In practice, modern day entrance themes are normally rock or rap music, as these genres of music are popular with the professional wrestling key demographics. Due to licensing costs, entrance themes are often composed by the promotion for which the wrestlers perform in order to avoid having to pay royalties. A promotion might also purchase music from production libraries, which is considered to be cheaper than the royalties of commercial music, or use public domain music, which is available for no fee. Due to less restrictive copyright laws in Mexico, Lucha Libre promotions use mostly popular songs. In addition, ECW used popular music in order to promote a hip, edgy, counter-culture image, despite the greater expense involved.
