或称“Rock N'Roll”
It originated in the mid-20th century
A combination of American country music and black blues
Alan Freed of WJ Music Radio in Cleveland, USA, first used the term "Rock N' Roll" in 1951 on his music show Moon Dog Blues. In March 1952, Fried held the "Moon Dog Coronation Ball" in Cleveland Square, which could accommodate 10,000 people, and the more than 20,000 people who came to see it almost broke their heads, and the ball was cancelled. Fried ignited the passion of people with rock and roll, and was loved for it.
The early rock 'n' roll was rough and quite monotonous,
A few simple criteria can establish a singer's rock identity.
He has to have wild typhoons,
The music has a strong sense of rhythm and makes extensive use of electroacoustic instruments,
Until the appearance of "Elvis Presley",
As a result, this new genre has taken deep root in popular culture.
RCA Records paid $35,000 to poach Elvis Presley from Sun Records, which was astronomical in the '50s! But Elvis Presley's debut single, "HeartbreakHotel," didn't respond well for the first month after its launch, just when many of the company's executives began to regret their decision to sign Elvis Presley.
The song's position on the Billboard singles chart began to rise continuously, and finally rushed to the top of the singles chart, and won for 8 consecutive weeks! At this point, Elvis Presley's wild-haired image of exaggerated hip twisting on the stage quickly spread throughout the United States.
Later rock music constantly absorbed the nutrition of various musical elements,
R&B, jazz, folk and gospel music,
are the objects of his reference and learning,
In a short period of time, the influence of rock and roll expanded rapidly.
In the 1960s, Bob Dylan embraced an electroacoustic guitar, infusing rock 'n' roll with a deeper intellectual essence.
The British beatles announced the liberation of the soul with their music, opening up the imagination of rock and roll.
The tough Led Zeppelin band of the '70s, the psychedelic Pink Floyd, the '80s Sex Pistols and pop king Michael Jackson—these brave, intense, innocent, and persistent souls have found their place in rock 'n' roll.
It is precisely because of these great rock musicians that rock music has a richer connotation, rock music has also derived more and more branches, folk rock, garage rock, psychedelic rock, funk, punk, heavy metal, electronic music, etc., making it truly become a trend that is overwhelming.
Rock

It has been given social and cultural meanings.

Pure and free paradise.
