          Popular music of the United States in the 1980s saw heavy metal, country music, Top 40 hits, hip hop, MTV, CMJ[clarification needed], and new wave as mainstream.[1]Punk rock and hardcore punk was popular on CMJ.

          With the demise of punk rock, a new generation of punk-influenced genres arose, including Gothic rock, post-punk, alternative rock, emo and thrash metal. Hip hop underwent its first diversification, with Miami bass, Chicagohip house, Washington, D.C.go-go, Detroitghettotech, Los Angeles G-funk and the "golden age of old school hip hop" in New York City.

          House music developed in Chicago, techno music developed in Detroit which also saw the flowering of the Detroit Sound in gospel. This helped inspire the greatest crossover success of Christian Contemporary Music (CCM), as well as the Miami Sound of Cuban pop.
