Teenagers who enjoy listening to the same music often have a common look. Hip hop music, also called hip-hop or rap music, is one of the most popular kinds of music.

Seventeen-year-old Melanie Borrow, from Manchester, England, said, “The things I care about most in life are my Levi's jeans.” In the United States, teens spend a lot of money on hip-hop fashions.
