1980s in the USA started with reactions to disco music. Many music genres, such as orchestral music, which were almost identified with the 1970s, were also removed. The music of the 1980s was recognized by electronic sounds made with a synthesizer and keyboard, accompanied by drums that had not been heard before. This has caused a significant change in music.
MTV was founded in the USA and music videos in the recording industry had a huge impact. American Pop artists Madonna and Michael Jackson pioneered this genre and made it a major industry. New Wave and Synthpop were developed by many British and American artists and became an important phenomenon, especially in the early and mid-eighties. Hard rock, Heavy metal, Big Hair Bands and Glam metal gained an extremely important reputation in the 1980s and became one of the most dominant music genres.
The Live Aid concerts, which were held in 1985 with the participation of many artists, attracted attention and created a move to send food to Ethiopia, whose people face a great danger of hunger. Hip hop slowly began to have a strong musical influence.
