Pop
Pop music (a term that originally derives from an abbreviation of "popular") is usually understood to be commercially recorded music, often oriented towards a youth market, usually consisting of relatively short, simple songs with lyrics describing themes such as parties, summer, friends, love and having fun. Pop music has absorbed influences from most other forms of popular music, but as a genre is particularly associated with the rock and roll and later rock style. This type of music normally follows a structure of Verse, Chorus, Verse, Chorus, Bridge, Chorus x2 and by combining catchy lyrics and choruses together with this structure makes this genre as popular as it is, as it makes these songs memorable.

Rock
Rock music is a genre of popular music that developed during and after the 1960s, particularly in the United Kingdom and the United States. It has its roots in 1940s and 1950s rock and roll, itself heavily influenced by rhythm and country music. Rock is normally orientated around the electric guitar, usually as part of a rock group with bass guitar and drums. Typically, rock is song-based music with a 4/4 beat but the genre has become extremely diverse and common musical characteristics are difficult to define as many genres have derived from this such as pop-rock, punk-rock and country-rock.
Classical
Classical music is the art music produced in the traditions of Western liturgical and secular music, developing in a broad period from roughly the 11th century to present times. The central norms of this tradition became between 1550 and 1900. This type of music mainly consisted of the instruments found in an orchestra, together with a few other solo instruments (such as the piano). The symphony orchestra is the most widely known medium for classical music. The orchestra includes members of the string, woodwind, brass and percussion families. Nowadays electric guitars and other modern day instruments have been used in classical pieces as they produce a fresh sound that wasn't around in the 16th- early 20th century.
Hip Hop/Rap
Hip hop music is an originated American music genre that developed as part of hip hop culture, which is defined by elements such as rapping, DJing and beatboxing. The term rap music is often used with the term hip hop music, but rap vocals are not always required for music to be considered "hip hop". Rappers may write, memorize, or improvise their lyrics and perform their works acappella or to a beat.

Jazz
Jazz is a musical style that originated at the beginning of the 20th century in African American communities in the South of the USA . From its early development until the present, jazz has incorporated music from 19th and 20th century American popular music. In jazz, the skilled performer will interpret a tune in very individual ways, never playing the same composition exactly the same way twice. A jazz musician/performer may also alter melodies, harmonies or time signature at will.
R&B and Soul
Rhythm and blues, often abbreviated to R&B, is a genre of popular African American music that originated in the 1940's. The term was originally used by record companies to describe recordings marketed predominantly to urban African Americans, at a time when "urbane, rocking, jazz based music with a heavy, insistent beat" was becoming more popular. Through the years since the 1940's the term R&B has been used to describe lots of types of music such as blues then gospel then funk.



Indie
In music, independent music, often shortened to indie music or "indie", is a term used to describe independence from major commercial record labels and an autonomous, 'Do it yourself approach' to recording and publishing. In the 2000s, as a result of changes in the music industry and the growing importance of the Internet, a number of indie rock acts began to enjoy commercial success, leading to questions about its meaningfulness as a term. Indie rock and indie pop are the most popular subcultures of this genre and many British bands such as One Night Only describe their music as this.
