Also, the 80s saw the emergence of Thrash Metal, a genre which started on the west coast of the United States, particularly in California.

Also during this decade, several major electronic genres were developed, including electro, techno, house, freestyle and Eurodance, rising in prominence during the 1990s and beyond. Throughout the decade, R&B, hip hop and urban genres were becoming commonplace, particularly in the inner-city areas of large, metropolitan cities; rap was especially successful in the latter part of the decade, with the advent of the golden age of hip hop. These urban genres—particularly rap and hip hop—would continue their rise in popularity through the 1990s and 2000s. Because there were so many things happening with music and emerging new sounds at the time, the technology used to produce the music had vastly improved compared to previous decades which left many listeners who did not listen to music in this time period often confusing some of the songs thinking they came out later than they actually did; So far this has been the only decade to have this influence and confusion with preceding decades.
