The different types of music include classical, jazz, pop, hip-hop, rock, country, reggae, electronica, etc. Classical music is composed in a traditional style and usually has a strong melody line that is played on an instrument or sung by a singer. Jazz music is improvisational and often includes a lot of syncopation. Pop music is generally upbeat and catchy with a repetitive chorus and lyrics. Hip-hop music is characterized by its rhythmic and percussive elements and often contains rapping and other vocal techniques. Rock music typically features distorted electric guitars and drums and often has a driving beat. Country music is usually performed with acoustic instruments such as guitar, fiddle, and banjo. Reggae music is a combination of African and Caribbean influences and often uses a heavy bassline and drum beats. Electronic music is made with synthesizers and digital audio workstations and often incorporates samples from other genres.
