In music and music theory, the beat is the basic unit of time, the pulse of the mensural level (or beat level). In popular use, the beat can refer to a variety of related concepts including: tempo, meter, rhythm and groove.

This is a distinct and separate use of the term from the way "beat" is used traditionally as related only to the rhythmic element of music.
