How much music do kids listen to? Whether they listen on a brand new iPod, a trusty old CD player, or just tune in to the car radio, music is something almost all kids are exposed to daily.

The most popular kinds of music for youth are Rap/Hip Hop, Alternative Rock, and Hard Rock. On this website, you can learn what research has shown about these questions:
