Abstract: The term “popular music” is generally used to indicate the diverse range of music genres produced in commodity form for a mass, predominantly youth, market. In cultural terms, popular music is of enormous importance in daily life, and for some it is central to their social identities. In economic terms the products of the music industry make it a leading cultural industry, with income including not just the sales of recorded music, but also revenue from copyright, live music (concerts, tours), and merchandising; along with sales of the music press, musical instruments, sound systems, and sheet music.
