An alternative spelling of the word Rock, frequently used to refer to alternative music. Rock, in it's original form, is used more often to refer to classic rock 'n' roll acts such as The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, and The Who.

Rawk usually used to refer to bands like Skillet, Family Force 5, and Hawk Nelson.

It is also the way Thousand Foot Krutch spells it in the song Rawkfist.

When referring to a music genre, a modernized version of its classic form "rock."
Whereas "rock" holds a classic connotation (eg: The Stooges, Led Zeppelin), "rawk" is reserved for later bands of a similar but expanded-modern style (eg: Rye Coalition, At the Drive-In).
