Jangle pop: Meaning (information, definition, explanation, facts)

Jangle pop was an American musical genre that arose in the middle of the 1960s, combining angular, chiming guitars and power pop structures. The first and most famous jangle pop band was The Byrds, who eventually became one of the biggest bands in the world.
