Have you ever wondered what kind of music kids across the Pacific Ocean are listening to?Are they crazy about Britney Spears?Do they love the Backstreet Boys?Or do they dance to Eminem?
Well,nearly 6,000 teens have taken part in a Teens & Music study,conducted by USA Weekend Magazine last autumn.And the results show what type of music is hot and what is not.
It comes as no surprise that hip-hop and rap are the most popular types of music among American teenagers.They began in the mid-1970s,with young black kids in New York,taking music onto the streets.Hip-hop and rap are well-known for the breakdancing (霹雳舞) that goes with them.
The word "rap" comes from a 1960s slang word for conversation.It is a rapid,slangy rhyme that is spoken rather than sung.
Eminem is among the most popular rappers ever to hit the US.His first album "The Marshall Mathers LP" topped the American music chart (排行榜) in May 2000.Although about a third of teens in the US showed their support for him,almost as many said that his music was so offensive that they couldn't listen to it.
Compared with Eminem,actor-rapper Will Smith is more of a star for the kids.He was awarded the Wannabe Award,on April 12 at Nickelodeon's 16th Annual Kids' Choice Awards.It is an award given to a celebrity whom kids most want to be.
Pop music,such as Brittney Spears and the Backstreet Boys has always suited the tastes of the general public.It continues to enjoy support among teens and is second most popular after rap.
Third is rock - music with exciting dance beats and simple lyrics that speak loudly of social problems.The melodies (旋律) are led by electric guitars.Rock became popular in the US in the early 1950s.American singer Elvis Presley and British group the Beatles became world-famous rock artists.
The study also showed that jazz is least loved by American teens.It developed in the latter part of the 19th century from a mixture of African work songs and hymns (赞美诗).Jazz tends to be the type of music that people enjoy more as they get older.

你想知道大洋彼岸的孩子们喜欢听什么类型的音乐吗?他们迷恋“小甜甜”布兰妮吗?他们喜欢“后街男孩”吗?他们用“艾米纳姆”的音乐跳舞吗?
嗯,去年秋天大约6000名青少年参与到美国周末杂志举办的“青少年与音乐”的研究,结果显示了什么类型的音乐受欢迎,什么音乐不受欢迎.
不出意料,在美国青少年中劲爆音乐和说唱音乐是最受欢迎的音乐.这些音乐开始于70年代中期,是由纽约的黑人青年在街头表演的音乐,劲爆音乐和说唱音乐让人印象深刻的是“霹雳舞”
“rap”这个词来源于60年代的交际用语,它是一种快速、押韵的说而不是唱.
艾米纳姆是美国当时最富盛名的说唱歌手之一,他的第一张专辑《超级大痞子》在2000年5月荣获美国音乐排行榜冠军,虽然大约三分之一的美国青少年表达了他们对他的支持,但同时也有许多人说他的音乐令人烦躁,不适合收听.
相对于艾米纳姆,演员及说唱歌手威尔.史密斯更是孩子们心目中的明星. 他在4月12日召开的第16届儿童点唱票选中荣获“成就奖”.这个奖是颁给孩子们最喜欢的明星.
流行音乐,如“小甜甜”布兰妮、“后街男孩”都能适合大众的口味.这些音乐依然继续受到青少年的喜欢与支持,因此位列说唱音乐之后排名第二.
排名第三的是“摇滚音乐”,那令人振奋的舞蹈节拍、简单的歌词,大声倾述着对社会的不满.旋律是用电子吉他弹出的.在50年代早期“摇滚音乐”就成为了美国的流行音乐.美国歌星“猫王”埃尔维斯和英国甲壳虫乐队成为举世闻名的摇滚艺术家.
这个研究也显示出“爵士音乐”至少受到美国青少年喜爱.在19世纪后半叶,爵士音乐从非洲的劳动歌曲、赞美诗中发展而来.爵士这种类型的音乐老年人更加喜欢.
