Rock-and-roll

Rock-and-roll is a genre characterized by its energetic and rebellious sound, marked by strong emphasis on rhythm, electric guitar riffs, and driving drumbeats. Emerging in the 1950s, rock-and-roll evolved from a fusion of blues, country, gospel, and rhythm and blues, with artists blending these styles to create a unique sound. The genre's heyday spanned the late 1950s to early 1960s, with its impact extending far beyond music, as it became a cultural phenomenon, symbolizing youthful rebellion and social change. Rock-and-roll's distinctive vocal styles range from smooth, harmonized doo-wop to raw, emotive crooning, often accompanied by catchy, sing-along choruses. Its influence can be seen in subsequent genres like garage rock, punk, and new wave, while its eclecticism and experimentation set it apart from more polished, commercial pop styles.
