Have you ever wondered what kinds of music young people across the United States are listening
to? Are they crazy about Britney Spears? Do they love the Backstreet' Boys? Or do they dance with
Eminem?
Well, nearly 6000 teens have taken part in a Teen & Music survey, made by USA Weekend
Magazine last autumn. And the result showed what types of music are hot and what are not.
It comes without surprise that hip-hop and rap are the most popular types of music among
American teenagers. They began in the mid-1970s with young black kids in New York, taking music
onto the streets. Hip-hop' and rap are well known for the break-dancing that goes with them.
The word "rap" comes from a slang word. It is a rapid thyme that is spoken rather than sung.
Pop music, such as Britney Spears and the Backstreet Boys, has always met the tastes of the general
public. It continues to enjoy support from teens and is the second most popular music after
hip-hop and rap.
The third is rock music with exciting dance beats and simple lyrics that speak loudly of social
problems. The melodies are led by electric guitars. Rock became popular in the US in the early 1950s.
The American singer Elvis Presley and British group the Beatles became world famous rock artists.
The survey also showed that jazz is least loved by American teens. It developed in the later part of
the 19th century from a mixture of African work songs and hymns. Jazz tends to be the type of music
that people enjoy more as they get older.
