Research into genres.

Rock Music.

This genre is a form of popular music that has been in making since the early 1960s.

There are sub genres in rock music such as heavy metal, but the majority of rock music consists of a band featuring a drummer, bass player, guitars and a singer.

The music videos are often just videos of the band performing.

Most of the music isn’t synthetic, the artists are making music for the love of making music.

Hip Hop.

Hip hop has came from the Bronx, new York in the early 1970s. The music was traditionally made by African Americans with some Jamaican influence.

Hip hop lyrics are normally about social issues and they are aimed against the government.

The normal hip hop video features just one or two singers miming the lyrics without much of a story.

Some music can be synthetic but some of the older hip hop and original stuff was really from the heart.
