"Blues" in music generally refers to the genre of music known as the blues, which originated in African-American communities in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The blues is characterized by its use of blue notes (usually in thirds, fifths, and sevenths) as well as its emphasis on themes of hardship and struggle. The music is usually played on instruments such as guitar, piano, and harmonica, and is often accompanied by lyrics that express feelings of sadness, loss, and longing.
