The encounter between spoken words and electronic sounds made music doable without the traditional tools, like a good singing voice or the ability to play an instrument. Through sharp rhymes and rough sounds, the first rappers narrated the harshness of life in the ghetto, while right now, their descendants are experiencing some great success. Many hip-hop sub-genres, such as rap and trap, are now filling the charts and influencing many other popular genres.
The trends evolve at a very rapid pace, thanks to social media and the internet. We could probably write a whole encyclopedia about rock music and its numerous sub-genres.
Rock evolved directly from the Blues, and it became popular in the Fifties, first in the United States and then in Great Britain. From London, it slowly but steadily spread all over Europe, where it became the perfect soundtrack to the ideological turmoil of the Sixties.
On the other side of the spectrum, it regained its simple and raspy approach towards the end of the Seventies, with the Punk movement. In recent years, Rock music is not as popular as it used to be.
Over time, however, Rock became popular all over the world, especially in the States and in Europe, a bit like the two genres analyzed in the previous paragraphs. The rise of computers and digital technology allowed producers to explore new ways to make music. We no longer need a musical instrument to write or produce a song. We just need a computer. This is how electronic music rose to fame throughout the Eighties and the Nineties, with some precedents in the Seventies, when orchestras, however, were still very popular in dance halls.
While Latin music was considered a niche genre up until the Seventies, it gained more and more popularity throughout the last forty years, especially because of Latin summery hits filling the charts all over the world. The realm of Latin music is wide, as it spans from the modern Reggaeton to more traditional Samba or other classic dance styles. Overall, this genre became so popular that many elements of it, especially from a rhythmical point of view, are now a recurrent part of many mainstream productions we could consider Pop.
But McDonald does. Others, such as electro trash, indietronica or hard glam you may only have the most passing acquaintance with. But the question is: what lives even further out than the outliers? How odd can it all get? Well, here are 10 genres we could have nominated about 50 that even mouth-breathing indie record-shop blowhards full disclosure: I used to be a mouth-breathing indie-record shop blowhard would be hardpressed to help you find ….
An offshoot of seapunk and chillwave obviously! That means, at times, it sounds like a teen-exploitation movie soundtrack made on a Casio wristwatch and, yes, that sounds a bit brilliant because vaporwave, thriving out there somewhere beyond witch house, post-dubstep and future garage, is a bit brilliant. Think deep-end metaphysics and navel-admiring esoterica rather than blood-soaked, Satan-licking, tomb-destroying blast beats.
Check: Alcest. Most African American musicians only played blues, but some played classical music as well and learned European harmony. Some even mixed European harmony with the rhythms and scales of blues, and it was from this mixture that "jazz" was born. One of jazz's greatest musicians was the trumpet player Louis Armstrong, who helped to develop many styles of jazz. He was in New Orleans, his home town, in the s when the marching-band style of New Orleans jazz or "dixieland" was being born.
In the s he was in Chicago inventing new ways of improvising with Joe "King" Oliver and his band. Then he was in New York City in the s when big band jazz and swing were developing. These new styles were played by jazz orchestras with a rhythm section drums, double bass , piano and guitar , brass and woodwind sections, and sometimes strings and one or more singers. Swing was hugely popular in the s, becoming the music that nearly everyone danced to. But by the s many young musicians no longer wanted to play in jazz orchestras.
They wanted the freedom to improvise and began experimenting in their own bands. Before long they were playing exciting new styles like bebop and modal jazz. These new styles weren't as easy to dance to as swing, so they weren't as popular, but they found a new audience of serious listeners for whom modern jazz was art music rather than popular music.
In the early s, the music style developed in the US, where it would go on to influence many of the artists of the British folk revival of the s. Inspirational music is a genre of music that most people can relate to, no matter what their age or background is. According to BillBoard the Pop song is the number one genre of music in Apparently, there are more than that, but my research led me to an article on a website that had a list of 32 genres.
This got me thinking about the question of what makes a genre. A genre is typically a type of music that has similar characteristics: it may include a particular type of instrumentation, lyrics, or other characteristics.
Or it might be a sub-set of a larger genre, as a specific country music genre. Enka French Pop. Techno — Punk — 8. House — 7.
Country — 6. Indie Rock — 5. Electro — 4. Latin — 3. What are the 6 genres of music? What are the main genres of music? How many different genres of music are there? There are more than music genres in the world.
