When we hear a melody, we naturally fit it into a rhythm where the melody fits a pattern, and the strongest accents of the melody fit the strongest accents of the bar, usually the first beat. When the melody has an accompaniment, the accompaniment can establish the rhythm (especially if drums are included), which means that the melody can have an independent rhythm. If the strong accents of the melody do not fit the strong accents of the accompaniment the effect is called syncopation, and the accented melody notes are called syncopated notes.
