Are there types of music today that appeal to certain groups rather than others? Yes, I think that there are definitely different music types that appeal certain groups. But, just because the music may appeal to a certain group doesn't mean that it can only appeal to that group. I think that now although someone may favor a certain type of music they're typically not completely opposed to every other type of music. I think that people are beginning to branch out and not only listen to only one specific kind of music.
Disco became big because of "urban discotheques, disk jockeys and fan magazines" and not because of the typical radio stations. Do you think that music that gains fame this way will still be listened to years from now, or dead like disco? I don't think that music ever gets popular this way in today's world. Today I would say that most of the music becomes popular through the internet. With iTunes everyone had access to the same songs and can make a song popular. If music does become popular in a non-traditional way it will eventually end up on the internet, allowing easy access for everyone else.
