Rap and hip-hop may be related to "pop" today, it sure wasn't in the past.

That is, it would probably make more sense to call the genre "mainstream pop" rather than rap/hip-hop. Mind you, there was no rap nor hip-hop in the 70s, and hardly any in the early 80s.

So true! Or at least a generic 'dance' or even 'club' catagory.

As it is I went for rap/hip hop/pop 26-40 which is a bizarre reduction. but there you go!

Maybe you should do another poll?

A professional market researcher writes:

I think these are good categories with a couple of caveats:

- Rock/Blues and Country could be combined, if Rap/Hip-Hop/Pop are.
- this would give you a chance to put in another age break, 8-15 covers some big taste-shifts generally. Maybe under 12, 12-19, 20-29, 30-45, 45+?

I'd rather have changed the categories to

- Mainstream pop
- Mainstream rock
- Underground/indie pop/rock
- Urban/R&B/Hip-hop

Thanks for the help Tom and Geir!

I have to admit that this was put together rather hastily, as we were only given about a week to do a really good job.

The next time I do something like this i'll keep your helpful hints in minde.
