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.

When you are in charge of a playlist for a large group and an extremely embarrassing or terrible song comes on the mix, making you the subject of scorn.
"Matt set a dope 90's playlist in the office today, but ran to a meeting just before "My Heart Will Go On" came on, so he didn't even have to face the music."

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.

The best way to listen to an album for free without paying a penny.
Also, a great way to find some obscure band that nobody has heard of, but who cares about that part.

Mostly good music, but often overrated. Is held in high-esteem due to Eurocentrism and/or racism. That being said, Chopin is cool.
John only like classical music. He is not willing to give jazz, rap, or eastern music a try. Sucks to be him.
