Listening to music

But I am a little vague about the types of music

In my spare time

Let’s briefly understand the main types of music

Hip-hop, so-called Hip-Hop.

Origin

Modern people have different opinions on the origin of hip-hop style. Some say it originated in ancient Africa and reflects the life attitude of primitive African tribes, while others say it originated in Jamaica.

Hip-hop began to become popular in the 1970s with the emergence of music synthesizers, which combined with dance steps to express unruly sadness and anger.

Therefore, it has strong personalization, pursuit of self-identity, and anti-mainstream rebelliousness. This style of music and dance quickly spread in black youth settlements and streets in big cities, developed and expanded among African-American and Latino youth in New York City, and spread all over the world.

Hip-hop was originally a street culture and an attitude towards life. It has a close relationship with extreme sports such as skateboarding and BMX, which are also street cultures.
