V-pop
V-pop (), an abbreviation for Vietnamese popular music or Blue Music, is a music genre covering Vietnamese pop music from the 1990s to the present day. Etymology During the 1970s, V-pop was limited to ''Nhạc trẻ Sài Gòn'' (Youth music of Saigon, now called Ho Chi Minh City) or ''Kích động nhạc'' (Exciting music). After 1975, the ''Nhạc trẻ Sài Gòn'' scene, which encompasses vibrant, fun folk songs, was outlawed. But the development in line with Vietnamese pop music comes from Hanoi and Haiphong. The artists in these two places have been formally trained in the national conservatory school. In the 1990s, the phrase ''Nhạc nhẹ'' (Soft music) appeared when Vietnam was opening up to the world. ''Nhạc trẻ'' (Youth music) was used in the early 2000s. The phrase V-Pop was created by artists from the North, including Hanoi.

Ballad
A ballad is a form of verse, often a narrative set to music. Ballads were particularly characteristic of the popular poetry and song of Great Britain and Ireland from the Late Middle Ages until the 19th century. They were widely used across Europe, and later in Australia, North Africa, North America and South America. While ballads have no prescribed structure and may vary in their number of lines and stanzas, many ballads employ quatrains with ABCB or ABAB rhyme schemes, the key being a rhymed second and fourth line. Contrary to a popular conception, it is rare if not unheard-of for a ballad to contain exactly 13 lines. Additionally, couplets rarely appear in ballads. Many ballads were written and sold as single-sheet Broadside (music), broadsides. The form was often used by poets and composers from the 18th century onwards to produce lyrical ballads. In the later 19th century, the term took on the meaning of a slow form of popular love song and is often used for any love song ...
