The music sources of early rock music are very extensive, mainly blues, R& etc. B and country music, others include gospel music, traditional pop music, jazz and folk music. All these influences add up to a simple song structure dominated by blues, which is fast-paced, suitable for dancing and easy to remember. The first rock stars-Chuck Berry, Elvis Presley, little richard, Jerry Lee Lewis, buddy holly, Bo Dudley, bill haley, Jean Vincent, Eternal Brothers, carl perkins, and many others-established a model of rock music, which has been followed by people for the next forty years.
In every decade, many artists copied the music of the first batch of rock musicians, while the remaining artists expanded the original definition of rock and roll, and some artists completely broke the limited mode of this genre. From the British invasion, folk rock, psychedelic rock, to hard rock, heavy metal, gorgeous rock, and then to punk, in fact, every branch of rock is loyal to the most basic structure of rock from the beginning. But once such a change happened, traditional rock gradually disappeared from the pop music charts. Of course, there are also some artists who have been shining.
Some bands, such as the Rolling Stones and the Faces, always adhere to the most basic rules of traditional rock, but they make music faster and more free. Other bands, such as the prototype punk underground velvet, New York doll, and clown, retain the basic musical structure, but their behavior has more threatening elements. Other artists have become rock traditionalists, such as Dave edmonds and Graham Parker. Their songs and records never broke away from the rock mode in the late 1950s and early 1960s. Although the word rock and roll has begun to refer to more and more different music styles in the decades after its appearance, the essence of this music has never changed. Then in the early 1990s, Seattle Sound Grease Rock led the rock trend, but it was immediately overwhelmed by britpop, which was full of electronic music. Because these bands from all over Britain quickly conquered a new generation of rock fans, they were called the second British invasion. In addition, in the late 1990s, some alternative rock with punk style or full of electronic music also captured a considerable number of fans. Perhaps the wave of rock and roll is gone, as MacArthur said, veterans are just dying, but new blood of rock and roll is constantly emerging. Electronic music, industry, hip-hop and maybe rock music are not what they used to be, but at least they are a continuation of another rock form.
