Tin Pan Alley developed in New York City in the 19th century and was comprised of commercial songwriters of vaudeville, ballads, and dance music. In the 20th century the growth of film, audio recording, radio, and television led to an increased demand for different kinds of music, causing Tin Pan Alley to decline as other music-publishing centers emerged.
