Term rock and roll is generally used to describe the first wave of rock from 1954-1959: others term rock as music after 1964. Magazines such as rolling stone and mojo, books, and cable networks such as vh-1 and mtv take the history of rock and bring it to the general public, promoting interest in rock history. In many cases, information found in the popular media is designed primarily for entertainment and can be skewed and unreliable due to the majority of revenue for these outlets being brought in through advertising. Fans of rock music listen frequently to the music of a particular artist, group or style and gather interesting facts about both the artists and the music.
