What it means

Core

The word 'contemporary' means something that is happening right now or exists at the same time as something else. It can also describe things that are modern or current, like the latest fashion or technology. So, if you say a TV show is contemporary, it means it’s popular and being watched by people today.

The contemporary music on the radio is what all my friends are listening to right now.
