Blues is a kind of slow sad music with strong rhythms. It was developed by African-American musicians in the American South. Early blues often took the form of a story about the unkind treatment experienced by African Americans. Many elements of the blues have grown from the music of Africa and religious music.

The blues started at the end of the 19th century and the first blues sheet music appeared at the beginning of the 20th century. Since then, it has developed into many styles such as country blues and urban blues. Several decades later. electric blues with electrical equipment replaced traditional blues. At the same time, the blues also reached a wider audience, especially white listeners. A mixture of blues styles and rock music, called blues rock appeared in the 60s and 70s of the last century.

Nowadays, teenagers like to watch music videos online. This is now more popular than listening to the radio. Some videos can quickly become extremely popular internationally and reach one billion views. Some music hits get more than 10 million views in less than 20 minutes.

Downloading music is a popular choice for youngsters. People in many countries prefer downloading singles rather than albums. This only costs a small amount of money. Using file-sharing websites to download music is often illegal but some people still continue to get their music this way. Record companies and many musicians are very unhappy that people can listen to their music without paying for it.

A shopping centre in the UK recently discovered what kind of music some local teenagers don't like. This is what happened: shoppers and shop owners complained to the police about teenagers behaving badly there. When a new sound system started playing Bach, Mozart and Beethoven, the antisocial behaviour stopped. The young people who caused problems had gone!
