Hip hop music started in New York City in the 1970s. It started with African Americans and people from the Caribbean. Hip hop music has a beat like a drum and people talk with rhythm over the music. They call this talking "rapping." Hip hop is not just music. It is also about DJing, breakdancing, and making art on walls.
People in New York had parties outside. At these parties, DJs played music with special parts called "breaks." They used two music players to make the breaks longer. This helped make hip hop music. The DJs used new machines to make different sounds. People liked to rap with these sounds.
Hip hop is a special music for many people. It talks about important things in life. It is a part of culture and has its own style.
Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the music industry
People everywhere are talking about the big sickness called COVID-19. It started in 2019 and is still happening all over the world. This sickness has changed many things - how we live, work, buy things, and visit places.
Lots of people are giving money to help others because of COVID-19. Some countries are working together to help each other. There are also problems with money because businesses and factories had to close.
In many places like Canada, India, Ireland, Malaysia, New Zealand, Russia, the UK, and the USA, the sickness made it hard for people to make money and buy things they need.
Airlines and airports are having a tough time because not many people are flying. Some foods and stores are also having problems. It's a hard time for the people who grow food and work in restaurants. People write about all this news and how we can't travel to different places like we used to.
Everyone is trying to make things better and help each other during this big sickness.
There are jobs where people work with things that adults like. Some of these jobs are dancing without clothes, being friendly with people in special clubs, and making movies or toys for adults. Other jobs are places where adults can watch movies, buy special toys, or see shows. Many people work in these jobs, and mostly they are women. They help others have fun in a grown-up way.
A long time ago, people made up a new word for these jobs. They started to talk about it more in the 1970s. Before that, when people talked about grown-up things, they just thought about magazines.
Some people make money by spending time with others. They might meet in a house, a car, or somewhere else. Sometimes, another person helps them to meet people who want to spend time with them.
