Music Genres

Music Genres

During this lesson we learned all about music genre and their roots.
I found that all music genres and sub genres all branch off from mainly one genre which is Blues.
The increase in genres is largely due to our desire for change and advance. But it mainly comes from the advancement of technology and the increase in instruments.



Popular Genres of Today

Rock
Pop
Metal
Dance
Rap
Hip Hop
                                    Classical

The music genre I will be focusing on is rock.

Sub Genres of Rock
