Most Underrated Music Genres On TheTopTens
Jazz is a music genre that originated in the African-American communities of New Orleans, United States, in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and developed from roots in blues and ragtime. Jazz is seen by many as "America's classical music".
Although it is ranked #5 on best music genres, there are just a few lists about it.
Blues is a music genre and musical form originated by African Americans in the Deep South of the United States around the end of the 19th century. Yes, it is underrated. Thankfully, there are a couple users (particularly Britgirl and BrianScott01) who have helped to spread knowledge about the blues and give it some recognition in their lists.
The original blues is quite underrated on the site. However fusion blues genres are more popular than original blues. But still not very popular as rock, pop or metal.
So true. The only person on this site I know that talks about blues is Britgirl.
While a lot of pop sucks, there ARE good pop artists out there.
This is actually overrated. Not just on TheTopTens.
Punk rock is a subgenre of rock music. It usually has rebellious lyrics and down stroked power chords played on guitars. Bad Religion, Sex Pistols, and Green Day (actually pop-punk, which is still punk in a way) are a few punk rock bands. The subgenre influenced thrash metal because of it's down stroked guitar playing and other factors. It's a quite famous genre on this site, actually.
How is this really underrated?
It's not underrated.
I don't know... I've seen some users who are big fans of rap music.
Rap and Pop are actually overrated.
