    Abstract

    ![CDATA[Urban music is an aggregate of musical genres that developed in the 1970s in the United States as a form of music radio programming, gaining particular traction in the 1980s and 1990s. The term urban music was coined by radio programmers to appeal to advertisers who wanted programs that would appeal to broader audiences than the dichotomously oriented "black music" stations that featured hard soul, funk, hip-hop, and rap material, and the mainstream white-oriented popular music stations.]]
