Spoken Word

Spoken word is a style of music that focuses on spoken word poetry and storytelling. It has a long history, stretching back to ancient Greek and Roman times. However, it only became popular in the United States in the early 1980s when rap music and hip-hop culture began to emerge. Spoken word is often used as a platform for political and social commentary, and many performers have used it to express their perspectives on current events. It has become a popular style of performance art in recent years, with many performers competing in poetry slams and other spoken word competitions.
