Vernacular music
Vernacular music is ordinary, everyday music such as popular and folk music. It is defined partly in terms of its accessibility, standing in contrast to art music.[1] Vernacular music may overlap with non-vernacular, particular in the context of musical commerce, and is often informed by the developments of non-vernacular traditions.[2]
The sales of phonograph records played a dominant role in spreading a cultural taste for popular and vernacular music styles.[3]
