Quick decade context
Music changes quickly because it follows technology and culture: radio and vinyl shaped early pop, MTV boosted visual stars in the 1980s, and streaming later changed how hits are discovered and measured.
Decade labels are useful shortcuts, but styles often overlap - many “new” sounds start underground in one era and become mainstream in the next.
