Modern Punjabi-language pop. A plucked tumbi riff and dhol rhythms sit on top of contemporary trap, hip-hop or pop production, under a high, ornamented vocal.

Anchors rather than an exhaustive canon — if your track sits near these, this is probably the right label.
Usual tempo 90–110 BPM. Sitting outside that range does not disqualify a track; it just makes the tells matter more.
The nearest neighbours in South Asian, by tempo. If Punjabi Pop does not quite fit, one of these usually does.
- Bollywood / Filmi70–140 BPM
Hindi film songs. Big melodic vocals, lush strings and a mix of Indian instruments (tabla, sitar, flute) with Western pop or orchestral arrangement.

South Asian rap. Hindi, Punjabi or Urdu verses over trap or boom-bap beats, often with Indian samples or instruments woven in.

High-energy Punjabi celebration music. Pounding dhol drums in a bouncing rhythm, tumbi and shouted "hoi!" calls, built for dancing at weddings and festivals.
