Rock in Opposition (RIO) is a genre that emerged in the late 1970s, embodying an avant-garde fusion of progressive rock, experimental music, and elements of classical, jazz, and folk traditions. This genre is characterized by its opposition to the commercial musicscape, reflected in its complex compositions, unconventional time signatures, and an eclectic use of instrumentation. Artists within the RIO movement, such as Henry Cow and Univers Zero, showcase a deep commitment to musical experimentation and a disdain for the mainstream music industry's constraints. Their work often includes intricate arrangements and a politically charged ethos, aiming to challenge listeners' perceptions and expectations of what music can be. The genre remains niche, appealing to a dedicated audience that appreciates its artful defiance and innovative spirit.
