Popular music varies between cultures and generations. In the past century, there has been an explosion of popular music styles in the West. Three of them are reggae, punk, and rap.
Reggae developed from a kind of一種 Afro-Caribbean加勒比黑人（Afro翻譯：（尤指類似一些黑人的自然髮型的）阿福羅頭；（圓形蓬鬆捲曲的）非洲式髮型, 非洲 ）music called “mento,” sung and accompanied by guitars and drums. Initiated on the Caribbean island of Jamaica牙買加 in the 1960s, it spread throughout the world in the 1970s. Some musicians changed “mento” into a music style called “ska” by adding a hesitation（由指因緊張或不確定而產生的）猶豫，躊躇 beat. Later, other musicians changed “ska” to introduce “reggae.”
Punk is a style of rock music composed組成（compose翻譯：創作藝術, 作曲；創作（樂曲、詩歌）；著（書）, 由…構成, 組成，構成, 使鎮靜, 編排文本, 排版。）to react against previous forms of rock. Punks felt that rock music no longer represented替…行動、作為、代表 the counter-culture反正統文化 from which it had sprung（spring的過去分詞）、裝有彈簧 and hadsold out to the mainstream, conventional傳統；常規 culture. Through their clothing and hairstyles, punks intended to shock society. The “punk look” included spike尖頭，尖刺 hairdos, ripped撕，扯 clothing, body piercing穿透、刺耳 and jewelry made from objects such as razor（尤指刮鬍鬚或腳毛的）剃刀 blades and safety pins. Their onstage behavior was aggressive and provocative. Punk music is simple, but its message is anti-government, anti-authority, and anti-conformity（對社會規則的）遵從，遵守.
Rap, or hip-hop, is a type of dance music in which the performers—rappers—speak in rhythm and rhyme, but not sing. This art originated in Africa, then, transferred to America via經由，通過 Jamaica, where it was known as “toasting.” In America, during the 1970s rap appeared in the discos of New York’s black neighborhoods. It was mainly about dancing, partying, and the romantic adventures of the rappers, but, later, politics became its important theme.
