Britpop? Krautrock? :D

There's Kpop, for Korea, too.

For the lesser-known ones, there's Malay-pop (Malaysian language), Canto-pop (Cantonese), Indo-pop (Indonesian), etc.

Europop is the commonly accepted term for European pop music.

There's also rap varieties too, my favorites being c-rap and k-rap, for obvious reasons. :3

I guess "pop" is a more general term. The sub-groups are very different in both sound & style, as compared to "American pop".

(PS: LOLZ@J-RAPZOMG)
