R&B refers to two distinct music genres.
Rhythm and Blues is a derivative of blues and pop from the 1940s mainly for a Black audience by Black artists. In its first years (and oftentimes since), it was used as a catch-all for Black music and a replacement of the term "race music".
Contemporary R&B typically follows the trends of modern pop and incorporates hip-hop more than blues. Pop is more similar to contemporary R&B than "classic" R&B is.

Dude, just cuz my girl is knocked up, that doesn't make her a Form Factor B. Once it drops she'll be back to normal.
