<style>
@media screen and (min-width:480px) { // These brackets should contain css styles.

// They will be applied if the condition is met

// Select an element within the media query. 

 }

// Media queries do not work like below ( There is nothing selected either ):

@media screen and (min-width:1280px){ color: white; }

@media screen and (min-width:780px){ color: blue; }

@media screen and (min-width:480px){ color: red; }  
</style>
