The tempos and rhythms are moderate, the voices inclined toward the soft and gentle, and the subject matter depicted in the songs is mainly positive and sunny. The images projected by the singers also differ from the flash of pop idols; usually they appear on stage in jeans and t-shirts with just a few guitars.
這類音樂的節奏通常是中板，聲音偏向輕柔，歌曲描寫的素材則以正面、陽光取向為主；樂手的穿著形象也不若偶像歌手般華麗，常常都是牛仔褲、T 恤、幾把吉他就上台演唱。
