An accessible introduction to the study of popular music, this book takes a schematic approach to a range of popular music genres, and examines them in terms of their antecedents, histories, visual aesthetics and socio-political contexts. At the centre of each chapter is a textual analysis of
key examples of the genres concerned: soul, psychedelia, progressive rock, reggae, funk, heavy metal, punk rock, rap, synthpop, indie, jungle.

Within this interdisciplinary and genre-based focus, readers will gain insights into the relationships between popular music, cultural history, economics, politics, iconography, production techniques, technology, marketing, and musical structure.

Review:
Popular Music Genres offers a different introduction to the study of popular music. Key to the book is the notion of genre! It is a welcome addition to teachers of popular music who have problems getting their undergraduate students, who would rightly or wrongly much rather learn about 'popular music itself', interested in the compliated and sometimes obscure theories of cultural studies and popular music research. -- Sanna Rojola, University of Jyvaskyla, Finland Popular Music Genres offers a different introduction to the study of popular music. Key to the book is the notion of genre! It is a welcome addition to teachers of popular music who have problems getting their undergraduate students, who would rightly or wrongly much rather learn about 'popular music itself', interested in the compliated and sometimes obscure theories of cultural studies and popular music research.
