Rock is a type of music that is very general. People who dont like rock probably only listen to classical (good for them) or rap/R&B (stupid). Many things in the punk, emo, goth, alternative, metal, indie genres are rock. There are bad rock bands and there are bands that scream but this is not at all representative of most rock. Rock is not always about bad things in life but can be upbeat. Rock sometimes contains sexual language but never as often as rap. People who like only rap need to realize it is good for dancing but how talented is someone talking over a beat. And I ask you, is it better to complain about your life when it is really good (emo, I dont like)or is it better to sing about how rich you are (rap, I dont like)? People who rock are definitely not idiots and are smarter than those rappers who never got a full education and who are rich but still shoot at each other. (I hate Mike Jones). They also do drugs. As for the pop-pers they are just dumba$$es. Most rockers are talented but they need a little more to be great.
Rock music usually has several guitarists, a bassist, a drummer, possibly a keybordist and a vocalist (who might play an instrument).
Rock is is being taken over quickly by rap. In my city, Dallas area, there is one "alternative" station that mostly plays crappy nu-metal. There are a bjillion rap stations. People get hooked on the generic beats and simple, sexual lyrics and cannot go back. To save rock by a Muse, Spoon, Interpol album!!! These albums will not get you labeled (ok possible a little depressed) and can help SAVE ROCK!

Muse - They have created amazing sounds with just 3 people (and sometimes a fourth for certain songs). Muse rocks but they do not scream. They are not dumbasses. They are talented. They get their own genre
Nu-metal - Korn (I dislike nu-metal, it is a rap-rock combo)
Metal - DragonForce (metal is OK but there is often a lot of screaming)
Punk-pop - Green Day (punk music has been destroyed)
Punk - The Offspring? The Sex Pistols (punk music is mostly dead but it is not bad)
Emo - Jimmy Eat World or Fall Out Boy (emo used to be alright, but has degenerated into neo-emo, such as Panic! At The Disco)
Pop-rock - OK Go (this genre can be alright but is filled with many pretenders)
Alternative Rock - Spoon (the best genre in my opinion, wont get you labeled {possibly by idiots} either)
Hard Rock - Alter Bridge (not too bad, can be some screaming)
Goth - *dont know any goths* (this kinda creeps me out but not too bad)
Industrial - Marilyn Manson (this genre is a little heavy for me cant say its horrible though)
Brit-pop - The Kaiser Chiefs *might be considered alternative or pop/rock* (I like a lot of Brit-pop but it can get annoying)
Indie - The Yeah Yeah Yeahs (ehh ... not that great and I dont like the vocals of many indie bands)
Experimental - Radiohead (im not in love with them but they are good)
*all bands listed are still creating music or stopped recentely, except maybe for the sex pistols*
Nu-metal - Korn (I dislike nu-metal, it is a rap-rock combo)
Metal - DragonForce (metal is OK but there is often a lot of screaming)

THE NEW PWND! Rocked, originating in the New Jersey New York tristate area, is a verb which essentially means pwnd. Pwnd, as we all know, was becoming quite trite and abused as a word often. As a result, Rocked made its way into the vocabulary of revolutionary men who wanted to change pwnd to rocked. Now, on many mediasharing websites such as youtube, dailymotion, or metacafe, many people use the word Rocked in comments to describe some sort of pwnage.

To be intoxicated on painkillers to the point that your eyes are rolling to the back of your head. Usually adding marijuana within the hour after you take the painkillers it could double your rock. Rocked is strictly used for being on opiate painkillers (hydro/oxycodone, morphine, hydro/oxymorphone, etc.), except heroin, because heroin is just a completely different level of rocked.

The genre of music that is categorized by electric guitars, drawbar organs, drums, synthesizers, and just about every instrument on earth. It's not just Satanism that can be associated with rock, things that one may sing about whilst playing said music, can be politics, women, partying, or nothing. Just instrumental. very broad range of topics to sing about, and rock is so broad that it is difficult to differ some music from pop. It achieved perfection in 1960, and this peak of perfection continued until about '81-'83, but then every douche picked up a guitar and eventually a mass of douches was born enjoying that music. Sadly, there are only a few of us true rockers left, whom actually appreciate good rock music, such as pink floyd, van halen, led zeppelin, Iron Maiden, alice cooper, ect. Rock music had a significant decline in quality in the '80s, and was mega raped in the nineties. while there are the few good bands still out there, such as pink floyd until it was declared defunct in '94, AC/DC with their new album in '08, however rock as we used to know it, is completely boned. Sure ozzfest will have the original lineup of black sabbath, but we shall never go back to the good old days. Now, there are a mass of emos, assholes, buttfuckers, sell-outs, and losers playing the awesome instrument. The only way we will go back to the good old days is by force. If you grew up in the 70's , or just like that kind of music, unite! Rock is also misspelled RAWK used by said rawkers, who have a guitar which they do not know how to play, wear pink, think rainbows are gay (Ritchies' Rainbow! What the fuck happened to rainbows being kick-ass? They where on dark side of the moon for christ's sake!) own a disco ball, and have only listened to a few good songs. Just see the second image. Pretty much the epitome of a RAWKER. Annoying as hell, and listens to plain white t's, hawthorne heights, and a bunch of that shit.
Pink Floyd=good rock
Grand Funk=Good Rock
AC/DC= good rock
green day= shit
hawthorne heights= emo shit
nirvana= bad shit
