Popular music dates at least as far back as the mid 19th century, and is commonly subdivided into genres. Different genres often appeal to different age groups^{[citation needed]}. These often, but not always, are the people who were young when the music was new. Thus, for instance, Big band music continues to have a following, but it is probably a rather older group, on average, than the audience for rap^{[citation needed]}. For some genres, such as ragtime music, the original target generation may have died out almost entirely.
