This picture shows that different genres are popular in different areas. The origin of genre started with Migrations of the movement of black and white rural people to cities. In the 20th Century both black and white leave rural areas for rural cities and they help invent stylized versions of themselves. White folks who moved to DC area played distinctive guitar styles and a lot of bluegrass. Black folks who moved to DC developed a unique style of hip hop, called “GO Go.” Like African American migrants, white migrants combined enthusiasm for the advantages of modern life with nostalgia. Genre marketing drives people apart but the common roots of popular music remain.

I put this picture in this attachment to show the movement of genres through migration to this day in age. Obviously not all people living in that state it is true for but the majority of that population. Personally I enjoy indie/alternative music but for my state (NJ) it says the majority enjoys Rock, which would describe more of my parents.
