Genre and Social Groups

In todays class, i took a class survey to see what genres of music the class consume. In my results, i found that Pop, Indie and Rock seem to be popular. I have also done some research over the internet to find out what music stays popular today. As a result, i have found that Electro Pop, rock, hip-hop and RnB are the most popular music today. 

Online resources:
 http://www.billboard.com/charts#/charts - This website shows what songs are most popular.
http://entertainmentandmusic.blog.my/2011/04/what-right-now-is-the-most-popular-music-genre/ - This website shows other peoples opinions of what genre of music is the most popular today

Different social groups listen to different types of genres and their appearance and attitudes are different. For example, If you were to see someone wearing dark clothes, dark makeup, dark hair and was listening to screamo music, you would identify them as an 'emo'. 
Whereas, if you were to see someone dressed in a tracksuit, wearing nike make trainers, listening to rave, using 'slang' terminology and come across you with a bad attitude you would identify them as a 'Chav'.
