Well, I don't accept ALL this timeline (for me, Garage & Ska are mostly '60s phenomenon), but a nice try altogether. Keep up the good work!

I agree. Garage and ska received their mainstream popularity along the 60's. However, their origins lie firmly in the 50's. In those two particular genres, I believe the tracks I used where from the actual 50's.
Even so, it is VERY common for a certain genre to appear late in a decade while only achieving mainstream popularity in the next decade, making it seem as if the decade in which it became popular was in fact the decade of its birth.
I'm glad you liked the video though, I hope I can keep improving on the decades to follow!

That was very well made. I think the one area I would differ in is that you placed Rock and Roll and little too soon. While its roots go back as a musical genre my understanding is that you can't place it before the 1950s.

Hey Larry, thanks for droping by! I do understand what your saying, and I believe you may conflating Rock & Roll (which began in the 40's) with Rock Music (with its roots in the 50's instead)
The sources I used to make this video consist mainly of Wikipedia. Now we all know Wikipedia isn't perfect, but pertaining this particular question it was well sourced. Let me show you the quote (from the Rock & Roll article):
"The term "rock and roll" now has at least two different meanings, both in common usage. The American Heritage Dictionary[10] and the Merriam-Webster Dictionary[11] both define rock and roll as synonymous with rock music. Allwords.com, however, refers specifically to the music of the 1950s.[12] For the purpose of differentiation, this article uses the latter definition, while the broader musical genre is discussed in the rock music article."

Hope I cleared things up. If you still think i'm wrong, i'll gladly dicuss it
