Now what I ment about "modern" music I ment as in 20th centuary and higher.(or until the last time that I update this site). Now, during the 20th centuary there was an explosion of types of music that were created. Before gramphone records and radio broadcasting people used to go to things called Classical music concerts and musical theatre shows. Then came sound recordings witch were a very huge influence on popular music genres. Sound recordings was a very important part of the expanding of music since, it allowed bands and singers to record there songs and spread them worlwide!
