Hardly music at is "purest form", Rock Music is part of the Popular Market of music, and is also included in many forms of Pop and Country Music. Rock Music is slightly overrated in terms of its prowess. While there are many sub-genres of Rock as people proclaim, a majority of Rock falls into a category of four guys with electric guitars, drums, and throat pitched lead vocals. Rock music and its variant forms run the gamut from love, hate, life circumstances, and all kinds of emotions, yet you can find these in other popular genres of music as well. Contrary to popular belief, Rock music is not simply derived from African-American Rhythm and Blues played at a faster tempo. Much of Rock music is stolen from the Country and Western genre, including most of the guitar riffs, the song constructions, and the use of hooks in songs.
Hank Williams Sr, was undoubtedly, the first Rock n' Roller, combining pure mountain folk/country music with a heavy blues and spiritual influence. Rock Music is toted today by mostly white upper middle class kids from the suburbs, trying to rebel against their parents. However, Rock tends to leave people with more grown up and adult tastes in music high and dry, with a few exceptions from alternative and independent Rock music groups. Much of Rock music is substandard in terms of talent, while most Country artists can sing well and perform well live, many Rock bands lack any exceptional musical skill, and this is evident of their live performances. However, Rock music is more an attitude than anything else, and it allows freedom to express anger and rage, which is common among young males in our society.

Rock music is a music genre that mostly is considered the respectable type.. if not abused. But as time goes on, it becomes so ramphant that even zoo animals can create one. Rock music is also the resort for music lovers who just wanted to look cool or who'd rather play instrument to drown their horrible voices or because having so ugly faces they wanna get a lil attention by choosing this as their salvation. As the note increases the instruments' sound also increases prone to breaking the eardrums of real music listeners. Rock music would be best served when concocted with drugs, uncombed and unwashed hair, freaky tattoos, alcohol, bitches, whores etc. And also, most rock groups aren't even talented. They are merely posers who wanna make money and get laid every single second.

Rock music is a genre of popular music that originated in the 1950s via rock'n roll. One of the most popular genres of music alongside pop, rock music has had a large impact on American society.
Although rock music is often used by the two party elite to advance its own agenda, the principles of rock music are based in libertarianism. However, there are a number of rock musicians who use the genre to further their agenda, which hurts the music genre.

Made up of concepts such as suicidal messages, devil worshipping, and screaming. Examples of "legendary" Rock musicians: Avril Lavigne, The Jonas Brothers, Kid Rock, and Kiss. Rock is garbage to the ears at it's worst.
Typical lyrics of Rock Music:
*Screaming* You left me for another guy!!!!
So now all I wanna do is die!!!!
I got my best friend Satan on my side!!!!
Screaming till I finally commit suicide!!!!!!
Hip Hop fan: Wow. And they say Hip Hop isn't positive?

It's a fusion of Classic/Alternative-Rock, Funk Rock, Hip-Hop & Soul combined with soulful overtones as well as melodic choruses. Music considered to soulful to be completely rock and to alternative rock to be R&B Hip-Hop.
The word was introduced by Urban Rock Band The Rocturnals formerly known as KansasCali in early 2000 to describe their style of music.

The difference between rock music and urban rock music is that urban rock is a little more melodic & bottom heavy.
