Above is a music video by one of my favourite RnB singers - Akon.
RnB music tends to be based around relationships, love life or fighting for life/escaping. In contrast to other genres, RnB music is more slick and classy. Classic outfits are: Black suits, Hoodies, Trainers, Bling, Flat caps etc. RnB music involves a lot of street dance and tends to have a more voyeuristic view of women than other genres.
Typically, the rhythm section consists of a drum kit, bass (electric or acoustic), piano (sometimes organ instead of or in addition to piano), and guitar, while the horn section features saxophones, trumpets, and occasionally trombones. The emphasis on the horn section in most styles of R&B has been one of the ways in which the music has historically been differentiated from white rock music, which has tended to be guitar dominated.
80's pop
Madonna - Lucky Star
An obvious feature of 80's music is the outfits worn. Classic outfits include: Crop-tops, Leggings, Big bows, Nets etc
In this music video Madonna wears red lipstick, black frilly clothing and has BIG HAIR. - A classic 80's style! The dance routine itself is very pop, and the continuous beauty shots throughout the music video is most common in pop videos, however most genres do this as it helps sell the singer.
