The phenomenon which began in the 50'
s with the combination of rhythm and
blues, country music, and gospel. It was pioneered by Chuck Berry, transformed by The Beatles, hardened by
Led Zeppelin and AC/DC, and through the course of the 70's evolved into the pinnacle of musical glory.
Since then, it has lost the "
Roll" and degenerated into "Rock" a generic term for all manners of crappy, modern,
guitar driven music that has nothing to do with the messages, anthems, and ideals of old. Rather than professing a belief in the "Livin' easy, livin' free" lifestyle professed by AC/DC and their contemporaries, "Rock" now aims to piss and moan as much as possible whilst backed by horrible, rehashed guitar and pre-pubescent vocals about slutty girlfriends and cannabus.
