Where did the music genre ‘hip-hop’ originate?
assistant
Hip-hop originated in the Bronx, New York. The genre was first coined in the 1970s by African Americans who had migrated to New York City. They took the rhythmic, percussive sounds of the early jazz and funk music that was popular at the time, and combined them with the poetry and stories of their ancestors from the Caribbean and West Africa. The term hip-hop was derived from the phrase "hip" to mean "up to date," and "hop" to mean "to jump."
