What exactly is rock music? Some people might argue that rock music is part of the 'black music' genre. If I start getting into that than things might turn political. I'm just happy that it's around so we can enjoy it to the fullest. Rock music is however originally a division from original Jazz music. The rock music we listen today is actually from blues and country music. I guess you can say it is an off shoot of Jazz Music or early American music.
Rock music consists of guitar, drums and bass. Now yes they got all kinds of things like drum machines and different ethnic sounds but originally rock music consisted of electric guitars, strong drums and snares and a solid bass line. When you combine just those three instruments with some amazing vocals you get rock vocals.
Rock music has many influences that makes it very unique and that is why so many people can relate to it. It is the music today for bars and big gatherings where people from all walks of life come in and enjoy it. Original rock music today is hardly around but now their are a lot of sub genre's.
I guess you can say rock music is evolving too just like anything else that is why you have so many different types of rock music. You have hard rock, alternative, punk (Although the punk people don't like to admit it), heavy metal, grunge they are all genre's part of rock n roll.
Rock music although has slowed down and I'm still waiting for the next rock band, their is still some great rock musicians that come out every once in a while. One thing is for sure, rock music is going to be around forever. As long as we love drums and guitars, rock music is going to be alright.
