The different types of music include classical, jazz, country, pop, rock, hip-hop, electronic, and world music. Classical music is composed and arranged in a way that follows strict rules and forms, such as sonatas, concertos, and symphonies. Jazz originated from African American musicians who wanted to create their own form of music that was distinct from European styles. Country music typically focuses on themes related to life in rural areas, such as family, hard work, and love. Pop music has been around since the early 20th century and includes popular songs with catchy melodies, simple chords, and repetitive lyrics. Rock music combines elements of blues, folk, and other genres to create its own unique sound. Hip-hop is an urban subgenre of rap music that emerged in the 1970s and 1980s. Electronic music is made up of synthesized sounds and digital beats. World music incorporates traditional musical styles from various regions around the globe.
