Rock N Roll is an attitude. It is dangerous and provocative. It's all about having a good time, dancing to how the music makes you feel, and finding yourself through the stories that rock artists create.
The genre was created from a combination of many already existing genres- Black Gospel Music, Jazz and Blues all combined played a part in forming Rhythm & Blues-and later as whites were attracted to it, it became known as Rock ‘N’ Roll.
Ultimately it is filled with every type of genre you can think of from glam rock to punk rock. There is a type for everyone to enjoy and a band for everyone to connect with. It is an era that shaped our nation and it will never be forgotten for times to come.
