The Baroque era takes its name from [[architectural]] styles of the period. The word baroque literally means "grotesque," a term given to the era in the Classical period. The Classical era borrowed the term from the [[literary]] styles of the period.
The Romantic era is born out of the revolutionary age of the French Enlightenment, is much more expansive than the hard-and-fast rules of the Classical period, encompasses the entire 19th century and basically died in the [[First World War]].
The Electric age begins with the end of acoustic recordings and beginning of motor-driven, electric recordings. Amplification and radio also played a part. Stylistically, due to [[America]]'s standing in the world immediately after the First World War, [[jazz]] and [[blues]] became popular worldwide although [[harmony|harmonically]] speaking, jazz and blues have their roots in the late Romantic.
Although there are not strict temporal divisions, each period has tended to reflect other things that were going on in [[society]] and [[civilization]] at the time. Each period has a handful of better known composers who represent the style in people's minds.
