What is a rock song?

Most people don’t know much about rock music and simply think it is a form of music on the surface. In fact, rock music has extremely rich connotations, so I will explain the specific content of rock music. For your reference.

Historical Origins

Rock music originated from the combination of American country music and black blues in the mid-20th century. It became popular in the early 1950s and quickly became popular all over the world. Although some blues in the 1920s and jazz in the 1930s already had rock elements, it was not until the 1950s that rock and roll became an independent genre. Rock music expresses emotions with its flexible and bold expressions and passionate music rhythm, and is loved by young people all over the world.

Rock and roll spirit

Youth’s sense of autonomy (including reflection or rebellion on society, depending on the intensity);

Love and peace (anarchism usually also associated with it);

Anti-religion (in countries with religious backgrounds such as Europe and the United States);

Hedonism or indulgence (popular in the hard rock of the 1980s) Metal - represented by the AOR period);

Pessimism and nihilism (represented by black metal and doom metal).

Spiritual connotation

“Rock is not only a form of music, but in fact it is a ‘life attitude and philosophy’.”

Rock has connotations, at least most of them have it and can be understood by people, and the expressiveness of rock itself can make rock easier to understand. This is the so-called true expression of rock. Sex is also what makes it different from pop music that has been completely commercialized. "Qualified" "rock" singers have perfectly integrated their souls with their works, so there are so many excellent rock works in a wide variety of genres in the world. To truly understand and love it, it's important to understand what rock and roll is about. Because of the differences in regional culture, even if you don't understand all rock works, it's good to know just a few works that you like very much.

Summary

Heavy metal is crazy, full of passion, and bohemian. This is probably our first impression of rock. I wonder if you are interested in the popularization of rock knowledge I have given you. What about its new understanding and experience?
