Pinoy music or Pinoy pop emerged began in the 1970s. The songs were often sung in Tagalog. It was a mix of rock, folk and ballads. It did not focus on social class. As early as 1973, the Juan De la Cruz Band was performing "Ang Himig Natin" ("Our Music"), which many people thought was the first example of Pinoy rock. "Pinoy" gained popular currency in the late 1970s in the Philippines when Filipinos became more patriotic. Filipino folk singer Heber Bartolome's "Tayo'y mga Pinoy" ("We are Pinoys") became popular. Filipino rapper Francis Magalona's "Mga Kababayan Ko" ("My Countrymen") in the 1990s and Filipino rock band Bamboo's "Noypi" ("Pinoy" in reversed syllables) in the 2000s.
Today, the word "Pinoy" is used as an adjective for things that have to do with the Philippines or Filipinos. Pinoy rock was soon followed by Pinoy folk and Pinoy jazz. Many songwriters made songs critical of Philippine president Ferdinand Marcos and his use of martial law and the Batasang Bayan, other songs were subversive and others were about national pride.
The Marcos administration ordered radio stations to play a certain number of Pinoy songs each hour. Both Marcos and his enemies used Pinoy music.
P-pop includes Filipino pop songs since the 1960s, especially ballads. Many are by major commercial artists like Pilita Corrales, Nora Aunor, Basil Valdez, Freddie Aguilar and Rey Valera.
Singer-songwriters Ryan Cayabyab and José Mari Chan became famous in the 1970s by writing original English love songs alongside modern Tagalog songs. Pop groups in the same decade include Manila sound groups APO Hiking Society and Hotdog.
In the 1980s, disco group VST & Co. and pop icon Gary V. gave rise to dance-pop in the mainstream.
The early to mid-1990s saw the emergence of the pop-rock group, Eraserheads, considered as a turning-point in the OPM music scene. In the wake of their success was the emergence of a string of influential bands such as Yano, Siakol, Parokya ni Edgar, Grin Department, Rivermaya, Moonstar 88 and Hungry Young Poets, each of which mixes the influence of a variety of pop and rock subgenres into their style.
Filipino rock continues to flourish at present with newer bands such as Hale, Cueshé, Sponge Cola, Chicosci, Kamikazee and Urbandub, and the emergence of the country's first virtual band, Mistula. Though only some of the spearheading bands are still fully intact, many old members have formed new bands such as Pupil, Sandwich, and Bamboo. A few band members such as Kitchie Nadal, Barbie Almalbis, and Rico Blanco have established steady solo careers.
Though rock bands have been dominating the mainstream since their commercialization in the '90s, acoustic groups were still regularly showcased in the live band scene such as Side A, True Faith, Neocolours, South Border and Freestyle popularized songs that clearly reflect the sentimental character of OPM pop. Popular acoustic acts like Nina, Juris (of MYMP) and Aiza Seguerra also prove the diversity of Filipino pop.
