Music Genres - List

Pop Music:
Pop music is usually electric, and often uses elements from other styles (eg. urban, dance, rock, Latin and country.) However, defining elements of pop music include generally short to medium-length sings in a basic structure (usually verse-chorus format). Also included is the common employment of repeated choruses, melodic tunes and hooks.

Rock Music:
A form of popular music that evolved from rock and roll and pop music in the mid and late 1960s. Often more harsh and self-consciously serious, it was initially characterized by musical experimentation and drug-related or establishment lyrics.

R&B Music:
Rhythm and blues, often abbreviated as R&B or RnB, is a genre of popular African-American music originated in the 1940s.

Classical Music:
Serious music often preformed with orchestral instruments that follows long-established principles rather than folk, jazz or popular tradition.
