Rock

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.

Rock bottom

I'm not ever going to see that you were right because you were not right.
Hym "There is no rock bottom if I don't get to live out the rest of my life as I am then as many of your kids as I can get my hands on don't get to live. I'm not doing this with you. You're not better than me. You mind doesn't work better than mine does. I'm not changing my mind. I'm not working until I'm old like the rest of you pieces of shit.
