Country music, once known as country and western music, is a popular musical form developed in the southern United States, with roots in traditional folk music, spirituals, and the blues.
Jazz, A style of American music that originated in the South, started by African Americans; it is characterized by a strong , prominent meter; improvisation; and dotted or syncopated patterns. Early practitioners were Scott Joplin and WC Handy. Ma Rainey, Buddy Bolden, and Louis Armstrong, then Duke Ellington and Billie Holiday, brought the style to more popular status.
Pop Music, music of general appeal to teenagers; a bland watered-down version of rock'n'roll with more rhythm and harmony and an emphasis on romantic love
Rock and roll (also spelled rock 'n' roll, especially in its first decade), also called rock, is a form of popular music, usually featuring vocals (often with vocal harmony), electric guitars and a strong back beat; other instruments, such as the saxophone, are common in some styles. As a cultural phenomenon, rock's social impact on the world is likely unparalleled by any other kind of music.
Romantic Music is defined as the period of European classical music that runs roughly from the early 1800s to the first decade of the 20th century, as well as music written according to the norms and styles of that period. The Romantic period was preceded by the classical period, and was followed by the modern period.
