Rock music also drew strongly on a number of other genres such as <a title=\"Electric blues\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Electric_blues\">electric blues<\/a> and <a title=\"Folk music\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Folk_music\">folk<\/a>, and incorporated influences from <a title=\"Jazz\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Jazz\">jazz<\/a>, <a title=\"Classical music\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Classical_music\">classical<\/a> and other musical sources.<\/p>\n<p>Musically, rock has centered on the <a title=\"Electric guitar\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Electric_guitar\">electric guitar<\/a>, usually as part of a <a class=\"mw-redirect\" title=\"Rock group\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Rock_group\">rock group<\/a> with <a class=\"mw-redirect\" title=\"Electric bass guitar\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Electric_bass_guitar\">electric bass guitar<\/a> and <a title=\"Drum kit\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Drum_kit\">drums<\/a>. Typically, rock is song-based music usually with a <a title=\"Time signature\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Time_signature\">4\/4 time signature<\/a> using a <a class=\"mw-redirect\" title=\"Verse-chorus form\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Verse-chorus_form\">verse-chorus form<\/a>, but the genre has become extremely diverse. Like <a title=\"Pop music\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Pop_music\">pop music<\/a>, lyrics often stress romantic love but also address a wide variety of other themes that are frequently social or political in emphasis. The dominance of rock by white, male musicians has been seen as one of the key factors shaping the themes explored in rock music. Rock places a higher degree of emphasis on musicianship, live performance, and an ideology of <a title=\"Authenticity (philosophy)\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Authenticity_%28philosophy%29\">authenticity<\/a> than pop music.<\/p>\n<p>By the late 1960s, referred to as the &#8220;golden age&#8221;<sup id=\"cite_ref-3\" class=\"reference\"><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Rock_music#cite_note-3\">[3]<\/a><\/sup> or &#8220;classic rock&#8221;<sup id=\"cite_ref-studwell_1-1\" class=\"reference\"><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Rock_music#cite_note-studwell-1\">[1]<\/a><\/sup> period, a number of distinct rock music subgenres had emerged, including hybrids like <a title=\"Blues rock\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Blues_rock\">blues rock<\/a>, <a title=\"Folk rock\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Folk_rock\">folk rock<\/a>, <a title=\"Country rock\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Country_rock\">country rock<\/a>, <a title=\"Raga rock\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Raga_rock\">raga rock<\/a>, and <a title=\"Jazz fusion\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Jazz_fusion\">jazz-rock fusion<\/a>, many of which contributed to the development of <a title=\"Psychedelic rock\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Psychedelic_rock\">psychedelic rock<\/a>, which was influenced by the <a title=\"Counterculture of the 1960s\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Counterculture_of_the_1960s\">countercultural<\/a> <a title=\"Psychedelia\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Psychedelia\">psychedelic scene<\/a>. New genres that emerged from this scene included <a title=\"Progressive rock\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Progressive_rock\">progressive rock<\/a>, which extended the artistic elements; <a title=\"Glam rock\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Glam_rock\">glam rock<\/a>, which highlighted showmanship and visual style; and the diverse and enduring subgenre of <a title=\"Heavy metal music\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Heavy_metal_music\">heavy metal<\/a>, which emphasized volume, power, and speed. In the second half of the 1970s, <a title=\"Punk rock\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Punk_rock\">punk rock<\/a> reacted against the perceived overblown, inauthentic and overly mainstream aspects of these genres to produce a stripped-down, energetic form of music valuing raw expression and often lyrically characterized by social and political critiques. Punk was an influence into the 1980s on the subsequent development of other subgenres, including <a title=\"New wave music\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/New_wave_music\">new wave<\/a>, <a title=\"Post-punk\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Post-punk\">post-punk<\/a> and eventually the <a title=\"Alternative rock\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Alternative_rock\">alternative rock<\/a> movement. From the 1990s alternative rock began to dominate rock music and break through into the mainstream in the form of <a title=\"Grunge\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Grunge\">grunge<\/a>, <a title=\"Britpop\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Britpop\">Britpop<\/a>, and <a title=\"Indie rock\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Indie_rock\">indie rock<\/a>. Further fusion subgenres have since emerged, including <a title=\"Pop punk\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Pop_punk\">pop punk<\/a>, <a title=\"Rap rock\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Rap_rock\">rap rock<\/a>, and <a title=\"Rap metal\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Rap_metal\">rap metal<\/a>, as well as conscious attempts to revisit rock&#8217;s history, including the <a title=\"Garage rock\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Garage_rock\">garage rock<\/a>\/<a title=\"Post-punk revival\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Post-punk_revival\">post-punk<\/a> and <a title=\"Synthpop\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Synthpop\">synthpop<\/a> revivals at the beginning of the new millennium.<\/p>\n<p>Rock music has also embodied and served as the vehicle for cultural and social movements, leading to major sub-cultures including <a title=\"Mod (subculture)\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Mod_%28subculture%29\">mods<\/a> and <a title=\"Rocker (subculture)\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Rocker_%28subculture%29\">rockers<\/a> in the UK and the <a title=\"Hippie\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hippie\">hippie<\/a> counterculture that spread out from San Francisco in the US in the 1960s. Similarly, 1970s <a class=\"mw-redirect\" title=\"Punk culture\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Punk_culture\">punk culture<\/a> spawned the visually distinctive <a title=\"Goth subculture\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Goth_subculture\">goth<\/a> and <a title=\"Emo\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Emo\">emo<\/a> subcultures. Inheriting the folk tradition of the <a title=\"Protest song\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Protest_song\">protest song<\/a>, rock music has been associated with political activism as well as changes in social attitudes to race, sex and drug use, and is often seen as an expression of youth revolt against adult <a title=\"Consumerism\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Consumerism\">consumerism<\/a> and conformity.&#8221; (<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Rock_music\" target=\"_blank\">Wikipedia<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p>Rock Paper Scissors<\/p>\n<p>Rock the Vote<\/p>\n<p>Glam rock<\/p>\n<p>Definition\u00a0 (#2): &#8220;In <a title=\"Geology\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Geology\">geology<\/a>, <b>rock<\/b> is a naturally occurring solid <a title=\"Aggregate (composite)\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Aggregate_%28composite%29\">aggregate<\/a> of one or more <a title=\"Mineral\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Mineral\">minerals<\/a> or <a title=\"Mineraloid\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Mineraloid\">mineraloids<\/a>.
