 I learned:
Country music has never stayed stable
Has more meaning behind its sounds and lyrics than dance music

More women in the 1990s started becoming a massive part of music
Icons such as Madonna, Mariah Carey, and Whitney Houston became huge
Lots of money and wildly popular
easy and upbeat music very popular among teens
Parents and kids have a divided sense of music appeal

Are these artists popular in Europe?
Does music nowadays have more meaning inside of it?
