Pop melankolis (English: melancholic pop), also known as pop manis (sweet pop) and pejoratively as pop cengeng or lagu cengeng (weepy pop or weepy song), is a subgenre of Indo pop originated in the 1960s and reached its peak popularity in the 1980s, characterized by its slow tempo, sentimental themes and influences from 1950s American traditional pop, incorporating elementary chord progressions. This subgenre was briefly banned from being broadcast on TVRI in 1988 by Harmoko, Indonesia's then Minister of Information.
