    Accented beats in music are stressed beats that occur on strong parts of the measure and receive more intensity, while unaccented beats are relatively less emphasized and occur on weaker parts of the measure. The first beat of each measure receives the strongest accent and is called the downbeat, with other accented beats containing strong stresses and unaccented beats being weaker pulses in between.
