Essay / History of Rock & Roll - 775
Have you ever wanted to learn more about Rock n' Roll, but didn't know where to start? Well, this is where you can learn everything you need from the beginning to the current rock of 2014. Have you ever wondered who the founders of rock are, where the most popular places were or prohibited places for rock, genres or how has it changed over time? You will learn all this in a short time. It all started when Adolf Rickenbacker started producing electric guitar in 1931. Nobody really knows the true birth date of Rock n' Roll, some say 1948 (McName), others say it was started by Elvis Presley (McName). To be honest, many people say that Elvis Presley is the “King of Rock” (rockmusictimeline) and that he started rock music. What people don't realize is that it was invented by Chuck Berry in 1955 (HistoryofRockMusic) and was first played only by black musicians (Hassel). After ten years of popularity, on June 3, 1956, rock was banned. because of a dance party that didn't end very well. Over the years, many people have created different genres. In 1970, Alice Cooper launched Horror Rock and Black Sabbath launched the Progressive Vertigo label (Brunning and Pickering). There are so many different genres; it is difficult to only talk about a few. Different genres also include: gothic rock (which started in the 1990s), hair metal, techno rock, and instrumental rock (created in Australia). By the mid-1950s, rock music became more interesting to young white teenagers (parents weren't very happy about it). This helped bridge black and white racial barriers among adolescents (Hassel). In the 1960s, rock music took over the pop charts. Since rock music existed... middle of paper ...... the limit of alcohol in his system at the time of his disappearance. A lot of time has passed since the first Rock n' Roll band started and now there are some amazing new bands such as; Black Veil Brides, Falling In Reverse, Tokio Hotel, Avenge Sevenfold, Asking Alexandria and Bring Me The Horizon. If Rock n' Roll hadn't happened, I don't think any of these incredible bands would exist today. Seeing how Rock n' Roll has changed over time is very interesting, but think about what it will be like later. in about 20 years. Will rock music return to what it was in the Chuck Berry era? Will they reverse the trend and return to more classic rock, or will they evolve and create more genres? Will live bands become more modest or will they continue to bite the heads off bats? Nobody will know, of course God will know, but everyone will just have to wait and see.
