When describing popular music artists, honorific nicknames are used, most often in the media or by fans, to indicate the significance of an artist, and are often religious, familial, or most frequently royal and aristocratic titles, used metaphorically. Honorific nicknames were used in classical music in Europe even in the early 19th century, with figures such as Mozart being called "The father of modern music" and Bach "The father of modern piano music".A. R. Frey, Sobriquets and Nicknames (1888, published online by brBiblioBazaar, 2009), p. 115. They were also particularly prominent in African-American culture in the post-Civil War era, perhaps as a means of conferring status that had been negated by slavery,S. S. Walker, [https://books.google.com/books?id=2csDAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA74 "What's in a name: Black awareness keeps the African tradition of 'meaningful names' alive"] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230713152059/https://books.google.com/books?id=2csDAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA74 |date=July 13, 2023 }}, Ebony, vol. 32 (8), (June 1977), pp. 74–8. and as a result entered early jazz and blues music, including figures such as Duke Ellington and Count Basie.D. Evans, "From Bumble Bee Slim to Black Boy Shine: Nicknames of Blues Singers" in D. Evans, ed., Ramblin' on my mind: new perspectives on the blues: African American music in global perspective (Chicago: University of Illinois Press, 2008), pp. 179–222.

In U.S. culture, despite its republican constitution and ideology,S. Deger-Jalkotzy and I. S. Lemos, Ancient Greece: from the Mycenaean palaces to the age of Homer (Edinburgh: Edinburgh University Press, 2006), p. 272. royalist honorific nicknames have been used to describe leading figures in various areas of activity, such as industry, commerce, sports, and the media; father or mother have been used for innovators, and royal titles such as king and queen for dominant figures in a field.M. Benoliel and Linda Cashdan, The Upper Hand: Winning Strategies from World-Class Negotiators (Adams Media, 2006), p. 26.B. G. Rader, Baseball: a history of America's game (Chicago: University of Illinois Press, 3rd edn., 2008), p. 140. In the 1930s and 1940s, as jazz and swing music were gaining popularity, it was the more commercially successful white artists Paul Whiteman and Benny Goodman who became known as "the King of Jazz" and "the King of Swing" respectively, despite there being more highly regarded contemporary African-American artists.Y. Bynoe, Stand and deliver: political activism, leadership, and hip hop culture (Soft Skull Press, 2004), p. 155.

These patterns of naming were transferred to rock and roll when it emerged in the 1950s. There was a series of attempts to find—and a number of claimants to be—the "King of Rock 'n' Roll", a title that became most associated with Elvis Presley.M. T. Bertrand, Race, Rock, and Elvis: Music in American Life (Chicago: University of Illinois Press, 2000), p. 220. This has been characterized as part of a process of the appropriation of credit for innovation of the then-new music by a white establishment.G. B. Rodman, "A hero to most?; Elvis, myth and the politics of race", Cultural Studies vol. 8 (3), (1994), p. 474. Different honorifics have been taken or given for other leading figures in the genre, such as "the Architect of Rock and Roll", by Little Richard from the 1990s;J. Warner, On this day in black music history (Hal Leonard Corporation, 2006), p. 56, this term, like many, is also used for other important figures, in this case including pioneer electric guitarist Les Paul.{{cite web |title=Les Paul |url=http://www.rockhall.com/inductees/les-paul |publisher=Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Museum |access-date=June 21, 2014 |archive-date=March 17, 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100317150128/http://www.rockhall.com/inductees/les-paul |url-status=live }}

Similar honorific nicknames have been given in other genres, including Aretha Franklin, who was crowned the "Queen of Soul" on stage by disk jockey Pervis Spann in 1968.A. Kempton, Boogaloo: the Quintessence of American Popular Music (University of Michigan Press, 2005), p. 58. Michael Jackson and Madonna have been closely associated with the terms "King and Queen of Pop" since the 1980s.{{citation|first=Alison|last=Hawes|title=Music and Fashion|publisher=Badger Learning|year=2014|page=23|isbn=9781781477588|quote=Many of the most successful pop artists of the Eighties were solo singers.
