The first jukebox was built in 1889 but the word "jukebox" was only used from the late 1930s on. The word comes from "jook joint", Black English slang "joog" meaning "wicked, disorderly".
It’s a device which can play music records automatically. It changed the music world because people could listen to music without having to buy the disc; it enabled the poor to listen to music too.
Jukeboxes can be very ornate and have become collectors' items.
