Rock Music

Rock music is a genre of popular music that originated in the 1950s in the United States, evolving from earlier genres such as rhythm and blues, jazz, and country. Characterized by its use of electric guitars, bass, drums, and strong vocal melodies, rock music is known for its rhythmic focus and a typically energetic and rebellious spirit.

The genre encompasses a wide range of styles and subgenres, including classic rock, punk rock, metal, alternative rock, and many others, each with distinct musical and cultural characteristics. Lyrically, rock music often addresses themes of love, social issues, youth culture, and personal experiences.
