Rock n’ Roll was originated in the United States in the 1950’s when rhythm

In the seventies heavy metal bands emerged with new sounds of the electric guitar. Led Zeppelin is an example of such band. Most of this decade’s music was intended to be listened to, but not to be danced to traditionally. It became very energetic and loud; it lost the beat that tempted the listeners to dance. Instead of dancing, the musicians and the audience invented a series of random moves that in a way reminded of epilepsy attacks, when a person’s body jerks in random directions. Fans of Rock ‘n’ Roll of the time made a habit of following their band while it was touring around the country. Most bands of the time lived on the road, while touring the cities of America. The way of life was admired by the fans, which were always eager to join the band on the road. The Rock musicians gave the impression of people who don’t care about money or any traditional values of the society. They lived for music.

Rock world was drastically changed in the nineties. In the 1990s the continuing popularity of older bands, such as the Grateful Dead and the Rolling Stones, bore audiences to the continuing appeal of this form among both the young and the increasingly middle-aged. Once being original, older bands lost their edge and gave way for the new generation of Rock bands. Most of the new bands turned out to be much different from the predecessors. Rock music no longer continued to be a way to rebel against authority and injustice. It became oriented more around violence and expression of anger. As different styles of music emerged on the market, Rock lost a portion of the audience to rap music, pop music, or hip hop music. Rock artists became more concerned with album sales rather than music. The dollar became the primary concern of the musicians. In order to attract all kinds of fans, Rock music became not as radical and controversial dealing with topics it once dealt before. Rock artists tried to fit in with the mainstream and because of that rock songs are no longer as meaningful and deep as they once were.

A somewhat turning point in Rock music occurred in the mid-1970s in the form of Punk Rock, which was a response to the stagnation of the genre
