Mainstream music "changes all the time, as each new generation of musicians reacts to a changing world."

Pop music was usually "music that has been in the charts, now or in the past."

In the 1950's "white American teenagers began to listen to R&B and began to use its elements."

Over the years, "successful musicians take elements from different types of music and combine them to form something new and original."
