rock

Sub-genre of popular music characterised by a regular beat and the use of melodic and harmonic strains derived largely from the blues and country music. Originally, in the 1950s, it fell into one of two categories - Rock 'N' Roll (rhythm and blues tailored for a white audience) or Rockabilly (similar but with the country/hillbilly influence to the fore.) Before long new variations of the form began to emerge and, considered as a whole, have been the dominant kind of popular music up to the present time.

If it's nu-alterna-punk-emo-indie music...why does it sound like rock?

Rock

Ever notice all the pop/rap fans who entered a definition for this word type like dyslexic toddlers on crack? Pretty much proves that pop produces retards who can't spell for shit.

Rock and metal are examples of real music genres.
