Rock music is about raw, authentic self-expression, embracing imperfection, spontaneity, and a sense of loss of control. It prioritizes inner emotion over technical perfection, with a tradition of evolution and individuality. Structurally, rock bands typically feature a guitar-driven sound, with bass, drums, and vocals forming the core lineup. Songs often have looser structures, allowing for improvisation and organic shifts in dynamics. Guitar techniques like whammy bars, distortion, and jangly or fuzzy tones contribute to its expressive, imperfect energy.
Rock is also a tradition passed down from band to band, with each generation of musicians taking what came before and reshaping it to express their own inner world without trying to appease others. This constant reinvention, driven by personal and artistic honesty, is why rock music is so vast and diverse in sound—from punk’s raw aggression to shoegaze’s dreamy haze—yet still holds a core essence that ties it all together: a commitment to self-expression, emotional truth, and an embrace of imperfection.

Despite their unique sound, Slint is still rock considering their line-up and their sound being raw and unpredictable, while also showing deep emotional expression.

Bands that think they are full on rock and roll, who usually have a large fan base. However, when the mirror is held up, they are more like a pop band. Examples include the Foo Fighters, Three Doors Down, Winger, and of course Nickelback.
"Unfortunately, to appease my wife, I have to take my kid to that semi rock showcase, with Nickelback headlining. I may need a testosterone booster when I get home.

Liancourt rocks are also called Dikdo.The islands themselves consist of two main islands and about 30 smaller rocks. A South Korean coastguard detachment has been stationed there since 1954.Dokdo was recognised by Japan as Korean territory in 1696, after a run-in between Korean and Japanese fishermen.
The island grouping was formally placed under the jurisdiction of Uldo county in 1900, it said, but annexed by Japan in 1905 ahead of its colonisation of the Korean peninsula.
Dokdo was rightly restored to Korea after World War II, it says. "Dokdo is an integral part of Korean territory historically, geographically and under international law,"
