Adhunik Geet or Adhuneek Geet (Nepali: आधुनिक गीत), meaning "modern song", is a genre of Nepali music, which emerged in the 1950s and derives its influence from folk, classical, western music and Ghazals.
Musicians such as Master Ratna Das Prakash, Amber Gurung, Nati Kaji drew together the core elements of this often sentimental genre.
With this came the influence of other musical genres and film songs from India (Bollywood) to Nepal.
Adhunik Geet became Nepal's popular music and remains to do so today.
Although it is listened by all, the primary audience is the older, educated, urban dweller.
