“Rhythm and blues”

Rhythm and blues, often abbreviated to R&B, is a genre of
popular African American music that originated in the 1940s.
The term was originally used by record companies to
describe recordings marketed predominantly to urban
African Americans, at a time when "urbane, rocking, jazz
based music with a heavy, insistent beat" was becoming
more popular.

“Rock and Roll”

Rock and roll (often written as rock & roll or rock 'n' roll)
is a genre of popular music that originated and evolved in
the United States during the late 1940s and early 1950s,
primarily from a combination of the blues, country music and
gospel music. Though elements of rock and roll can be heard
in country records of the 1930s, and in blues records from
the 1920s, rock and roll did not acquire its name until the
1950s. An early form of rock and roll was rockabilly, which
combined country and jazz with influences from traditional
Appalachian folk music and gospel.

“Punk”
Punk rock is a rock music genre that developed between
1974 and 1976 in the United States, the United Kingdom and
Australia. Rooted in garage rock and other forms of what is
now known as protopunk music, punk rock bands eschewed
the perceived excesses of mainstream 1970s rock. They
created fast, hard-edged music, typically with short songs,
stripped-down instrumentation, and often political, anti-
establishment lyrics. Punk embraces a DIY (do it yourself)
ethic, with many bands self-producing their recordings and
distributing them through informal channels.

“Heavy Metal”

Heavy metal (often referred to simply as metal) is a

subgenre of rock music that developed in the late 1960s and
early 1970s, largely in the United Kingdom and the United
StatesWith roots in blues-rock and psychedelic rock, the
bands that created heavy metal developed a thick, massive
sound, characterized by highly amplified distortion, extended
guitar solos, emphatic beats, and overall loudness.

“Disco”

Disco is a genre of dance music whose popularity peaked

during the middle to late 1970s. It had its roots in clubs that
catered to African American, gay, psychedelic and other
communities in New York City and Philadelphia during the
late 1960s and early 1970s. Disco was a reaction by New
York City's gays as well as black and Latino heterosexuals
against both the domination of rock music and the
demonetization of dance music by the counterculture during
this period. Women embraced disco as well, and the music
eventually expanded to several other popular groups of the
time.
“Hiphop”
Hip hop music is a musical genre which developed as part
of hip hop culture, and is defined by four key stylistic
elements such as rapping, DJing, sampling (or synthesis),
scratching and beatboxing. Hip hop began in the South
Bronx of New York City in the 1970s. The term rap is often
used synonymously with hip hop, but hip hop denotes the
practices of an entire subculture.

“Jazz”
Jazz is a music genre that originated at the beginning of the
20th century in African American communities in the
Southern United States from a confluence of African and
European music traditions. From its early development until
the present, jazz has incorporated music from 19th and 20th
century American popular music. Its West African pedigree is
evident in its use of blue notes, improvisation, polyrhythms,
syncopation, and the swung note. However, Art Blakey has
been quoted as saying, "No America, no jazz. I’ve seen
people try to connect it to other countries, for instance to
Africa, but it doesn’t have a damn thing to do with Africa".

“Mainstream”
Mainstream music denotes music that is familiar and
unthreatening to the masses, as for example popular music,
pop music, middle of the road music, pop rap or soft rock;
Mainstream jazz is generally seen as an evolution of be-bop,
which was originally regarded as radical.

Opposing mainstream music is the music of subcultures. This

exists in virtually all genres of music and is found commonly
in punk rock, indie rock, alternative/underground hip hop,
anti-folk and Heavy Metal, among others. In the 1960s this
music was exemplified by the music of the hippie
counterculture. In more recent years alternative rock, such
as the music of Nirvana, has managed to express musical
nonconformity while still working within the confines of the
mainstream music market.

“Crossover”
Crossover is a term applied to musical works or performers
appearing on two or more of the record charts which track
differing musical tastes, or genres. If the second chart is a
pop chart, such as a "Hot 100" list, the work is not a
crossover since the pop charts only track popularity and do
not constitute a separate genre.

“Fussion”
A fusion genre is a music genre which combines two or
more genres. For example, rock and roll originally developed
as a fusion of blues, gospel and country music. The main
characteristics of fusion genres are variations in tempo,
rhythm and sometimes the use of long musical "journeys"
that can be divided into smaller parts, each with their own
dynamics, style and tempo. "Fusion" used alone often refers
to jazz fusion.
“House Music”
House is a style of electronic dance music that originated in
Chicago, Illinois, USA in the early 1980s. It was initially
popularized in mid-1980s discothèques catering to the
African-American, Latino American, and gay communities;
first in Chicago, then in Detroit, New York City, New Jersey,
Los Angeles and Miami. It then reached Europe before
becoming infused in mainstream pop and dance music
worldwide since the early to mid-1990s.

“World Music”
World music is a general categorical term for global music,
such as the traditional music or folk music of a culture that is
created and played by indigenous musicians and is closely
related to the music of the regions of their origin.
