In China, a variety of music genres are popular, including pop music, rock, hip hop, electronic dance music, and traditional Chinese music. Pop music, especially Mandopop (Mandarin popular music), is one of the most popular genres in China. Many Chinese pop stars, such as Jay Chou and G.E.M., have gained popularity throughout Asia and beyond. Rock music is also popular in China, with many Chinese rock bands such as Cui Jian and Tang Dynasty achieving significant success.

Hip hop music has gained a lot of popularity in recent years, with the rise of Chinese hip hop stars such as GAI, Higher Brothers, and Kris Wu. Electronic dance music, or EDM, is also becoming increasingly popular in China, with many international DJs performing at music festivals in China.

Traditional Chinese music, which includes a wide range of styles such as guzheng, erhu, and pipa, is still appreciated by many Chinese people, and is often performed in concert halls and at cultural events.
