyre, Tata Young, 4EVE.
