The connection between classical music and popular music is a very controversial question. Some partisans of classical music may claim that classical music represents art and popular music only light entertainment. But, many popular works show a high level of artistry and musical innovation and many classical works are unabashedly crowd-pleasing. The elevation of classical music to a position of special value is closely connected to the concept of a Western canon, and to theories of educational perennialism. The very distinction between classical and popular music has sometimes been blurred in the border regions, for instance minimalist music and light classics. In this respect music is like fiction, which likewise draws a comparison between classics and popular fiction that is not always easy to maintain.

Popular music dates as far back as the mid 19th century, and is subdivided into genres. Different genres appeals to different age groups. These often, but not always, are the people who were young if the music is new. Thus, for instance, Big band music continues to have a following, but it is probably a rather older group, on average, than the audience for rap. For some genres, such as Ragtime music, the original target generation may have died out almost entirely. With the increasing social and economic independence of young people, this “generation gap” has grown wider and wider since the second World War. Music hall and other forms before the 1940s were not so clearly marked by generation. From the Depression through the end of the war, Bing Crosby was the highest-selling recording artist in the United States. His fan base had no age division. The average Kraft Music Hall listener was 21 years old. But after Crosby’s semi-retirement in 1954, a large generation gap emerged. Elvis Presley became the most popular recording artist among teenagers, while Frank Sinatra was most popular among adults.

This musical genre soon developed a fashion sense that is common among its performers and fans.
