One of the most common sorts of spoken word performances is performance poetry, where a poet either reads poems, or reads poems specifically written to be performed aloud. This type of performance is best seen in poetry slams, where spoken word artists square off in poetry competition. Also gaining popularity in recent years is political and social commentary, done in such a way that it is somewhat more artistic than a typical politically-charged speech.

Spoken word artists are often poets and musicians- it is a form of literary art or artistic performance in which lyrics, poetry, or stories are spoken rather than sung. The genre is often performed with musical accompaniment, or as a background, but emphasis is kept on the speaker or poet as he performs.
