What is rock music?

Tasteless Loud Trashy Music, usually listened to by white racists, sexists and homophobes. Rock fans were responsible for the demise of the classy music known as DISCO which was played with real instruments such as violins, had complex orchestral arrangements, was beautiful to listen to and was often composed to make people happy. Rock on the other hand, focuses on electronic crap like guitars and annoying singers who yell and curse and who try to make their music and melancholy and depressing as possible.

The racist, sexist and homophobic people who burned disco records and called people who listen to disco "faggy" were fans of rock music.

What does "rock music" mean?

Music that talks about more things than falling in love and going to parties like all that pop and rap crap music does. Music that actually has instuments playing on stage, and the singer doesn't have a computerized voice. Some awesome rock bands include 12 Stones, Chevelle, Linkin Park, and Trapt.

Rock music - what does it mean?

Rock music is all played with real instruments. The musicians play from their hearts wildly. Rap music is only good if you like mediocrity and banality as a basis for music. It has the same message all the time: Hate, violence, drug crime, failed relationships. Its depressing and tedious. Drum & Bass is incoherent and completely free of appealing qualities.
A lot of rap and hip-hop is also computer-generated and uses a lot of synthesizers. the only band that used synthesizers and made it sound really good were The Who. Rock musicians really put the effort in and play with commitment.

to the user that said N'Sync was rock music, that is ridiculous to the point of beig offensive. N'Sync are an awful pop-poser group, and you let hip-hop and rap go to your head. Rock is about standing up to the establishment, so don't think you won't get comebacks to your stupid comments when you spread your fascist opinions like poison.

Rock music - definition

Rock music is slang for rock and roll music. Originating is the 40's and early 50's, it is a genre of music that has evolved from an experiment between boogie woogie/blues(ex.John Lee Hooker), gospel(ex.Mahalia Jackson) , and country/western(ex.Jimmie Rodgers) along with swing and jazz music known as rockabilly into the hundreds of subcategories and counting that we know of today. The REAL definition is a colaboration between all genres of music of that time. A colaboration of all races, creeds, and positions in society that couldn't have happened if it weren't for the hundreds of things that went terribly wrong and completely right in that period of time. In short, rock music was a miracle of music.

A lot of the reason rock music was formed was when the swinging Big Bands of the 40's were split up by WW2, many either died out or became smaller. They had to rely more on vocals and guitar than the large instumental compositions that they had started out with. Buddy Holly's was the rock music band that set the standard of 3 guitars and drums.

Rock music - slang

Something that was ruined by Nickelback

Back in the day, rock music was actually talented. Examples: Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, The Who, Rush, Aerosmith, AC/DC, Pink Floyd etc.

This was until grunge took over, and since then all you needed to become a big rock star was to maintain a pulse.

Rock music

Rock is a genre that has evolved tremendously in the 20th and 21st centuries. Originally created from blues and jazz from African Americans. Elvis adopted that and turned it into something more.

Rock had it's big contributation during the 60's and 70's leading up to 80's rock. During the 80's many bands had extreme success. Near the end of the 80's and in the 90's is commonly called "The End of Rock" where, people said Rock n' Roll had died and bands just weren't the same. But every generation has it's own music, and modern rockers say today's rock is still alive and well.

At the turn of the millenium, rock began evolving even more and had some commercial success, but was battling over success with rap and pop music. Around 2002 - 2007, punk and emo bands were highly popular among the rock loving teenagers, although then it was called pop, and was highly looked down upon among other types of rockers, it became more accepted among them as well when rap and pop took over. There are still rock bands having success today, such as Linkin Park, Nickelback, Coldplay, and Avril Lavigne.

Rock music has had a long and great history and it hasn't died, only evolved. Just like humanity, we never died, we simply evolved from apes. Rock music will never die and I will always listen to rock. Also everyone stop complaining that rap and pop sucks. It's not all about sex, drugs, bitches and money.

"I love rock music of all types."
"Rock music isn't dead, it's only different!"
