Genetic Data Tools Reveal How Pop Music Evolved

TL;DR

The history of pop music is rich in details, anecdotes, folk lore. And controversy. There is no shortage of debate over questions about the origin and influence of particular bands and musical styles.

But despite the keen interest in the evolution of pop music, there is little to back up most claims in the form of hard analytical evidence.

Odd when I copied the link:

https://medium.com/the-physics-arxiv-blog/genetic-data-tools-reveal-how-pop-music-evolved-in-the-us-48ad60bf495b

it dropped the .html when I embedded it in my post. This caused it to be interpretted as media.

It did this several times until I manually added the .html suffix. I suspect it has something to do with the hex string at the end of the URL and forum software.

Perhaps @Greg Bernhardt has seen this happen before.

Apparently, the link is actually tied to the article title. Try moving your mouse around to see if you can find it.
