>40s: blues >50s: doo wop >60s: soul >70s: funk/disco

revisionist history
white folk thought the same of the blues as we do now of mumble rap
give it 60 years and white guys will start doing mumble rock, like the Black Keys and Jack White did blues rock

You forgot all of house techno electro etc.

Typical /mu/

>>70588055
I'm talking the big popular genre and US centric.

House/techno/etc. was underground and a bigger hit in UK

>>70588020
street blues and jazz clubs are still a thing

black music in general has just reached a mainstream popularity

>>70588256
>has just

Black music was mainstream ever since the rise of Elvis and mass record production.

>>70588044
rap rock was a thing before either of those bands.

>>70589693
You mean ever since the rise of Louis Armstrong and Bessie Smith.

i violently disagree

1st - disconnect race from genre, eminem rapped, hendrix rocked
2nd - although one might say that the quality of popular music is declining, and might be somewhat accurate in that statement, who gives a fuck? theres a shit ton of nigger (hehe) music thats fucking amazing. check out kendrick lamar, anderson .paak, or whatever

.paak has a great line in his song silicon valley it goes lil sumthin like this

"all of dat ass u carryin
u gotta be shittin me"

now aint dat some lyricism

>1910: Music is invented

Popular music has always been shit.
Just listen to roots reggae, dub, jazz, blues and traditional african folk music mate.
