Rock 'n Roll 

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 cannabis.

Rock and Roll is not just a genre of music. Beyond that, it is a philosophy, attitude, and way of life. The purpose of Rock 'n Roll as opposed to other types of music, is to rebel. True Rock asserts that we need to stick it to The Man and Rage against The Machine (see The Man, see also The Machine). Rock and Roll is a way to disent The Establishment, and somewhere along the line we forgot that. Some believe that all you need to rock is righteous outrage, when in fact you also need talent and inspiration.
Rock 'n Roll isn't dead. It's just that it's going through a dry-spell.
Besides, it won't be dead until there are none left willing to Stick it to The Man.

Wearing a pink shirt is the most un-Rock 'n Roll thing you can do.

Those who hate Rock 'n Roll hate living and, indeed, life itself.

rock this bitch 

A Ben Folds fan randomly yelled this at one of his concerts in Chicago. Ben made up a song about it on the spot, and since then it became a signature tune of Ben Folds at his live shows. A friend of Ben Folds made him a bet that he couldn't change the tune of Rock This Bitch at every show for an entire year. He took on the bet, and everytime he played Rock This Bitch, he changed the tune and lyrics, doing a country version, a polka version, and many other variations, like Rock Out With Your Cock Out and even did it to The Weather Channel music. However, he grew pretty tired of the song after a while and officially retired Rock This Bitch while playing with The Western Australian Symphony Orchestra in Perth.
Fan in the audience: Rock this bitch. Rock this bitch!
Ben Folds: Rock this bitch?
Fan in the audience (along with even more fans): ROCK THIS BITCH!!!
Ben Folds: Okay.
